My guys that normally and generally are the first to report many new weapons platforms got a little behind on the next however they've done some comparisons of the next versus other systems which allows for some further perspective on the topic.

But what I keyed on is this - "However despite all improvements the Polish Leopard 2PL is not as capable as the upgraded Leopard 2A7 upgraded by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann,
which entered service with the German Army in 2014. The Leopard 2PL looses to Leopard 2A7 in the key areas of protection, firepower, accuracy, and onboard electronic systems."
We debated it and now I think it should be fully integrated into the game for access by the AI. The 2014 date is consistent with about the three or four refs. I found concerning whether or not the
LEO 2A7 was serving in the German Army. I believe based on what I had then that it appears that they were operating around 35-50 units. The tanks are assigned to the
2nd Company, 203rd Armor Battalion in Augustdorf, Germany.
So bottomline they've updated the picture and now have filled in the "Entered Service" with 2014 which
wasn't done in the past for this tank from this site.
