I don’t see why I’d bring this over any of the other 12.7 Leos besides the reload speed. Maybe if it had DM53. Its just an overall worse 2A7 and if you’re someone who has only gone down the Leo line and not the Prototype line then why would you ever even bother?
The lack of a “NATO hump” does give it some utility on a very limited number of maps that are more open (ergo enemies can get behind your team easier)

The regular Leos shouldn’t have that huge deadzone either. They can depress the gun over the engine deck, just without stabilizer
I think most people don’t even know what volumetric actually means lmao
german embt no get the dm53? a german mbt no get german round? + its standard nato 120mm ammo for this reason strv get dm53 but irl no opertate with this ammo…

Will you provide a link to your bug report regarding the EMBT’s hull armor later?) Or won’t you be filing a report?
Unfortunately just don’t have enough information to prove otherwise currently 🤷♀️ due to everything stating 2a7 and not actual specifics

I even tried using EODH to improve the Armor on the 2A7s because they supply the german and hungarian Leos with them and they also use the same Armor on the 2A6HEL but the Developers think otherwise.

They will never, NEVER fix Leopard 2A7’s armor.
Same goes for the Leopard mantlets, SEPv3 hull, etc.
They made their mind about what they wanted it to be before even implementing it.
No amount of proof, evidence, no matter how flawless, will ever make them fix it. They want it to be like this and it will remain like this.
They advertise faithfulness, but they tailor everything to their personal wants despite consistently refusing to do so.
Shame.

There is simply no more Evidence for the 2A7s to get their Improved Armor, Though If we get the 2A8s KNDS and EODH have partnered to make their armor so who knows but I highly doubt that we get the 2A8s in any foreseeable future.
Plus There is a massive Issue on the Logic of the 2A7s and the Strvs/HEL which is Gaijin´s View on Both Armors Between “Swedish” Armor and “German” Armor which well goes back with the Swedish Trials and they have stuck with that logic and keep with it at all costs Even though Both Tanks use the same Exact same Armor Package from IBD. Trying to now Report something with the Swedish Trial´s Graph and its gonna end up in a Legal Matter due to it being now Classified (The Entire Trial was accidentally Published) so we are basically stuck with this 1995 Armor on a 2018 Tank.

It’s because they are stupid. Without a major rework it won’t happen and that rework was promised 3 years ago

Yes and that also sadly involves the Puma IFV now since well it has essentially gotten a one done deal and thats about it.

Well, at least we are kind of seeing some reworked bits of the Leopard damage model on the 2HEL, having a smaller basket and stronger turret front around the gun, not much more than that though.

What is wrong lmao
?
Didn’t line it up right but it is 100% smaller, gunner and loader have been shifted slightly to account for it.

Didn’t someome even go up and measure that?
Oh I mean EVEN BY GAIJIN’S NUMBERS
According to the armor chart of Gaijin, it should be 400-500mm KE… but it’s barely 105mm KE. Ridiculous.

Betting my ass they won’t bother to fix the basket on all other Leopards until 2-3 updates later…
