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.
Leopard 2A8 has been built it’s just not this one.
Leopard 2A8 has lws beside the aps radars:
Also it has been some time since Germany put already DM73 in service with their leopard 2A7V’s
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.
Oh, for sure, that gigantic “lower” frontal plate inviting anything to shoot at.
I think this is still a pre-series tank. The APS is missing.
Italian Leo 2A8 when
Italian one sucks they decided to instead use the 1500 hp engine instead of the 1630 hp
Still much better then Ariete trash.
İtalian mains should be thankful that they will get both Hungary and domestic versions, not gonna even talk about Gripen as Well.
Made me remember hungary Will get a KF51 with an autoloaded 120 mm probably with DM63
Germany will most likely get 130mm version which will be Better Anyway.
İm still pissed about Gripen incident tho especially Sweden didnt get C versions while other nations did.
Ariete C3 when gaijin :(
No Ariete for you but here take Leopard comrade.
Yeah altough Germany didnt Buy the 130 mm versión they Will still get it, altough idk if gaijin might ads it with drones or without or with drones modification
Doesnt matter for me, as long as Germany gets 130MM version.
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.
man leopard 2AX/3 prototype its gonna be shown next year
Maybe well get it if we get more modern aircraft such as the Su-57 and the F35
I’d probably be in the USAF by that time 😂
