- Description
- The Leopard 2A6 is a Main Battle Tank and an upgraded variant of the German Leopard 2 family, distinguished by its lengthened L/55 gun and wedge-shaped appliqué armour on the turret front. The 2A6 entered Bundeswehr service in the early 2000s and has been widely exported; the longer barrel improves muzzle velocity and penetration over the earlier L/44. In-game it is a tracked vehicle weighing 59.9 tonnes, crewed by four — driver, gunner, commander, and loader. The MTU MB 873 Ka-501 diesel delivers 1,500 horsepower for 25 hp/t and a top speed of 72 km/h, with neutral steering and an automatic gearbox.
Main armament is the 120mm Rh120 L/55 cannon with a laser rangefinder, fire control system with lead computation, and Gen 1 green thermals at 3x and 12x zoom. A coaxial 7.62mm MG3 and a loader’s 7.62mm MG3 provide close-in defence; the commander has a stabilised CITV with laser and Gen 2 green thermals. The turret is stabilised and carries smoke grenades. This Vehicle features two addons: DM53 and 2A6M CAN. The DM53 addon costs 500 points and replaces the stock DM43A1 with the DM53 APFSDS projectile; this shell provides a substantial 88 mm increase in maximum penetration (from 595 mm to 683 mm), significantly boosting the tank's lethality against heavy armor. The 2A6M CAN addon costs 500 points and focuses on defensive survivability, adding a reinforced armor plate to the UFP and comprehensive slat armor to the sides and rear of both the hull and turret to defeat rocket-propelled grenades and other chemical energy threats.
