Oh, interesting! Then, rather than 670-430, it would be 750-430;
Which means that, rather than 520 KE, we should be looking at 600?
This makes me look forward to it a lot more!
That being said, seeing Gaijin make the 2020s 2A7s have worse protection than the early 2000s 122s for… some reason, makes me fear that they may do the same to this tank.
In general, they tend to always go for the lowest values of the lowest estimates possible.
Do you also know whether it should have 3rd or 1st gen thermals? I’ve seen people state both and I am not knowledgeable enough on this tank to know, hahah.
Of course! But as the performance fetishist that I am, I hope this tank is implemented in its full glory as a full-fledged 12.7, rather than underperforming, lacking or capped to be 12.3, hahah.
If it should have 600mm KE, spall liners and 3rd gen thermals… let it be that way, and it will be wonderful!
If it’s lacking any of those things, well… I am happy some will still look forward to it, maybe I will still use it to replace Type 90, but it would be a bit disappointing, hahah.
Spall liners are smth I’ve never been able to clarify on, only Singaporean 2SG has (semi-)confirmed Liners at least in the turret and 3rd Gen Thermals - AFAIK the 2RI still has original Themals.
That sucks. Only so much fuel one can carry within those dimensions, even if it is (rumoured to be) a dual pulse missile. I hear it also has thrust vectoring?
Now idk If the Armor on the Leopard 2RI is identical to what the 2A5 or 2A6 have (basically 2A7 levels) or if its the same as the 2A4 plating im unsure about that but its still kinda tanky on the hull. But From what i know that its not gonna be as effective as say the 2PL in a few areas, like the Commander sight isnt the PERI sight you find on more modern Leopard 2s (so no Thermals there or at least from the Pictures im seeing its the same as the Leopard 2A4 commander sight).
We gonna see how its gonna be implemented. Gonna be a decent Addition but i have a few doubts in a few areas like the hull armor or the turret protection.
Snail add new voice lines for nations pls I can’t stand listening to the incoherent screeching that is the swedish language when in a freaking danish vehicle
Please feel free to send me links to any reports and we can nudge them along.
All of the things you mentioned, with the exception of reload speeds (which have always been a soft balance mechanism that we have been clear about) are based on sources the devs have. As with all things, they are open to reports and consideration if more reliable material is located.
