Leopard 2A8

Understandable

It’s basically a 2A7V with a better shell and a hardkill APS.
I don’t see it as “13.0+ BR” material. You could put it at 11.7 with DM63 and it’d be basically the same as facing a 2A7V 99% of the time.

A hardkill APS is a gimmick considering how few IFV ATGMs there are at top tier, how few APS charges you have, and how prevalent airplane CAS with large AGMs/laser bombs/rockets is over helicopters with ATGMs.

Germany and Sweden is doing crazy nowadays and you want more? 💀

Fortunately for any non-German or Sweden player, I would vote against it if we don’t see any decent counterpart in any other major size nation in-game (USA, USSR or GB) in a future that this version could be added in game.

I think this is still a pre-series tank. The APS is missing.

If all goes according to plan we could see the first Italian pre-series production Leopard 2A8 in 2026.
In reality, not in the game.

We are in the study phase, it has not yet been decided which engine it will adopt.
