Leopard 2A7V / 2A7HU discussion & bugs

While Strv122 UFP can take it like 152 are nothing to it

It does though? We’re talking about basic geometrical accuracy of the model, whether it has all the finer details is irrelevant.

Yes.
Model kits (good quality brands anyways) are generally extremely accurate when it comes to those aspects, I’d bet more accurate than any video game models out there.

Yup this one.

Generally WT’s 2A6s model is up there with my 1:35 Tamiya model, apart from lacking finer details (and generally being of “lower resolution”). The basic geometrical accuracy of both is on par for the most part… 2A7Vs on the other hand… yea, that one’s wrong all over when I’m comparing it to schematics of a plastic model, turret ring being completely off-position, neck guard being way too small etc.

As it should be considering thats the main selling point of Add-on Armor on Leopard2 families, somehow 2A7V cant despite bein a new and better tank…

Keep in mind that Tamiya mold is 23 years old too.

And to be fair, War Thunder still has the best 3D models I’ve seen in any game centered around armoured vehicles, but there’s still a lot of errors that creep in.

Yes, and when comparing to the Tankograd books which have 2A6s (and 2A5s, since apart from the gun they’re identical) external schematics, i’d say it’s pretty much perfect.

Sure, i’d be able to forgive WT if these errors were non-importanct, but in this case those errors are the cause behind the enlargement, and in some cases, creation of weakpoints that are not present on older models (in case of the 2A7V).

the fact gaijin cant even fix the damage model of the challengers and have to redo them all over again says volumes on how bad the modeling has been in the past 5 years.

given how many new vehicles are launched each update i suspect they had to start outsourcing and the problems we see today are a cause of that.

another thing ive noticed is how old bugs that have been fixed in previous models reapear when a new model is launched because thay must have a model on file to copy paste and add new features before its launched.

Except that the gunners optics are way too large

The Fw 190 D model is a copy from 2010s Wings of Prey so yea

How to fix 2A7V
Wait for KMW and sweden to finish Strv123.
Done

I guess its important for Gajin to make the Leopard 2A7V mostly vulnerable to even 3bm42. So they decided for a new model with faulty armor values and lotsa armor holes. Making it worse than 30 year old STRV122’s.

gaijin gets a gold medal for the mental gymnastics they go through to justify a7 armor values

prof that gaijin cant even do ctrl C+ctrl V lol

I have made a report about missing armor at the side rear part of the hull of the Leopard 2A7V. If you don´t mind, I recommend to check it and “report” it

Love how the engine deck is still transparent.
They usually fix such things relatively quickly.
