The tanks utilized the 76 mm Gun T91E3, which was later standardized as the M32. In the M41A1, new ammunition racks were installed in
the turret thanks to increased space granted by a new, compact weapon mount.
This increased the turret’s ammunition capacity from 13 to 21. In total, the
M41 could carry 57 rounds while the M41A1 could carry 65.

Overall, I think this tank is fairly accurately represented.
However, I would like to move back to Tier VII. The T71 was built as a successor to the M41, so it doesn't make much sense to put it before the thing it was meant to replace. Also, at Tier VII, the T71 is fairly overpowered, and there's a few upgrades we can make to that tank as well which would make it better suited for Tier VIII.
I’ve also removed the T91E5 autoloader from the tank. But don’t worry,
that can be found on the new T49 at Tier VIII. Other than that, all I’ve done is
the usual renaming of some modules for added clarity.
