well, that sad
This is the saddest part:
See where the external composite screens meet?
Yea, that’s where the cheek armor actually stops.
The Xray model extends much further.
This is because the 2A7V model has a noticeably different turret geometry to all the other Leos and they just copied the Xray blocks over.
One of the two models is horribly wrong, we just have to find out which one :)

Lol?
The hull spall liners on the Leo don’t work anymore.
Turret works normally as do the side ones on the T-90M

is there any news on the hull spall liner for the 2A7V because atm it does not cover the ammo rack or the driver which seems a little weird

Those are most likely correct. I’ve checked out each and every photo I have from the 2A7Vs driver position, and I couldn’t spot the liners anywhere on the front.
I’m assuming it is because they do not expect the 2A7V to even be penetrated frontally in real life… well, this is not real life, and Gaijin of course has a different set of plans for it.

good to know and i hope we get liners for the older Leos too
did they removed them or do they lost there function or what is that ?
They already got spall liner 2a5&2a6 kust only have them in the turret
Well it’s a random armor hole as you just stated.
It’s reported.

Half of my deaths seem to be from this one particular spot…
There is multiple holes on both sides of the turret
beautiful.
The mantlet/inner cheek area in general is just incredibly weak because the inner cheek composite blocks have trash modifiers, and the mantlst itself has even trashier modifiers as part of gaijins fantastic manufactured weakpoint policy for NATO vehicles.
The leo’s also suffer from a really odd phenomenon where when 2 plates or different armors meet, instead of being a strongpoint due to volumetric shenanigans, it tends to form an armor hole, courtesy of gaijin’s wonderful modelling errors, or if you are a bit more cynical and jaded following years of gaijins shenanigans with NATO vehicles, intentional mismodelling.
I also noticed the weak turret armor. Now I know why. Right now the A6 is still the best Leopard 2. Hope the non functional spall liners and the armor holes get fixed. RIght now side hits spall as if its one of the older Leopards, no difference. All this additional armor weight at the cost of reduced mobility …and exactly for no benefit.
Gun breech still spalling as well. Often it KO’s all three turret crew.
what was the logic behind making the leo2a7’s armor values significantly lower than the strv’s? Havent touched germany in like a year because of this bs. Hull armor is like 100 mm less effective and the turret is also weaker. Its like the a7 we have is using leo2a4 b tech armor…
