Cant wait for germany to complain as the norwegians bought the better ones

SCBD propellant properlly modelled mean the round can’t explode, or at the very least, have very little chance to explode when hit by ap or ce, while the pen will be the same we can carry more of it without worrying getting ammo rack’d in the hull

They haven’t. They brought the worse one lmao the lws was just and is in development still

well worse is relativ, cause of the climate and area they are used in they bought them with storage for snow chains, it is a reason why they got less armored skirts

how much you wanna bet that gaijin made the storage into actual composite skirts

I do hope we see a 2A8 for France eventually. Based on what Smin said, it isn’t in your plans just now, because a lot of people don’t want Leopards in the French TT, but I would argue there is a difference between adding the 2A5 and 2A6, largely unnecessary vehicles (and in the case of the 2A5, with no lineup), and the 2A8, which fills a major gap, as a proper top-of-the-tree MBT with much better armour and a hard-kill APS (something no Leclerc has).

This is my personal idea of how top-tier France could look, from this thread: Extended / Reworked French Ground Forces Tech Tree (including BeNeLux) (Rank IV–VIII)

But anyway, cool vehicle. Glad to see it being added.

DM63 may not be big of an upgrade or only bit more pen, but cmon give it DM63 for the funny, and give LWS for german one or im eating it

same. you should send one to devs as a suggestion moderator:)

Yes, because the 2A5, 2A6, and 2A8 are identical and all fill the exact same niche and place in the tree. (/s)

I can’t speak for anyone else but I personally would have been fine with just the 2A8 (and EMBT), and not the 2A5 / A6

Im just glad germany finally got second uparmored Leo2.

APS on top of it is nice bonus as well.

Ok nevermind the LWS issue with the 2a8
But germany unlocking laserrangefinder tier 4 and sweden tier 2 is …
