Very cool to see.
Sweden has enough domestic tank models. No need to get them all German tanks copypasted. They already have two A4 and one A6 model.
Why would you stack all Leopard odels in Sweden TT? Despite they don’t operate it and have enough own potential?
uhh not sure what the order of the leopard order has to do with war thunder implementation
It absolutely isnt. The swedish MOD signed the contract for modernising 66 122s to a new 123A standard and getting completely new 123B this year. Delivery times are supposed to be 2027-2030 for the modernisations and 2028-2031 for the new tanks.
when we can get any actual real information on it and not just guesstimations
Does it matter? We know enough about Trophy and the gun. NATO armor is complete Gaijin fiction anyway

should we introduce vehicles we know nothing about?
I mean we do know most relevant things. We know the gun, the ammo, the APS, the Powertrain. Everything we dont know is either not modeled in the game or its the armor which Gaijin doesnt care about anyway

where did you read that the german one doesn’t have a lws?
The picture clearly show that the LWS is missing.
But new imterviews confirm the LWS is just not mounted yet and is planned Leopard 2 A8 – Bundeswehr bereitet Bestellung von 75 zusätzlichen Kampfpanzern vor
@WereCat888 @H_ngma additionaly its confirmed that norway leos are lighter, while german ones are heavier armored on the side.
In that regard anyone aware what the D-LBO basic is?
Might mean other stuff like rcws is just not mounted yet either

I understand, thanks
At the rollout event it was also said that:
-
Leopard 2A8 has better roof armor and better general armor. Any specifics aviable?
-
They said its able to automatically detect and counter drones. How? Is there a Trophy launcher on the top or wha? I can’t really imagine this.
it is possible that the upgraded Eurotrophy with its IR sensor package can detect drones coming in from afar. this does not rely on the EuroTrophy radars so it could be a possibility especially seeing as the german 2A8 does have the cutouts for the IR sensors.
keeping in mind that it seems that the 2A8 is not ready for service yet, pending some possible LWS, RCWS and other smaller changes, it is logical to surmise that the Eurotrophy is probably one of them.

Damn, seems the Leopard 2A8 is not really rolling out. Looks more like its a base version. Its also missing the advertised LWS. Obviously missing anti drone system. We still have to wait how the final service version might look like.

Yeah thats the tldr pretty much
That would be the final version.
As always, what company offers are not operators choose. It seems Bunderswehr don’t choose LWS and anti-done while Norwegian army choose LWS.
The article we shared literaly talks about how germany wants LWS but it isnt integrated yet, since we want a german solitution. And the anti drone feature etc
Did u even read the latest source?
I can’t see any source or document here
Turret looks goofy.
