Italy and Sweden mains are getting cocky in the last updates (since they are getting new shiny things), the fun part is the fact that they wouldn’t have got these things if Rheinmetall (a German company) had never built the tanks for them or signed contracts to build the chassis and guns for thier tanks

One thing I noticed was that the gaijin supplied a full liner for all 122s, but the German cars (A5, A6, PSO) only had the turret lined, which made quite a few unlined national players unhappy with Germany

Why unhappy with Germany? Why not Sweden?
I don’t know, so I’m confused.
The 2A5 and 2A6 didn’t have hull spall liners irl.

Does the 2A6EX or DEMO-II have liners?
Probably ,yes. I read some, but can’t tell about sides of wanne
Yes, it’s based on the TVM max, which had spall liners in both the turret and hull.

MLA never had spo15. MLD was the first one to get it. At least it can detect j band now tho.
Any reason why it was decided to not equip the hull with spall liners on the 2A5 and 2A6?
Budget reasons I guess. The KWS 2 was already quite expensive because it required the turrets to be completely remodelled as well as significant modifications to the hull. The Leopard 2 would be used in a defensive position so a hull spall liner was likely not seen as 100% necessary.
The “Mannheimer Konfiguration” was decided by Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland and even the beak armour was cut because of weight issues.
That was for .14 already, we’re at .19.
It’s meaningless
the EX probably have the spall liner, at least the 2E does.
Yes they did but only in the turret.
PSO should have hull as well also
That’s why I said “hull” spall liners :D
What is blud on about, we got one new Leopard this update. The other three were moved up from rank 6. It is my personal suggestion you spend more than 60 seconds thinking about it. And btw America has more Abrams than we do Leopards.

That’s because you got Leo2A5 (1995) the exact same patch the US got M1A1 (1985) and then got the Leo2A6 (2001) shortly after the US got M1A2 (1993)
The US only get a tank newer than the one you’ve had for 5 years JUST NOW. (And they still gave it the 1985 armor.)
TL;DR: You’ve not had many tanks added because they added your near BEST when they were giving everyone else the 80s tanks.
It would be like the US having M1A2 SEP when you get your Leopard 2A4 CTech… and then the US mains whining about how they’re not received any new tanks in years…
I do not understand why you are crying so much about Germany. If you are so concerned about our tanks being ‘superior’ then go complain to sweden, because they’ve had superior versions of our tanks forever. And year of service means almost nothing at top tier. What matters is capability. It is why for the longest time we’ve had 90’s MBTS fighting T-72’s/80’s from the 2010’s
