by the way, isn’t that a terrible place to put it?
what if you have multiple tanks engaging together and one from slightly behind shoots, wouldn’t that trigger the APS?
idk why did he got that the 2A7A1 now gonna be designated as 2A8 its fake
Well, maybe that one picture is a Photoshop, but these two are definitely real.
I’ll say it. I think it looks better with the trophy system on. It breaks up the turret shape, and gives a more “blocky” aesthetic. The flat turret face of Leopard 2a4 was peak honestly, and this reminds me of it for some reason. Don’t kill me please.
Too fast maybe it won’t trigger
I mean that is the point of APS. But it measures the doppler, so it can destinguish to some point if things go at you or rather go next to you
because that specific picture was photoshoped before it was a thing, as i corrected earlier
pictures are the prototype VT-ETB II , the 2a7a1 as you said doesnt realy exist yet, but 2a7V are supposed to be converted to the 2a7a1 even now, while simutanously getting the 2a8
german military are more indecise than my grandma tbh
oh yes

The 2A8 demonstrator is actually not the VT-ETB II. It’s based on danish 2A7, while the VT-ETB II is basically a 2A7V with Trophy. (Please don’t tell the swedish mains, they will claim it :p)

the 2a8 demonstrator isnt a real thing yet either is it? as far as i am aware it only is a show and tell currently as well, the compelte specifications arent compeltly done yet right ?
Besides that someone mentioned that Eurothrophy will integrate LWS for the leopards as well you know if that ones right?
More like 15:00 gmt
the 2A8 is supossed to be getting a hull rework to accomodate the “new” engine found on the PSO btw the 1630HP one
I wasn’t really expecting one today as Thursdays are the golden day it seems now
jup i am aware, gotta carry the few more tons somehow
The demonstrator is just a demonstrator. The final 2A8 will probably look very similar as it’s supposed to start delivery in just about a year but some things might still change.
