[edit] 120mm in the 60s

I've changed that the calibres in the west became 120mm in the 60s to the 70s and 80s. Although the chieftain with its 120mm gun was fielded in the late 60s this was the exception to the otherwise ubiquitous 105mm L7 in the west. Other 120mm equipped tanks such as Leo 2 and M1A1 were really from the very late 70s and 80s --Mongreilf 11:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

And the Conqueror tank was there in the 50s-60s for additional firepower. GraemeLeggett 12:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
