In particular, the oscillating turret design is particularly shallow above the breech, allowing for a low turret silhouette, a considerable advantage. This was the justification for the first oscillating turret, that of the French AMX-50 medium or heavy tank in the 50 tonnes class. This used first a 90 mm, then 100 mm, gun in an oscillating ...
The SK-105 Kürassier is an Austrian light tank [4] armed with a rifled 105 mm gun in an oscillating turret. It is estimated that over 700 have been produced, with initial deliveries in 1971. It shares its CN 105-57 main gun with the French AMX-13, which was widely produced and deployed.
The Kugelblitz combined the chassis and basic superstructure of the Panzer IV tank with a newly designed oscillating turret. This turret was fully enclosed, with overhead protection and 360° traverse. Mass production was planned, but never happened due to the disruption by Allied bombing efforts. [2]
The T54 was a series of prototype American tanks of the 1950s with three different turrets, all armed with a 105 mm gun, mounted on the M48 Patton chassis. The T54 had a conventional turret with an autoloader with 3 shells, the T54E1 had an oscillating design with an autoloader, and the T54E2 had a conventional turret with a human loader.
The T69 was a prototype American medium tank with an oscillating turret mounting a 90mm cannon with an eight-round drum autoloader. [2] It held a crew of three. Developed on the basis of the T42 experimental medium tank in the mid-50s, the vehicle never entered mass production.
Above the massive hull, there was the oscillating turret, smaller, lighter and more compact than that of the Tiger; the sloped face of the upper part had a thickness of 85 mm. In the turret rear back there was the commander's cupola, well equipped with optical equipment. The turret had an optical rangefinder.

The oscillating turret was the most armored section of the vehicle, with a 5.0 in (130 mm) plate angled at 60 degrees. The gun mantlet was 4.0 to 10.0 in (100 to 250 mm) thick at 45 degrees. The sides of the turret were 2.75 to 5.35 in (70 to 136 mm) thick at 20 to 40 degrees of angling while the rear of the turret was 1.5 in (38 mm) thick as ...
