LEOPARD 2A8 Gun depression nerf

So they are actually nerfing the gun depression but prove me wrong here please

-7.4 is BS and I can prove that the 2A8 has -9 by using a simple photo of it irl

image
The above image is what I will use to prove it (as you can see the gun is at its lowest here in this image).

image
As you can see in the section of the tank I am using to prove my point the angle of the composite on the side of the turret must match the angle of the composite of the gun mantlet when the gun is at its 0 angle which we can observe in game and irl in all leopard tanks.

Using my above point in the caption if I use 1 reference line and measure the angle between that ref line and those 2 highlighted lines and take the difference, it should give me the actual angle of depression.

image
First reading gives me a value of 52.4 degress whith the horizontal which I have highlighted in the corner

image
2nd reading gives me 61.8 degrees whith the horizontal Which i have highted in the corner

So if we take the difference we get -9 degrees EXACTLY.

IDK what more there to prove

For additional information, the picture is taken of the demonstration video. The video is on YouTube, on the channel to Forsvaret with the name " Presentasjon av ny stridsvogn". Might be other interesting things in the video.

Hello

The change is a historical one that comes from a player made bug report that uses primary documentation to support the data: https://knds.com/media/KNDS_B_Ansicht_LEOPARD_2_A8_EN_056fd1a8ad.pdf

“Vertical elevation: –7.4º up to +17.4º”

Unfortunately pixel measurements and guesstimates based soley on pixel measurements wont be accepted as valid material to make corrections from.
