Lets talk about the state of Germany

@luque13

CR2 has spall liners for the side of the turret and the top of the turret no hull protection. It also has some of the lowest turret armour from the sides and is easily penetrated by small darts.

The CR2 literally has a spall liner in the front of the hull lad. someone with the multitude of games in them such as you should know what it has in it.

It has a spall liner on the frontal arc of the hull, when as far as ive seen ti should be around the sides too.

@luque13

Leopard 2A5/6 has a massive increase in turret armour when shot from the side. So much so if we do a comparison the Leopard 2A5 (and above) side turret profile is immune to the 2S38 dar

It is infact not immune to the 2s38 dart, and seeing as youve never actively used a 2a5 or 2a6 I find it abbhorent you come here to tell these folks how they work.

Seeing as Ive got them and the CR2s , I will tell you the 2a5 and 6 are better than CR2s, but spouting stuff like this is just false. You can one tap a leopard 2a5 or 2a6 with 3bm25 from a T55AM1 if you actually know how to aim,

Second of all, the 2S38 absolutely annhilates leopard 2’s bar the 2a7 due to the increased protection.

Lastly for this point, the 2a5 and 2a6 have their ammunition bustle in the back of the turret-
which for a 2s38 is a one tap. heres both the shot and the whole green tank side.

so no, “side turret profile is immune to the 2S38 dart” this is infact just false. completely.

Which by the way you said yourself not an hour ago the projection maps aren’t reliable. the 2s38 can and does scythe through the 2a5, 2a6 and 2PL turret sides.

@luque13

The CR2 is not which makes the spall liner a moot point as anything at that BR will penetrate you.

Also not true. CR2 turret is about the only thing that isn’t horrifyingly bad.

@luque13

CR2 has spall liners for the side of the turret and the top

Also has them for the front of the turret.
How can you deny that its literally there in photos above and clearly visable in Xrays.

Look I have my own opinions on Germany, as @dotSHINI will tell you that I have some opinions on the tree.
However, you cannot just bounce into a thread for them to chat about the tree and such, and start firing out completely false facts and information on the CR2’s as a comparisson. We are all aware that the CR2’s are plagued with issues.
That doesn’t mean the leopards aren’t, or the abrams, or the T series tanks.
etc etc, all of these tanks have lists of bug reports for them
And truth be told until germany got the EF2000 they really, really fell short for a good choice of CAS, even britain had the gripen which while not perfect was potent af.

[luque13]

I was mistaken about the spall liner in front of the tank. It certainly seems like there isn’t one
The turret one looks more like the extension of the roof liner meeting the turret cheeks and not situated behind the mantlet and the turret cheeks.

Shooting ammo in the 2A5/6 doesn’t kill it though they just retreat and repair if they are hull down it’s a nothing shot. Side armour the Leopard can protect it’s breach the CR2 cant.

This discussion could go on in perpetuity i’m going to bow out :)

[ShOt_MaCkEr]

That’s because you’ve lost the argument

[luque13]

There wasn’t an argument we both agree CR2 is bad

[Panther2995]

Its not as bad as you claimed to be.

Sure it has its own downsize but they are actually rather enjoyable and solid tanks, they are just not on Leopar2A7V/Strv122 level thats all.

[luque13]

They are a palate cleanser. They are slow and meticulous a completely different play style to a Leopard 2. A fun novelty.

[UnHolySausage]

I like more muh type 10 aggresive gameplay

They are not that slow, especially First Chally2,Black Knight and 2E.

I do as well but i also enjoy Challenger’s playstyle.

Maybe not slow in terms of top speed but very chonky and annoying to manouver.

[luque13]

Thats the issue in a straight line they are fine moving to a ridge to fire and is so unbearable slow.
And yes turning gaijin needs to model modern tank steering and torque.

[An_Pigeon]

They are pretty bad tbh man.

Luque claimed they were absolutely useless which isnt true.

But they are not excellent tanks, id verge on saying they arent even solid, but ill reserve that statement until i get the leclercs and merkavas.

[An_Pigeon]

They lose too much speed turning and are far heavier than other tanks for recovering said speed.

59kmph is fast enough but in the straight line regard.

[BACKRAGE44428-live]

I will say dm13 shatters a lot on the 105mm on tanks like 1a5 a1a1

[An_Pigeon]

Leopard 2k is a phenomenal tank even for 10.0

[An_Pigeon]

Dm13 on 105?

Dm13 on the leopard 1a1 is potent af man

[BACKRAGE44428-live]

i shot Xm803 in the side well before he could react shell shattered i died

[An_Pigeon]

I mean that’s vague, as well volumetric has a huge part to play.

Seen an xm800 eat an L15A3 earlier

[BACKRAGE44428-live]

yeah well should not be voulmetricing on 15mms of armor

[Shay]

I’m talking about 120mm DM13, not 105mm.
