I'm pretty sure the French AMX-30 would have been re-modernized and more exotic versions of the Leclerc would have been produced (Leclerc with stealth technology).

Checking the AMX-30 Wikipedia article i come across this: During the 1990s, the AMX-30 has also been used as a testbed for several stealth technologies, including air cooling of hull surfaces and the use of visual camouflage. This prototype is known as the Démonstrateur Furtif à Chenille. Its hull and turret are fully covered by a superstructure built of angled plates made of radar absorbent material.And checking what the Démonstrateur Furtif à Chenille looks like i end up with this tank.  |

Yes, even if this project would have been probably just a step for an advanced leclerc MBT.

If a tank can be beautiful, then this is one.

If there are any countries that can make an aesthetically pleasing AFV it would be France & Italy.

Will doubled cannon tanks be invented here? Such as the one we saw in Call of Duty: Black Ops II?  |

I would expect the US to have the M1A3 in service by now, but maybe there would be a replacement vehicle entirely?
Also, US light forces would probably be equipped with the M-8 or the new MPF system. Where would the Stryker ICV concept be?

For smaller NATO armies in Europe - Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Canada and Spain - would they continue to buy German tanks, or go to UK/US/French suppliers?
