WinSP MBT: Das Reich

[RecruitMonty]

The "(+)" versions of the Leopard 1A4A1 forward have Thermal imaging and a CIWS, is this right?

The thermal imaging is correct. I changed CIWS to VIRSS in the updated version. I will post it up next week. IRL has gotten in the way this week.

"normal" versions dont get TI till the mid 90's and the leopard 2 never even gets VIRSS never mind a CIWS!

The regular Leopard 1s are meant to be a bit more rudimentary by the 80s. They are more or less the equivalent of the Panzer IVs in the late war years by that time.

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

the kaisertiger for instance gets an active protection system in the early 80's

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

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