It’s so fucking joever…

We have no reliable evidence that armor enhancements compared to the prototype submitted to the Swedish tender were ever carried out,

Old armor package tested in the swedish trials


New armor package - identical to whats found on the Strv 122.

Really “no reliable evidence”. Dont they know how what a modern Leopard 2 looks like? Why do they think they use the same armor as the TVM?

This is due to the fact that the Swedish versions of these tanks received their own, completely new, reinforced armor package of their own production, both in the hull and and on the turret

The same armor that the Leopard 2A5/6 later adopted? The TVM Mexas 3rd generation addon was never adopted.

so at this time we don’t believe that it’s possible to further enhance the protection of this tank

So they “believe” that Germany was incapable of replacing the hull armor with the same armor they used in the turret? That was developed in 1988?
Weird that we all have the statements that the internal armor was improved.

Leopard 2A7V presented in the game is based on the “B” package. However, according to the data we have, this is not the case

So the base armor without the addon provides the 600+ KE armor value that is known from D-tech? In game thats currently not reflected.

Really this is not even funny. Are they doing this on purpose?

“…As for the difference in protection between the Swedish versions of the Leopard 2 and the German Leopard 2A7V (the Swedish versions have more, which may seem illogical)…”

Gaijin: "Guys hear me out! Germany and US uses armor from the 80s up to this day (Source: Trust me)

love that bullshit excuse to make sure taking the swedish trails for a tank that is 20 years newer now
And pretend like nothing changed xD

Using protection analysis lool
and not showing vs what kind of ammo lmao dm53 from L44 at 900mm ? or the swdish sl… m95 from strv with 589 pen at 0 meters
then it looks the same if you don’t consider the vertical angle



if you use the angle it looks a lot different :D


could be wrong so if yes tell me :D and i just delete that post
sorry i have no idea how to make spoilers in the new shitty forum :-/

And yes they said 600mm so i had to test a bit and took dm53 from the L44 because it was exactly 600 and the sl…95 because it was close to it…

Armor issues must be fixed! GAIJIN’s actions were completely intentional!

Well you see, Swedish Metal from 25 years ago is better from a 5? years old tank composite.
Like, honestly, go by logic, if the Leopard 2i armor made by Sweden was that good, why Germany decided to develop the 2A7V? To have worse protection? lol

Do they even play thier own game? The only way they got 600mm pen flat at 0m distnace is via the CV90120, using that its still wrong tho.


like what is this bullshit?

you are aiming down at the UFP there buddy, of course it goes through

I think we players should unite together to boycott gaijin and stop palying, like we did last time.

im gonna main russia now

Thats the point? They claim that >35% of the tank is pennable from 600mm pen apfsds. In gaijians picture they show a completly wrong protection map, if that was 600mm pen it would show that you can pen the UFP which you cant according to this picture.

and you cannot pen it on level ground, they are correct.

according to your method you can pen the turret roof as well!!! (you can if you look from directly above)


Here im looking at it from a larger angle than what gaijian made, happy? Point still stands.
