Leopard 2A8

If all those RL Leopards would have the same armor values as our ingame War Thunder tanks, Swedes would actually downgrade their MBT fleet when they buy and introduce 2A8’s. Since German 2A7V and A8 would have worse armor values than the 30++ year old Strv’s ^^ Despite the new armor blocks are severely heavier and the tanks are slower… Something doesn’t add up.

Germany shouldn’t have gotten the 2A7, certainly not the 2A8.

I hate fighting Leopards, but in all honesty, they did need better thermals. Nothing like looking at a black and white Tetris game while you’re looking through your thermals

They didn’t need EVERY advantage though. Having the best armor, firepower, and mobility should come with atleast some drawbacks.

Not the case strv122s are better armord.
Keep your facts right. And leclerc, ariete and T10 are way mobile. Leo is middle of the field.
The leo is an allrounder. Good armor, best cannon yes. And good mobility

You are just salty like most of the time.
Gajin already did a lot to merf the leos like the turret basket and the backside fcs trash.

The problem at top aint even the leo. Its the KH38MT

If it just would be the backside. After the latest nerfs its almost like clockwise 3 to 9 sector is FCS blocked. Sometimes even sideshots are prevented by this FCS deadzone nonsense. If they continue this, Leopards might change into turretless casematte TDs.

Then Russia shouldn’t get T-90M

Then America shouldn’t get m1a2 sep series

The equivalent (going off of how Gaijin vastly underestimates US armor) is the SEPv3, which isn’t in the game yet.

I agree. That was a dumb addition too.

It’s a knockoff Leopard 1A4, kinda hard to say it’s as good as a 2A7V

What will be the trophy coverage? I don’t see launchers directed backwarda/side?

IIRC the launchers can rotate 360°

Like Puma MUSS can rotate the jammer irl, but won’t do this ingame :)

It absolutely does rotate, just not fast enough

Looks useless. Even more when I consider that there aren’t any suszeptible ATGMs on that BR bracket.

It wouldn’t that useless if Gaijin extended its detection range, at the moment it can only detect an atgm/agm coming at it from almost point blank, if it was several kilometers instead you’d get time to pop smokes against AGM/whatever.
There’s a report in but as usual with gaijin it will be implemented in a year if lucky, maybe never.
