Advanced Modular Armor Protection, and in this case the model that would have to be mounted is AMAP-B in this case the armor the 2A4CAN has is not derivated from the compaby IBD Deisenroth Engineering, but from KMW wich means this upgrade is not AMAP-B, it’s probable that this armor was meant to fit future models of some composite developed by KMW but not AMAP, AMAP looks like this

that ones wrong, their is no aesa radar in active service yet. Only a small one for export, but neither of the developers have their aeasa radar installed yet

You are right, i forget this aircraft has been around for 20 years!
It seems Britain have started to test the new Radar how many they will upgrade remains to be seen.
again not quite, they installed the first test radar, with preparations for the first maiden flight in the end of the year. Its by far not finished
Can i expect from this good level of protection ?
This depends on gaijn
Sounds like it will be bad. Ok fine.
The buget is allocated and the global uncertainty there would be no reason not too.
again, the radar isnt finished yet. Once it is finished it will be put into the typhoons, but in the timespan of such projects 1 year is nothing. It propably will need like 2 years until series typhoons will be equipped with actual aeasa radars
Now we know the only reason why Germany directly received the 2A7V (broken), skipping other variants such as the 2A6EX or the 2A7.
Italy had to receive the 2A7HU…
Meanwhile, in the land of mordor… we need some genuine love.
that’s not bad, what is bad is the fact the 2A7HU has a worse armor model somehow, wich means gaijin didnt even bother fixing it before adding it and instead made it worse
B-Tech internal composites + RPG-7 add-on protection. If they model it correctly, everything at 11.3 will be able to lolpen it :D
They should give it DM53 and put it at 11.0 with the correct armor. Then give 2A4 we have in game DM33 and either keep it at 10.3 or put it up to 10.7
DM53 would already make it op for 11.3 lets not even say 11.0 lol

If it had the correct protection it shouldn’t be a problem. Object 292 is 10.3 with base T80U levels of protection with 695mm of pen. (Yes I know it doesn’t have thermals).
Lmao even. Yeah it would totally be equal to the Mk.3 Merkavas and IPM1 at 11.0.
It currently has KE-W. With DM53 it would easily be fine at 11.3. With KE-W I could somewhat see the arguments for 11.0 to some extend.
MK.3 Merkavas can go down to 10.7 tbh. M1IP has a 5 second reload, better armor, and better mobility (same for M1A1). Again this is if the 2A4M CAN had its correct armor which I doubt it will.
what happens is that the snail intentionally breaks it, because Italy doesn’t have another MBT and 2A7V/HU is too advanced for the current meta.
Therefore, the snail’s solution was to give us a broken MBT (intentionally) only for Italy to receive its only MBT option (also broken), until 2A8.
In short, they screwed us to compensate for Italy’s superior level, since Germany had many real options, before the broken 2A7V they gave us.
Leopard 2A4M CAN doesn’t have a 10 second reload rate.
580mm pen with 6s reload > 700mm pen with 10s reload, or in other words: Only 20% more penetration for 66% worse reload rate.
M1A1 is a 11.0 MBT firing 600mm penetration APFSDS every 5 seconds.
Granted, the M1A1 is one of the strongest MBT’s relative to it’s BR in the game, but DM53 at 11.3 wouldn’t be that problematic depending on the other aspects of the vehicle. The Leopard 2 A7V would still be a significant upgrade over a 2A4M CAN /w DM53.
2A4MCAN with correct armor would have less armor then M1A1, worse reload, worse mobility, and a worse round (if it keeps KE-W).
Base 2A6 and 2A5 are both still pretty significant upgrades over 2A4M CAN with correct armor even with DM53. The only thing the 2A4M CAN might have that’s better is better gunner optics. (I can’t remember if it has gen 1,2 or 3)
