- Description
- The Leopard 2A7V is a Main Battle Tank and a heavily modernised Leopard 2 variant developed for the German Army, with improved hull and turret protection, upgraded optics, and the 120mm Rh120 L/55 A1 gun. The “V” denotes Verbesserte (improved); the design incorporates lessons from operations in Afghanistan. In-game it weighs 66.5 tonnes with a crew of four and is tracked. The same MTU MB 873 Ka-501 engine (1,500 hp) gives 22.6 hp/t and 63 km/h forward; the extra weight reduces speed compared to the 2A4/2A6. The main gun fires DM73 APFSDS, DM11 multi-purpose, and DM12A1 HEAT, with a 6 s reload. Fire control includes a laser rangefinder, lead and tracking, and Gen 3 white thermals at 3x and 12x; commander and loader turrets are stabilised, and the vehicle has smoke grenades. Secondary armament is two 7.62mm MG3 machine guns (coaxial and loader’s cupola). This vehicle features three addons: Extra Smoke Launcher, Barracuda and Road Markers. The Extra Smoke Launcher costs 250 points and significantly increases the vehicle's defensive screen capability by adding 13 additional smoke grenades to the turret roof. The Barracuda addon costs 100 points and applies specialised camo netting to the entire vehicle; this modification reduces the tank's signature, making it more difficult to detect both visually and via thermal imaging. Finally, the Road Markers addon is free and serves a purely cosmetic purpose, adding red and white markers to the front and rear of the hull to simulate the equipment used for navigation on civilian road networks.
