am i unamerican for liking leopard 2 over abrams
the leopard is just so A E S T H E T I C
*blushes*
>>33486935
American is the land of the free. If you can join ku klux klan or nation of islam, you can like Leo2
>>33486935
I personally like the Abrams more, but the Leopard 2 has it's own certain sexiness to it.
Personally, both are superior to the Merkava. Course I wouldn't mind seeing some APS on the Abrams.

By looks:
Leo 2 A5/A6>Abrams>Leo 2 A4/...
The turret just looks bad ass with the newly added armor.

Neat.
Leo-chan with her skirt off!
>>33487109
What's so special about the Leopard A5/A6 other than that it looks somewhat sleeker and what appears to be a larger turret?
>>33487149
OwO
>>33487161
Why are there water bottles taped to the antenna?
>>33487185
It is a cheap way of identification of indiviual tanks from one another as far as i have heard.
>>33486935
That isn't a 2A7, it lacks the new glacis armour.

thanks. makes sense.
Am I Japanese for liking dimsums over paella?
>>33487161
Additional turret front armor, L/55 gun instead of L/44.

The glacis armor isn't indicative of an A7, Swedish A5's have had it forever and German A7's don't.
>>33487149
holy shot anon, this is a blue board
>>33487185
>Why are there water bottles taped to the antenna?
They're staggered around the axis and all point down, they probably catch water too.
>>33487293
I hope it's just for the 01.04
This shit will be too unrealistic. I don't think reactive armor and the whole bunch of other high-tech weaponry and stuff can be simulated good enough. It looks lovely though.
>>33487057
the ku klux klan is american, niggers are not. Niggers have not contributed to or built a single thing in the US aside from crime.
German tanks ARE tanks.
We all know that.
>>33489386
>>33489386
huh, METIS class.
Don't see those too often in comparison to Kornets, HOTs, Milans and TOWs

Very neat indeed.
>>33487149
Leo2 with no up armor packs = less protected than a T-72B
>>33486935
>>33486951
Leo2A5++ = nearing top of the line protection.
>>33490371
Holy shit she is slow at loading, good Lord. If there was an example of why not to let women into tanks, here is a great one.

only for april fools unfortunately

Here we go, another faggot chanting
"A E S T H E T I C" like a school kid with their latest new word.
Honestly, you'll look back at yourself in a year or 2 and cringe.
>>33487269
The Mk 1 Eyeball can't pick up IFF, dumbass.
>>33490556
The sad thing is people actually believe that is true.
okay I see that everytime on modern tanks, why does the barrel rise after shooting? does it help with reloading?
>>33486935

Glorious
>>33486935
Nah m8, it's only natural. Leos are pretty tanks.
>>33490344
Reversing Leo 2s in formation has always been one of my favorite things in Steel Beasts.
>>33490915
yes
I like the look of the old Leopard 2. Looks like the old Tiger's grandbaby.
>>33490490
Well, maybe not as loader
>>33490634
Its still the most fucking fun I've had in that game in years. Apaches are great too.
>>33490556
This is such a dumb comment. Who built the entirety of the American west then?
>>33494520
Well, one can discuss about the word choice "all of the USA" but slavery was crucial in the pre-Civil War USA.
Over half of the export earnings were done by goods made by slaves for example.

However they made no tanks and fuck all weapons so please take your bullshit elsewhere.
>>33487174
T72 mockup for training?
>>33493582
This, it's literally a modern Tiger.
Anyone know about how many millimeters of RHA equivalent the Leopard 2's 120mm cannon can pierce by firing sabot rounds?
What about the T-90s cannon firing sabot ammo?
>>33494984
at least 810mm at 2000m, dunno about the Russian but they probably claim the same numbers
>>33487149
Holy fuck I see a Tiger in this
>>33494969
>literally a modern tiger
No.
The tigers were heavy, slow tanks, very tough for their time, the leopard 2 is just kinda average in terms of armor for a modern tank, it's pretty fast though, the Abrams and Challenger II are the massive inpenatrable monstrosities these days, maybe the T-14 will end up being similarly tough, I don't know much about it.
