Just because you apply the same strategy one the T-72M1 and M48 Super it doesn’t means that will apply to the Leopard 1A5,
When playing with it you should consider that you don’t have protection against nothing, literally nothing,
You have to use the mobility in advantage, something that it seems you don’t know about after 296 matches still a negative K/D.
Agreed. All leopards have 0 armor… sit back and snipe with em if you don’t
If another tank looks at you you will die, if you assume this position you should see an increase in your efficacy.
Thanks your input!
I admit that I am certainly not a skilled tank driver, and need much more training.
Will probably never be able to make it work out with the L1A5, as sniping is not (at all) my top kompetence. Maybe I should just be happy with tanks at rank III and VI :-)
hey casse, i’d suggest avoiding 9.3 as that BR is CONSTANT uptiers, maybe try a lower BR, and that might help
So 0.5 kd on other tanks is not terrible?)
So, someone comes for advice on the forums, and is immediately ridiculed and berated, how low we have fallen.
Yes have noticed that it mostly is uptier at 9.3 - thought only BR not uptier would be 11.7 ;-)
Where?
All I see is someone asking for lowering of BR of a vehicle they are doing poorly in.
9.3 gets sucked into the plethora of 10.0-3 premium tanks, so odds are more up tiers in that BR bracket.
Try to flank and not engage head-ons. The M48/T-72 and Leopard 1 tactics are different.
Wondering in my opinion means he is thinking about it. while his screen shot clearly shows that with the same amount of battles he has half te amount of kill compared to the other tanks.
His account indicates he started playing last year or at least joined the forum.
Not everyone is a tank ace, and makes mistakes or plays not to the vehicles strength.
this is an appropriate response:
Did you want any advice?
Thanks - have already received a lot of advise on this issue, have learnt something :-)
I joined the game more than 10 years ago, however with focus on aviation, just last 2 - 3 years I tried starting a career in tanks, with somewhat mixed success.
I don’t think the Leopard is particularly fragile. Against APHE maybe, but IS-7/Object 279 are rare and the APHE firing tanks like T-55s usually don’t main the APHE shell.
Armor does not matter at 9.3 anyway (unless you’re playing Russian tanks)
The Leopard 1a5 with APFSDS (DM33) and laser rangefinder is good, but in stock things never work very well from version 9.3 onwards, this applies to all tanks, even climbing 9.7 with Ozelot, he’s good, I played most of the matches with him like that, I believe that your K.D with the other vehicles is not good either, so it is not a problem with the Leopard 1a5, look at my K.D with them, (Not that I am very good, but at least I am reasonable, ) recently I have been playing a lot with this lineup to spade the 9.3, the M48 Super I have already finished and put the T72.
You gotta play the Leo1a5 stealthy.
Thanks your input. Struggle continues with Leopard 1A5. However it seems that the game has secretly at some time exchanged my faulty L1A5 (Monday model) with a more reliable Wednesday model. Now it is almost as good as the 2 other vehicles in my 9.3 setup :-)
Meanwhile in the real world:
All Leo1s are just a short autocannon burst away from death at any angle: Leo1, Leo A1A1, LeoA15.
Play like you’ve got no armour at all, because you pretty much don’t.
The Leopard 1A1 and 1A5 generally trade armor for mobility and firepower, which I much prefer over being something heavy. They remain effective even in uptiers, as you can penetrate most targets with ease. The best part, however, is being able to leave and re-enter cover quickly, allowing you to take down multiple enemies with minimal exposure time. Vehicles equipped with automatic cannons are the true counters to any Leopard, which is why I try to avoid using them on closed maps.
