Indeed it was the Leopard 2 NL. I know we got a update in 1989 or 1990.. I was Platoon commander at that time from a Recce platoon. I thought it was the Leopard 2 A4A1 (NL) The A4 must be updated between 1985 and 1987.. in that period I had no function on a Leopard 2.

Leopard2A4A1 NL?
You mean upgraded once in 1985-87 along with the first German A4 batch, then once again in 1989-90 to A4A1?
I hadn't seen this AxAy thing since, well, Leo1!
Anyway, the last Leo2NL were delivered in 1986. So, upgrading them right away between 85 and 87?
Well, since you rode the very beast I won't question you too much on that. Probably the Dutch army launched some retrofit program on the way, to prepare for the A5s which, at the time, must have been expected quite faster than how they really came, am I right?
Now to determine what was this upgrade exactly.
Maybe that ahs something to do with the 2 Leo2a4 batch I was talking about, one with TC, the other with armour?
Just wondering...

There were some explosion suppress system placed but taken out and would be implemented in case of war. So there were other things.
It is not a question for me who is right or wrong but more how can we update the Dutch OOB. At this moment it is a disaster when I'm talking about recce units (and since I�m a recce man).
The fact that I couldn't use the Leopard 2 A4 only in 1995 triggered me to write this post. I noticed this in the last version but hoped it would be fixed in this one.
To be honest when the updates came it didn�t interest me because I only wanted to exercise with that thing in the real world and not in a simulation. But when getting older.. you must except to let it loose.
