![]() However, the wedge panels of these tanks are exploded with a single hit, which means the turret is exposed to further enemy fire. ![]() Previous Leopards (specifically the 2A5 and 2A6 including the Strv 122) can withstand 9M119 to the turret. The 2PL is also the first tank in game to be able to withstand more than one hit of C元143, DM53 and 9M119 to the turret. As seen in picture, the area highlighted is the place in which both the gunner and commander can be killed with a single shot (more specifically the lower section of the rectangular optic in the GPS).ĭM53 round is unable to penetrate the add-on armour. Most of the time, any hit to the GPS will result in the knock-out of the commander only with partial damage to the gunner. However, chances of hitting the GPS in the exact place for it to disable both crew members is reduced immensely thanks to the add-on armour. As seen in the Leopard 2A4, any hit to the GPS means both gunner and commander will be knocked out. However, for sub-calibre rounds like APFSDS, the composite armour offers less protection. As seen in the image, the GPS is mostly safe from HEAT-FS and other chemical shells due to the volumetric armour, meaning they will either prematurely explode, or simply not be able to penetrate the 500+ mm of protection offered by the add-on armour package. However, taking into consideration the new armour package, hitting the GPS makes is far harder without hitting add-on armour first. At first sight, the GPS (Gunner Primary Sight) can be seen as the main weak point since it is the same weak spot the 2A4 has. However, it completely removes the armour issues from the turret. This version is based on the 2A4 series, and so features the same problems with the hull armour, barely enough to stop rounds seen in game. ![]() It features a stronger turret armour compared to all the Leopard 2 seen in game but has no add-on hull protection as the Strv 122A and the Strv 122B PLSS. The Leopard 2PL features the strongest and most armoured turret for the Leopard 2 series tanks seen in game so far. However the add-on armour reduces the chances of killing them both in a single shot. APFSDS dart is able to penetrate the Gunner Primary Sight taking out both gunner and commander.
