Not sure I fully agree with this one since the M1, IPM1, 2A5 and 2A6 were also all stupidly OP/dominant when they released.
I mean since the 2A7 was added not since when Top Tier was added
What Germany, or overall NATO, needs also isn’t new MBTs but better SPAA/CAS. That is also why Russia dominates - Russias Tanks suck crap. Its their CAS/SPAA carrying hard.
Germany can get Leopard 2a7a1 too
Ik this is based from 2a6MA3 but atleast they can get MBT with APS

Or they can also get Leopard 2a8 Demonstrator
That’s not tho 2a7a1 that’s a insanely early demo
Pretty sure it’s not even ma3 pretty sure it’s like 2a6a2
Alr then, but hey the most important thing is atleast Germany can get MBT with Aps too
Do you even know what DM73 is? I think you are confusing it with DM83.
DM73 is DM63 with better propellant. So its insensitive and slightly higher penetration its not that much better then what we currently have
huh? DM73 is germanys main ammunition until DM83 goes into service, strictly speaking we dont use DM53 anymore
all 2 lack the crucial frontal armor add on.
To be fair 1 tank to germany wont shift the meta in that regard, it will just make germanys line up a bit more solid again. As it stands now its leoaprd line up is worse then sweden, which is a shame
ehhh, its quite a bit of armor
The Black Night, M1A2 trophy, T-90M arena and VT-4A1 are all worse than the flagship models of their respective nations as a tradeoff for getting APS, so why should Germany be different?
What’s the trade off off for arena or trophy on the sep V2? To me there’s no tradeoff for the APS system at all
It being on the T-90M, which is a mid tank, is the tradeoff.
I said flagship of their respective nation. Imo the BVM is still the flagship Russian top tier MBT.
It’s a SEPv2 without any of the advantages that the normal SEPv2 had over the SEPv3. So at best you can call the M1A2 trophy a sidegrade to the SEPv3, however there is a really solid argument to call it a downgrade to the SEPv3.
Again, the SEPv3 is now the flagship MBT of the US tree.
Plus china can get their ztz99 with APS idk what they call it
no LWS or rosy
It loses side relikt bags
Not really relevant but does the trophy model not use Lws or what
So again pretty much no downside. I get you
?
the trophy is the APS system
Small mistake.
doesn’t have it, idk why
