In a report by Hungarian media on June 22, 2026, the Hungarian Defense Forces showcased their Leopard 2A7HU with the new armor kit.This kit improves the tank’s urban combat performance without affecting its weight.Based on the status of the Leopard 2PSO and Strv122b+ in the game.This type of armor kit could easily be added as a new vehicle to the game to balance the level of the Italian army.
Literally just shown off and there’s already a suggestion for it.
What do you think about this? Do you think this vehicle will be added to the game?
They will add a completely new vehicle just like they did with Trophy Sepv2
But I rarely see discussions about this vehicle on the forum, and I don’t want such a cool main battle tank to be shelved.
Possibly. Bigger issue with the Italian tree is here lack of domestic 12.7s
Indeed, but Italy’s plan to purchase the Leopard 2A8 fell through because Leonardo wanted the Italian version of the Leopard 2 to use the same subsystems as the Ariete 2, and KNDS in Germany refused, saying it would compromise the Leopard 2’s standardization. So the talks just collapsed. But adding the Leopard 2A7HU-PSO is still a way to introduce a 12.7 vehicle into Italy’s tech tree.
