Come on now where is the spirit of debate? Eh it was fun for me did a little bit more research for myself.
Just because I’m trying to be accurate ?

So it is more likely we will see Leopard modernisation based on Leopard 2T1 rather than BMC’s Altay-esque design ?

I can’t say this officially, but here’s the logical way you might do the math:
BMC has showcased a hybrid tank design using the Altay turret mounted on a Leopard 2 hull, along with the original Leopard gun. The other modernization model simply retains the full Leopard hull and turret, and upgrades them with additional armor, new optics, fire control systems, etc. (You can revisit my photo for reference.)
The BMC modernization offers extra protection on top of the turret because it uses the Altay turret. In contrast, the other modernization package uses a modular armor kit, which is significantly cheaper and provides protection close to the level of the Altay turret—especially in terms of chemical protection, which is a priority for the Turkish Armed Forces.
So, adding APS (Active Protection Systems) and ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) kits results in less weight, lower cost, and a faster upgrade process compared to using the full Altay turret.
This information hasn’t been officially disclosed because it’s not yet ready for public release, but this is likely the reason behind CEO’s approach.( If BMC wins this project, they will have to divide their Altay serial production capacity to support both the standard Altay and the Leo-Altay upgrade. However, our command likely prioritizes getting the Altay into service over a hybrid Leo-Altay solution.)
We’ll find out publicly in due time, and this isn’t the end of the competition until an official decision is announced. You should understand that what I’m sharing is logical speculation under simple question and its response—not officially confirmed information.

Logical approach to our procurement process fall flat mostly mate.
ROKETSAN’s and ASELESAN’s involvement is already official and we do know ROKETSAN & ASELSAN were awarded with 2A4 modernisation. BMC also signed contract way earlier than ROKETSAN this puzzled me but it seems BMC’s contract is no longer in effect.
This package is perfect as it is.

If I’m not mistaken this will be the only Leo in the game with APS right ?

Correct, Leopard 2A7HU’s late variant also has it IRL but not in game, 2A7A1 and 2A8 also has APS.
