I assume it’s because the 123A variant shown in the video is brought to the Leo 2A7 standard while the 123B that hasn’t been shown is the 2A8 standard

489

That’s what I meant

490

I thought both would be the 2A8 standard?

491

I was also thinking that before but looking online, most mentions says the A variant is the 2A7 and the B is a 2A8
I’ll recheck just incase

492

I’ve personally seen nothing saying it would be 2a8 spec

493

See my previous reply:

494

Does the STRV 123A get C type armor? since it’s export

495

My swedish is none existent and deepl isn’t perfect but that’s just saying they are buying 2a8s and upgrading/modifying the older 122s not giving a actual spec

496

123A is for the swedish military and the hulls if I had to guess would be D tech tbh what means nothing for wt because they don’t believe the hulls can improve anymore

Yeah, they are buying 44 new 2A8 and upgrading the 66 tanks they already have to the same standard. at least from what i’ve seen it should be the same standard. There might be some differences, not sure.

Maybe but I think it’s much more likely to be a a7V/a7V+ spec imo

Watch the armor be 723mm KE just to spite you guys and bait another review nuke.

Turret basket, FCS, electronic equipment GO!

Sweden already have the best leopard btw…

504

Eh, I’d say it’s between the two 2A7s Sweden just has more armored Leos which brings them up in comparison

Though the 50 cal on the Hungarian model seems like an HE trap like the PSO

505

The only area they lack is firepower and for 3 Leopards that are more armoured it’s a great deal compared to the 1 of German (could be 2 if they finally fix the PSO) and then literally only 1 12.7 tank in Italy being the 2a7. I think it’s pretty clear who’s tree is better in the leopard department

Best leopard is relativ.
What you mean is the best leopard line up

507

I’m curious how many people actually brings multiple since i personally only bring 1 of them with me as i prefer having a mixed line-up for different strategies
