I checked all the other German Leopard 2s.
2A5 PSO and 2PL have it identical to the Strv 122 pictured.
Standard 2A5 is higher than 2A7V. 2A7V’s ring is closer to Strv 122’s ring height than 2A5’s ring height.
Which makes sense since 2A7V doesn’t have the floating turret like 2A5 and Strv 122s do, so using gun height makes it seem more off than it is… It’s still off of course.
The Finnish and German 2A6’s ring is also as high as the 2A7V’s ring.
Also lol it’s legit only the 2A5 and Strv 122s with the floating turret.
It’s funny how it’s correct on PSO, 2A6, 2A7V…
It still does, it’s not as pronounced as 2A5s but it’s still there:
All Leopard 2s (apart from 2A4s and their mods) have turrets that are floating, but one some it’s less visible.
The turret ring cannot be visible at all:
2A4s & 2PL have their turrets modelled properly/correctly, everything after them (as in, 2A5+), doesn’t.

Did a report abt this:

Seems like the model being inaccurate is what causes this.

İts quite amazing that they are still claiming it is not a bug.
Either they dont have eyes or they’re playing three monkeys at this rate.

The hell. I gave him a VALID reason why it’s wrong, but “i’ve been given an answer before”, so it magically just doesn’t matter at all? Tough luck buddy?
Oh and if anyone cares enough, here is the “answer”:
Which then leads to this report:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/YvurPytqYvOR
But none of those people understand that the issue is with the model itself, it’s wrong so the turret’s elevation is wrong - IT’S SIMPLE, BUT THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF COMPREHENDING IT, even after I told them explicity in the report that the model itself is what’s causing the problem in the first place.
I even underlined what is the issue. You’re telling me we can’t report model issues now, even when they’re super obvious? Like:
@vladuxa091 maybe you wanna come here and explain yourself, hmm? Oh wait right, he doesn’t use the forum, I wonder why…

well he seems to be a buddy of another person we all “Love”
I mean the pictures you post show the problem, if they decide to close there? eyes
they can just state it with some bs excuse ala “leopards are strong ingame bla bla”
and stop sending people through hoops trying to prove they are wrong…

The shit modelling job is just negligence but everything after that seems to be an effort to not increase the BR cap…

It doesn’t such whatsoever, it’s just not overpowered like it used to be for years xd

Iaw datasheet Vilkas has turning radius 7,5m with skid, but in game we have 17m turning radius.

time for a bug report
It wasnt overpowered either, it was a good vehicle,overpowered was the BMP2M when it came out at 8.3 and stayed at 9.0 for a while

With the excellent turret performance and being able to fire ATGMs on the move while being a lower BR than it was now it most certainly was OP and even in this gimped state it’s still an absolutely solid vehicle.
BMP-2M is also OP, but that’s a separate case from Type 89
stayed 8.7 for a while not 9.0
was fun fighting vs it in a maus … /s

Guys if you don´t mind. Check my game mechanic suggestion please!

turret performance?, its one of the ifv with the slowest turret, it could fire the missile on the move yes but the missile was good, what made it good was the insane damage of the autocannon since its a 35 mm, and the fire on the move was quickly removed

And what you are mentioning is post nerf… turret rotation used to be incredible on it.
Regardless, the vehicle is still incredible.
We are also off topic, so I concur.
Have you played it recently? Dude idk what it is but i slap so hard in that thing, i often forget it has missiles and just use the gun i love it

Can we push more for a rank 3 light tank for Germany? Feels like everyone is ignoring that issue despite it getting more serious with the m41 now at 6.7.
I know that US-players demand a mid tier anti air for ages and get nothing but nobody is talking about this giant gap. This could be filled with an easy c&p pt-76b. This east german vehicle would actually fill that gap and thus would be more accepted.
