No rush mate.

Should the Leopard 2s - later models get CIWS in your opinion? They don't have any at present afaik irl.

No I don't believe they should - thats why it struck me as odd, lol. Seems you have it in hand already if you have changed the active CIWS to the passive VIRSS.

The protection systems in the mod's timeline were developed to specifically protect the heavy tanks in the 70s - about ten years before the USSR or NATO countries - from emerging threats in the 70s-80s

I'm pretty sure no NATO country has active CIWS on any vehicle NOW nevermind in the 80's!!!
The soviet Drozd system was available in the late 70's but wasnt very sucessful and was dropped in favour of reactive armour.

The passive systems are replaced in the update for all heavy tanks.

with what?
Your later comments for the heavy tanks seem to contradict what you say about the leopards (or I'm sorry, I misunderstood).
In your timeline does the Reich develop some kind of active protection system for it's vehicles/tanks? in the 70's? If they did, fine, they would indeed have mounted it on the Leopard 2's.
My, limited, understanding is that the various systems were too big, heavy, slow and limited and were universally dropped in favour of reactive armour and passive systems (jammers, IR smoke, chaff, etc) - it is only in recent times that the advances in electronics, miniturisation and radar detection that they have become viable and practicable with great claims made for the efficiency of systems such as the Israeli Trophy, Russian Arena or American Iron Curtain.
No worries. I will get the first batch of 100 or so texts emailed to you next week, so you can see if I am doing them to your satisfaction.
Don't worry about timing - Real life has to come before a game,mate!
