There is no shortage of Leopards possible for Germany, nobody disputed that. But other nations are more directly in need of new MBTs than Germany currently is. So again, whilst new Leopard variants are a future possibility for Germany, they shouldn’t be expected soon. Regardless of if they are 2A6 or 2A7 based.

Its just annoying for the german community that sweden has the better overall leopard line up.
When we definitly could fill that.
Germany just doesnt seem to show its leopard speciality, compared to where everywhere else the leopards are.
Germanys most unique leopard likely the the 2 pso right now with the rcws. But directly after the strv 122b+ got added with even better armor again. Cause gajin didnt wanna add the beak part of the PSO.

I think it just comes down to the fact that it would take just a little more effort to take the export variant of these Leopards and put them in the German tree. It would be nice to have a lineup more comparable to what Sweden has, where they have access to 3 up-armored Leopard 2s alongside a copy of one of Germany’s top Leopards (the Finnish 2A6).
The 2A7+ and 2A6EX would be nearly identical to the 2A7HU and 2A6HEL that get added to their respective trees. It’s just that the German variants may require some retexturing, new skins, and a new place in the TT (as far as I’m aware).
Although I could see myself oversimplifying the process, so if this is inaccurate, let me know.

The past few years US, UK and USSR have consistently received more and more top tier rank 8 aircraft. They have a massive pool of vehicles to add, they deserve to get them and they do receive them.
However, why doesn’t this logic also apply to ground vehicles? There are a plethora of high tier/top tier ground vehicles left to add for US, Germany, USSR, France, China, etc… and yet barely any of them get added compared to the air trees.

Its not so much about how difficult a vehicle may be to make or not. Naturally any new Leopard 2A5/6/7 is likely going to be a variant of or modification to an existing one.
Its more a case of, again, other nations being more in need than Germany currently is for a new MBT. Germany is not struggling or in any poor position balance wise currently in terms of MBT performance at top tier. Far from that.

Btw @Smin1080p_WT with the plans of a cyprus/greece addition to Israel soon, and a tier 1-3 passed to devs proposal for Israel, is there any chances we could be expecting low rank israel “soon”?
For quite some time aircraft technology was far behind that of ground. So the past couple have been about bringing aircraft up to speed to a position that ground was too. Naturally more ground expansion will come too.

It was not said that Greece / Cyprus would be soon. Its planned. Like Korea, that doesnt mean it should be expected soon.
oh well, i guess its just a plan then, again; is there any plans to give Israel low ranks? or devs havent considered it
Nothing to speak of currently, otherwise we would have done so in the CM update.

Nobody claimed that.
We are just annoyed of the state compared to sweden.
Arguably sweden ddint need the strv122b+ either since they were already dominating but still got them and with that the biggest armored leopard reserve
Balance wise germanys problem likely are acces of fnf for the eurofighter.
Rebalance of the Eurocopter UHT / New heli variant with capability of the newer additions.
Still just an annoyance with sweden

also, It would be very dissappointing if it didnt arrive in 2025, since it was said that in 2025 minor nations would be getting expansions to fill in the gaps, which Israel is the one in most need, given its the least played and least appealing nation for the community

Unique prop pls
we all know itll be a map or boat
It was never said this sub tree was planned for 2025. The answer you are reffering to was referring to the many sub trees already added and planned this year.
Greece / Cyprus was a longer term plan that we have only just announced.

It was never stated that they did. I was providing the context as to why more high rank Leopards wont be coming soon.
3 nations have the Eurofighter, not just Germany.
israel wouyld be a lot more interesting if their stuff actually got fixed
We aren’t asking for the next generation of mbts (KF-51, Abrams-X, T14, etc…). We are asking for current generation vehicles like boxers, leopard 2s, EBRCs, Terminators, etc…
Numbers wise, aircraft has already far exceeded ground vehicles. Some nations only have 1-2 sub-variants of aircraft left before 5th generation fighters and there is literally nothing after that. At the same time, there are dozens of current generation ground vehicles missing.
I would argue we already reached a technological balance between ground and air.
