Better wait until its final. With Bundeswehr camo. All wanted features and Y- ***** license plates indicating its an active Bundeswehr vehicle.

Like a Transformers toy Leo. But I guess form follows function.

Better you then CaiD.

But generaly most of us suspect it still being a pre series, with better engine, öws etc being installed later on

Überdies legt Norwegen größeren Wert auf Gewichtsreduktion, weshalb im Gegensatz zur Bundeswehr auf schwere Kettenblenden verzichtet wurde und ein Unterboden-Minenschutz zwar grundsätzlich möglich aber noch nicht montiert ist. Während der deutsche 2 A8 gemäß D-LBO basic ausgestattet wurde, verfügt sein norwegischer Gegenpart über entsprechende nationale Funktechnik und Battle Management Systeme.

This part is quite unreliable as in sight, Norwegian version has longer armoured side skirt than Germans.

🤷
Until proven otherwise its what we working with.
U dont know how effective or heavy the plates are

Germany’s Leopard 2A8 will be equipped with a domestic laser warning system instead of an Israeli one.

Hi, internet explorer

Done;

I am bad at titles

add it next update, it fits in the game
we already have the challengers. So why not

We should be getting T90M2 next year too. So it’ll be nice to see both of them released

Sep v3 brings a whole lot more than just trophy.

Like?

LWS, more armor, DU armor, m829a4, better sights, APU, enhanced tracking, thicker armor plating for the turret, APS, and laser designation for friendly air craft.

?

A8 also gets LWS, improved armor packs, thicker roof armor, APS, APU (nothing new), new ammo, its said an active drone defense (not specified). At least thats what they said on the rollout event. The one you saw is not final, some things are missing.

From what ive found there is no APU, it was prototyped but never produced on the leopard.


-Sep v3 Drone defense

Not to mention the same garbage leo 2a4 hull, unless they changed ammo layout which i doubt.

I see two images of the 2A8 one with a better commander optic and one with the older one, but its nice to see them try to get with the times regarding vehicle awareness.

image - older optic

These are two different tanks, latter one no A8.

And whats an APU for you? In my world its an auxiliary power unit. Most tanks have this. That M1 pic loosk more like a wild prototype, rather than anything close to a service unit.
