Leopard 2A8

im not even gonna be suprise if they put a 20mm cannon that has a “drone detection” feature and firing proxi on the tank along side with an autoloader that is copy from the Type 10 with armor from the Leopard but has good hull armor and weights 51 tons full load and has a top speed of 72kph and -46kph
and they spend 80 billions on it

I meant with their ground stuff, I’m still holding out hope that the air stuff the US has been making recently isn’t poisoned by corruption or whatever BS kept causing issues through the 90s to mid-2010s in the army (not saying I support what the US was doing in that time frame, though).

The likely addition of canards on the NGAD has me confused, though. I would assume that canards aren’t good for stealth but from what I could tell they seem flush with the fuselage, so they might have flexible control surfaces down fully.

just fix armor of 27V first before A8 would be great if I want a complete tank not unfinish one.

will be funny how they wanna adress the dilema of sweden buying 2a8s and its turning out the 2a7v in fact is better armored or at least equal

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.
