Very interesting,Since Gaijin couldn’t mess with the Leopard 2’s basket, they resorted to shady tactics with the vertical system.
Classifying an entire breech armor block as part of the vertical aim system，They could have just openly stated 'We're nerfing the Leopard 2' instead of these shady methods. - do their T-80/T-90 crews manually heave their gun barrels then?

Don’t scapegoat M1s and Leopards for RU’s win rate drop caused by introducing the premium T-80UE1 - especially when the entire Leopard 2 series (A4/A5/A6) already struggles with mid-tier performance. These unjustified nerfs are literally kneecapping NATO MBTs while pretending Russian crews operate tanks with telekinetic barrel control
Considering those tanks and the stupidly OP MBT and XM1 and XM803 tanks are superior to anything Russia has at that BR, no. Their speed and gun handling make them the most annoying things to fight…
And considering those trunions actually blocks spalling, I don’t see why you’re complaining… This ‘nerf’ is actually more of an advantage…
I won’t deny the Leopard 2A7 and Strv 122 series dominate top-tier matches, but labeling the A5/A6/PSO variants as ‘top-tier threats’ is pure fantasy. These Leopards with paper-thin survivability can’t even function in urban combat - you might as well deploy glass-cannon wheeled TDs instead. Gaijin’s lazy blanket balancing (treating all Leopard 2s as equals)
Because it can now be damaged and rendered inoperable, imagine facing autocannons. Before the changes, it was just armor, but now it can be destroyed in 1-2 shots (I don’t know its module health).
