but the HU is their MBT actually or both could get it
the HU is the hungaries tank, not germanys.
A 2a7+ would be pretty much the same as a 2a7HU , but german
Additionaly the 2a7+ was actualy seen with the side on armor as well already
The Leopard 2A7HU is a variant made specifically for Hungary. Germany wont be producing this variant for their own Army.
They could get the Leopard 2A7+, which is functionally the same vehicle as the HU. That being said, tho i wont complain if germany gets the 2A7+, i dont think they really need it. Because the A7V basically covers the same niche, and though it lacks the 50 cal, it is (slightly) lighter, and is harder to overpressure from the turret roof.
Personally, i think if germany were to get another top teir Leopard, id rather they get the Leopard 2A8
Depends, like i showed earlier , their is the possibility for the 2a7+ with the additional side armor. And would strengthen the line up at least a bit more when everyone else gets access to leopards as well.
If we would get a second 2a7 variant i might be able to be convinced that sweden isnt the best german top tier line up anymore, which is the main goal
Thats gonna be quite a while. 2a8 isnt even shown of yet. The ones you saw are 2a7a1s or demonstrators.
The 2a8 might receive further changes like a new engine which will change the chassis as well.
Heck we might see it in 2 weeks, but gotta wait and see

I think for me, where i would appreciate the 2A7+ being added is if in doing so, they move the 2A5, 6 and maybe the PSO down in BR
i highly doubt it, i mean look at the poor arietes, how you supposed to explain their br if 2a5/6 are 11.3
If anything, they wanted to increase the ground br cap, so 2a7s might be raised even higher

Yeah. In the Arietes case, though it may be wishful thinking, im hoping their BRs get decompressed once they get a more full (and capable) top teir lineup.
Because after the 2a7HU, they can still add the Ariete AMV PT2 (and or 3), Ariete Hitfact Mk.II, and Centauro II.
But, Gaijin does love nerfing the arietes every other update so even if that does happen it definatly wont be anytime soon

welp…the 2A7HU might be the top dog for longer than we thought. There are rumors that the 2A8IT contract is getting terminated. Rheinmetall must be salivating

German mains rejoice?
That being said if italy decides to get a KF51 as well. I do fear gajin deciding to make the KF51 exclusive to italy/hungary since they are the legitimiate main users.
And not even bothering to give germany the prototype versions we know or are to be showcased like the KF51 on a leopard2a4 chassis

Gaijin about to make it a premium
This suggestion implemented soon ?
Leopard 2A7HU with APFSDS DM63, DM73 & KE2020Neo like Leopard 2A7V ?
Not in the game yet.
DM63 and DM73 yes
KE2020 NEO might be germany exclusiv for a while depends if its export restricted at the start
Gaijin add 2 APFSDS instead DM33 & DM53 and up to 12.3 or 12.7 BR this year ?
OK KE2020 NEO for Leopard 2A7V only
Dm63 same pen as DM53. It just doesnt explode anymore if hit.
Dm73 only gets slightly more pen as well ,its not a massive increase
Leopard 2A7HU up to 12.0 or 12.3 BR max
But I guess Leopard 2A7V from germany tech tree increase max BR at 12.7
DM53 for Leopard 2A4 ~ Leopard 2A6 series
DM63 for Leopard 2A7 series
That’s not what the article says. It’s just not happening with Leonardo. Maybe with another Italian company. Maybe Kmw does it themselfs. Maybe they just buy stuff of the German line. Kmw ceo said that they are still talking with the gouverment just not with Leonardo since they apperantly asked for to much.
