Leopard 2 PSO Relocation — Official Confirmation and Research Grace Period?

the change that the PSO get changed to another line was in fact announced. You have 2 weeks, if you dont find time in those, sucks to be you

irrelevant, the german service version got added, and germany did in fact not order the leopard with an rcws…

and? its not enough in gajins mind. and you pointed out rheinmetalls documentation, read the bundeswehr documentation on the german 2a8 service variant,

still not installed in german variants, its in fact correct. inform yourself.

that ones wrong yes.

cause the PSO had a 50 cal installed, its a tech demonstrator

its an inservice version not a tech demonstrator.

i take it you were not aware of the spike buffs coming this patch and you being able to actualy aim at enemy modules as you want

Germany should have the LWS system, it’s just not ready yet. It should have MUSS 2.0 or ODAEON. Germany’s first Leopard 2A8s will arrive in early 2027, then we’ll see what they’ve delivered. The Germans should also have the same side screens as the PSO. This information is literally from the article about the Leopard 2A8 on the Bundesvehr page.

Yes.

Muss 2.0 /Odaeon are the same system just different parts of it.
Its just the lws parts of it, it is getting.
The LDRCIM dazzler is currently not confirmed.

Issue is just gajin cant model an lws system that has not yet been installed/shown.
As a result we dont have it yet, we might get it in the future, just like the abrams did recently.

That ones not the case, the heavy side skirts are not the ones from.the PSO. It just says physical armor getting increased not in which way.

On the contrary, Norway has abandoned massive blocks on the sides, and those that are on the 2A8no are not them, only the BLRT screens like the PSO or 2A7+ remain

No, the eurosatory is not a showcase of german plans on a 2a8

The official german tender is for the installation of the LDRCIM system on a 2a7V for testing with development for the future leo 3. They were just to lazy to put a 2a7V with the mock up next to it, they just placed it on their newest toy the 2a8 since it looks better,
But no official source, include the eurosatory broschures name any inentions or plans for this on a 2a8
I had this discussion more then once trust me, this are all sources supporting my statements

you are invitied to provide your sources, but germany does not plan nera side add ons like the PSO or the 2a7HU.

2a8NO has additional track storage on the sides and germany instead has so called heavy side skirts
