That’s what I’m talking about though, no other MBTs have their internal composite armour and the outer steel layer that covers it disappear from the armour view when pressing that button, only the Challengers do, and also, they didn’t used to either this is a rather recent thing.
I don’t want a Leopard 2 bud, I just want a tank that is as good as it’s contemporaries.
Buffing CR2 would help, Gaijin have proven they wont
India has no options that are top tier
Excluding the new light tank
TBH I think if we just got a Leo 2A6M CAN then we would be sorted for a while. There is the large SPAA gap that needs filling after the ADATS but I don’t think we will get ZA-HVM anytime soon. I also wonder if Leo 2A6M has the normal German RCWS that is normally found on their Leopards?
i am not a fan of UK just getting thrown vehicles from everywhere just out of pity
german leopards do not have rcws, the only rcws leopard right now is propably is the 2a7HU

The RCWS on the PSO is the standard ones the Germans use. The crews normally don’t have them equipped because A. There aren’t any available, B. They choose not to or C. There aren’t any because the Bundeswehr didn’t buy any since the massive budget cuts. Modern Leos from the 2A5 or 2A6 to the most modern variants are all capable of using it (if there is a space available for it or there is already another RCWS on the turret), they are a lot like the British RCWS for the CR2s (can’t remember name rn) and can get used be all, no matter the version
no literaly german leopards do not use RCWS, no 2a5,6,7 . The PSO was a demonstrator.
But germany considered the RCWS technology not finished yet at the 2A7V time and decided against integrating it. German leopards are not able to use RCWSm no idea where u got that from
Thought they could use them. I’ve seen plenty of pics of Leos with them. I refer to the PSO as it uses the RCWS I’m talking about
literaly would love to see them.
Its only the 2a7+ and PSO you will see pictures of them, both coming out of the same project for an urban fight leopard version. No inservice leopard has them
TLDR canada has no RCWS
The last attempt in my long going project.

If that is not enough for Gaijin, they might as well just admit they “know better”.

Very nice! Now if we could combine the BK with the power pack from the 2E and the fire power from the CR3 we might actually have a tank only marginally crappier than a Leopard 2A5/A6
If the armour was modelled like the Russian armour then the CR2 would be very good but they are just ignoring everything that might be wrong for Britain

What do you mean? It is modelled as russian armour. Very poorly made and the ERA is filled with egg cartons.
Oh you mean in game Russian armour. I see.

Russian armour IRL is NOT like what it is in the design that is proposed before production begins, just look at the T34 or IS 3 or any other Russian tank that has a bad reputation for having shitty armour and considering any leaked classified document on the CR2 is sent to the KGB and then deleted but if it’s Russian then it is used and the numbers are made 10x better in protection than its supposed to have

That technically isnt true, we trialed the M1A2 I believe it was and could have that as an additional tank, not as an Australian or Canadian vehicle.
Likely end up with some “Indian” copy paste somewhere
10.7 is also strong af for britian.
Eh I still tend to do far , far better in my 2a5 and 2a6 than I do in all my CR2’s they are just more well rounded and better platforms in game.
If the 2a7 is better than the 2a6 massively I dont see why it and the STRV 122B+ shouldn’t move up.
Its not really out of pity at all.
They were supposed to rework and remodel the CR2’s as they were massively incorrect, and after the whole overhaul they actively made them worse
As well as this, Britain realistically should of gotten Canada as a sub tree over India, as Canada is far closer related to Britain military and alliance wise than India.
Much like how randomly the NL was added to fking France which makes literally zero sense there at all.
Personally im not a main of any tree, I find the way gaijin is just ham handedly dealing with every nation RN deplorable and think we need to stop blaming each other and take a loot at them.
they are actively ruining each tree with the nonsense they are up to.
it took what? 2 years for germany to get a good top tier at the same time as everyone else.
Mig29G was good, still seems it, however it came too late to be a top contented (as far as I have seen) and it was one plane out of how many updates?
they are better, i am not fighting that, still saying the 2a7v is hard to kill is factualy wrong.
br compression being a problem is a thing, but no matter what the challengers 2s would always fight the 2a7v cause they would get sucked into the br range
it is
but it didnt and anymore is just way to much, at that point why play anything when UK gets stuff from every other nation. Australia or Canada at this point are an unfair implementation into the UK
still a different from air and ground, grounds are line ups that are made up of way more then a single vehicle
