Don,
IF memory serves, concerning the following example, 120mm/L44
WGO1, the "
hi-lighted" portion indicates the ammo type/or upgrade.
Is that correct?
Also if you know, have the
LEOPARDS from the
2A5 on, have at least
1 or 2 versions that allow for add on armor "tiles"?
It doesn't look like it concerning the
2A5's from what I saw last night in the OOB.
The German
LEOPARD issue has gone beyond the those tanks to include the
BOXER. My first email was directed to the
BOXER first with a couple beyond that.
Due to the "
dismal" amount of MBT's the Germans have, don't be surprised if the
LEOPARD 2A5 doesn't get extended.
At the end of 2019, the following battle tank variants and special vehicles were in service:
241 Combat ready tanks not counting the three command variants as hi-lighted below, which I won't submit.
This also leaves out the 2A7V as some of the below will be upgraded to that MBT. Below is from another source (Recently found.) that in numbers and info is on par to Tank Masters.
Leopard 2A5 MBTs: 19
Leopard 2A6 MBTs: 153
Leopard 2A6A1 MBTs:
2
Leopard 2A6MA1 MBTs: 29
Leopard 2A6MA1 MBTs Kommandeursfahrzeug:
1
Leopard 2A6MA2 MBTs: 20
Leopard 2A7 MBTs: 20
Leopard 2A7V MBTs: 104**
Leopard 2 driving training tanks: 21
Bergepanzer 3A0 Büffel ARVs: 17
Bergepanzer 3A0A1 Büffel ARVs: 52
Bergepanzer 3A1 Büffel ARVs: 6
Gepanzertes Brückenlegesystem Leguan: 7*
I'm going to give Ralph a baseline to compare the
current LEOPARDS in service in the things that matter to us i.e.
TI/GSR and other aspects of the
FCS etc. without "
overloading" him. I'll be using the following below...
For comparison
ABRAMS SEP - LEOPARD 2A6 w/ ATTICA/
ABRAMS SEP V2 - LEOPARD 2A6MA2/LEOPARD 2A7 w/PERI R17A3 and finally
M1A2C (SEP V3) - LEOPARD 2A7V (Which might be fielded, subject to verification.) the reason should be obvious to some, as these a near "
peer" tanks in the world of heavy armor.
That will minimize the work so I'm not having to "reinvent the wheel" on most aspects of these tanks, especially since we ironed out the ABRAM's last year.
I guess my first submission will be about the
German OOB as it looks now.
Regards,
Pat
