hey guys im thinking of buying one tank and grind the german ground tech tree from rank 5 to top tier which leopard should i buy? I bought the F18c Swiss so consider this too just need a advice from a german main thanks.
2A4M for sure, I have it and it’s really good, grinded it to Puma VJTF and Leopard 2A5.
Personally it looks really good, it has good survivability, 580mm of pen, fast and more…
tip: bring 16 ammo
should i wait till to the next sales then? or just buy the 2a4
Pzbtl 123, without a question.
2A4M is worse, relative to its BR, by large margin; as well as being inferior to Clickbait and the premium T-80.
On top of that, Pzbtl 123 can easily form a 10.7 lineup, whereas 2A4M has only the Senrai Maidens variant to go with at 12.0.
Well you have F/A-18C which is 12.3 in GRB, buying 12.0 tank would be more practical then 10.7 tank, so I suggest for waiting
ik those are the problems so im considering to grind to top tier but im grinding the russia at the same time im soo confused rn i got the time tho i can buy in 4 days still i wanna hear some more opinions about this but thanks maybe i ll go with the pzbtl
ultimately, what you want to get is entirely up to you. Im just sharing my experience with them, as I have both Pzbtl 123 and 2A4M.
The good:
- without mine protection and slat, 2A4M is second lightest Leopard 2 in the game, beaten only by standard 2A4
- this also means 2A4M is the second fastest Leopard 2 in game
- 2nd gen gunner thermal
- strip of MEXAS addon armor on upper part of UFP
The bad:
- Combination of K-EW and Leo 2 reload time. You dont pen that much more than your competitors, and you dont get the 5 sec aced reload. Clickbait sits at same BR with 5 sec aced reload and M829A2.
- the addon MEXAS effectively does nothing since it lacks beak
- 2A4 internal armor scheme, no D-tech composites
- sits within the BR spread of the LDIRCM/Kh-38MT “fun” zone
You have no lineup at 12.0 beside the other premium 2A4M, and you have ZERO reason to bring 2A4M to the 12.3/12.7 as there are several better Leo 2 variants. Even its niche - 2nd gen thermals - gets filled by free to obtain Leopard 2PL with better shell. Moreso with the recent autoloader buffs, not only you have to go weakspots on extremely well armored tanks, you wont even outreload your opponent.
Compare that to Pzbtl123 which can field full 10.7/10.3 lineup of several very strong vehicles, and this lineup gets only stronger if you have Vilkas and Boxer MGS. And doesnt have to deal with the LDIRCM stuff nor get blasted by Kh-38MTs.
Consider 2A4M only if it ever drops to 11.7(not happening, too good when compared to 11.7 tanks) or gets DM53 and gets shoved to the 12.3.
I have both tanks The two version of The 2a4m (+ The f18c swiss) and the Christian2 (which is The exact same as panzer btl123 but with less smokes).
For my experience, id go for 10.7 whose sitting at a better overall match making considering 12.0 12.7 is horrible rn.
Both will be outdated soon when rank IX tanks hit the servers.
