Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

I’ve seen a few call the Aussie Abrams C&P.

But it’s drowned out by those calling the 1A5BE C&P and claiming France is the worst-treated nation because they didn’t get Swiss “joint projects.” And how their sub-tree is the perfect German sub-tree because they used Leos or filled the need-light gap for Germany (which Germany can fill itself between all versions). It doesn’t matter; it gives Germany unlimited access to allied tech, as more of their stuff was to be used against Germany than these “BeNeLux-German joint projects” they think exist (it’s just turrets/guns Belgium put on everything)

As the main author of all currently open bug reports on the Leopard 1A5BE, with several more still in progress, I honestly struggle to see how this could be considered a copy-paste vehicle.

Visually, it already differs significantly from other Leopard 1A5 variants, which is hardly surprising given that the Belgian modernization program was entirely separate from the German 1A5 program and shared virtually no internal components with it.

More importantly, the vehicle’s ammunition selection has the potential to make it stand out even further. If the currently submitted bug reports are implemented, the 1A5BE would gain access to historically documented Belgian-developed ammunition, giving it a much more distinctive identity and gameplay profile compared to its German counterparts.

At the end of the day, it’s the “Leo = C&P” and other “Same Family = C&P” ideas that run rampant, despite how 9/10 times that’s wrong.

Same reason why so many people are quick to call tree suggestions C&P, as they’d just look at 1/3 of a name and call it there.

You don’t have to convince me…

We just hate the tree. I would trade all Benelux and get nothing in return, in fact I can give DF105 too.

Day 10 of asking gaijin to not split my country

Is a Leopard 2RI devblog planned too?

Would be a shame if Indonesia faded into the background too much just because most of their planned vehicles weren’t ready.

Fingers crossed for some Dev updates, Nuke Thunder fixes and maybe MiG 29K with no Lava engines!
