I never saw any reason why foreign armour/afv’s was added to the UK tree when so much of the British stuff is missing.If Gaijin have to then do a Commonwealth tree separately and we can lose all that out of place South African stuff that so many dont want.
It’s not a Leopard in the first place, it’s India’s own domestic tank and it only looks like a 2A4 because it was made by the same people contracted from Germany by india.
