I don’t like the 1a5, I think it’s just a one trick phony, peaking and shooting from an hill is the only thing it’s good at
Leo 1A5 plays like a slightly slower TAM 2IP at 9.3. Just dont get hit and you’re fine since you can pen most things you see
A1A1 does get stock sabot instead of stock HEAT, which is just way better
Eh, i compare it to other 9.3 tanks with tje same gimmick and the mobility is a huge factor. Being able to reverse at a decent speed essentially makes the 1A5 one of the few effective hill peakers lol. I agree its not a great gameplay loop but it is what it is. Some tanks have pretty meh strengths and gimmicks. Though the A1A1 shouod never have left 8.7 for 9.0, that is just a dumb change imo and now its ruined one of my favorite german lineups at 8.7, id like to see the A1A1 move down to 8.7
True but spaded performance is a bigger factor imo. I can work with heat until i get sabot
indeed the reverse speed is awesome on the leopard, its one of the things that makes me at least feel usefull on some situations , but since you depend on long range maps for you to be effective i can understand why the hate on the 1A5, specialy that the german one doesn’t get the lws while the italian does aswell as your fighint much better armored vehicles such as the 72’s and 80’s.
And I agree with the idea of the A1A1 moving down to 8.7 , it is awfull at 9.0 , I gave up on the A1 right after I got the A5 only using it till i got more vehicles to complete my lineup
