I highly doubt that in this case, they will give us another 1 2a8
Then i recommend creating a report for it when that happens and can be confirmed. As far as i know they do not implement or add things based on orders and only add when things have been delivered and confirmed. (only exception i know is munitions as those are a balance tool)
I do not know, i do not have any contact with the developers and i do not have any influence over or insight into development.

Question, would a photo of an in service 2a8 (or a line of them) with both the machinegun and LWS be evidence enough?

If they are German and have Bundesvehr emblems, I think so.

I think they have German translators at hand. Otherwise there is the National community coordinator for Germany they could ask.
Well mabye all translators and the coordinator were on holiday when they denied the DM53 report based on faulty understanding of grammar on the reporter side.
I think the concern players have is will gaijin dev take the time to do so rather than outright deny a report.
I think there is a negative opinion of laziness, bias, and borderline hostility towards the player reports in certain circumstances.
Not saying any of this is true - though it has situationally felt like that is the case.

If it can be proven to come from a reliable source that you also link to then maybe. I know they are more careful with unsourced photos now since someone tried to fake them with AI for a plaque with missile information a while back.

But if he simply, let’s say, saw a 2A8 being transported on the street, and he took a photo of it, is that a reliable source?
You can always contact the Technical Moderators if you think a report has been incorrectly handled and ask for a second opinion/review. (though they might require the original reporter to do that? uncertain though.)
Click for generic info about contacting moderators
You can find all the teams and the areas they handle listed here: (Who is who and Reporting Procedure). If you don’t get an answer within a few days you can add more moderators from the list to the original message instead of sending a new message (that way you preserve the date of the message and it doesn’t look like a new request), adding one of the moderators to the message every 2-3 days or so until you get an answer.
Please do not to add the seniors until you have tried all other regular moderators, the Seniors likely won’t answer unless they are added and pinged by the regular moderators but if you’ve added all the regular moderators with no answer then you can add the seniors.
Would the Norwegian LWS be an option for the german 2A8 based on technical compatibility despite not being in service or on order that way just like DM53s on STRVs/Arietes, Kh38MTs on the Malaysian SU30 or LDIRCM on any AH64E despite the american one?

Oh great… thanks to that person lol. Would probably have to be some sort of file verification that photographers use when submitting files news reporting or publication agencies.
Probably too much to implement for gaijin at this time though.
Would be wonderful if they just did that for everyone instead of making more work for themselves
I mean it is confirmed the Leopard 2A8 is getting a Roof Mounted MG and that Info is from the Bundeswehr and the Rollout has also shown it with a MG mount on the Roof so…
Source:
Translation: In addition to its main gun, the Leopard 2 A8—much like its predecessors—will be equipped with two 7.62-millimeter caliber machine guns.)

Probably not. They’ll likely need a photo that comes from a reliable source, but i’m not in any way an authority in this area. I just mention things i’ve previously seen on the bug reporting site and discussed here on the forum so it’s best to ask the Technical Moderators for better answers.

So, besides the gun depression, any news about better dart or model fixes?
Reported a few more parts on the 2A8
(The Trophy Part is confusing since all Sensors have it with RHA and not Structural and ingame its now green just like the RHA parts)

From the Russian Dev stream, I understood that Bvvd has never heard of DM73, I heard of DM63 and even then he said that the increase in armor penetration is small, and if necessary they can introduce it

It in fact decreases Penetration since DM63 has lower Velocity than DM53 according to Rheinmetall. DM73 would ingame only provide with just 10mm of Increased Penetration due to it having higher velocity but the Downside Is that only L55A1 Guns can fire it.
DM63A1:
(DM53 is 1750m/s)
DM73:
