very genius but also has weaknesses, coz they made the empty space between the outer armor and the turret longer than the shell , and if there is a more modern shell longer than that space, then that armor will be useless in most cases coz the shell will be long enough to get to the turret before it gets tilted in the empty space between the armor and the turret, well just search up how it's armor works!

This is just testserver, leo armor is not finished yet. In real life leo has 850 mm tower armor and ~650 hull. I do not know how gaijins will balance it, but Im sure that armor will be not so powerfull.
@@j.b.4835, Actually that is the minimum for the turret because that was leopard 2 improved armor. Realistically it should be around 1,000 to 1,100 base. What people don't realize is that even though it is 800 vs KE there is a good chance it could stop 1000 mm penetrator.
@@j.b.4835 No, ~650 hull is actually and understimated value, ~720mm vs KE is actually the closed value of estimate.
Even Polish Army (owns 2A5) claimed it to be impenetrable from the front to any ammunition they have in their storages at point blank (DM33 Improved, more than 550 vs KE) and claimed it to have more than 700 mm vs KE.
But i mean, it's a game so.
J. B. Hull should only be around 550-600, the ones on Swedish test trials has applique hull armor on, this one is are bones

If the a5 is so Strong i don't warnt to know how strong the a7 would be...
@לוי ישראל i know waht You mean but its Not the a8 its the Prototyp from the Leopard 3 or the research Vehicle from rheinmetall, but not the a8.
basically the a5 and the a7+ are the same tanks. The a7+ only has a few new technical devices.
@@fredkasten1647 new gun, better armor are no Technical devices
@@schattenpelzttd7123 Ok, the a5 has the L55 cannon and the a7+ has the L44 cannon. So basically the a7+ has a shorter barrel,which makes him weaker, but he has a shorter barrel because it was made for urban fights. A shorter barrel is better for fights between houses for example. But the main changes were many technical improvements like a new thermal visor and a better air conditioner for the fight in hotter areas like Syria or Afghanistan. I know, that the shorter barrel is a big difference between the a7+ and the a5, but the biggest changes are only some technical improvements. The a7+ also has a better protection against mines, but this is not necessery for War Thunder.
So in conclusion, the a7+ has a weaker cannon (This is bad for War Thunder :D), a better protection against mines, which is not necessary for war thunder, and newer technical devices, which can be necesarry for war thunder (reconnaissance for example). So in general the a7+ is bassicaly the a5 with better technologies.
@@fredkasten1647 the a7 has the longer barrel and the a5 is the kws (kampfwertsteigerung) Variant of the a4 that has the Short Barrel and the Barrel on the a5 is the same as on the a4 and the l/55 is longer since the a6

4:42 “what do they got in this turret!?”
Honestly....nothing 😂
From my understanding angles on the leopards front turret aren't there to bounce like traditional angled armor. They are there to destabilize penetrators as they go through it.
Hey phly about the things on the Leos cheeks, they arent for bouncing stuff and in reality that triangle is actually full of empty air, its to break up incoming Sabot darts, when it punches through the dart gets unbalanced and strikes the actual cheek at a poor angle, making it shatter rather than penetrate the tank. Its very neat.

Why would they need to when you can just kill it with one he shell?
US can't ever have top kek tonks....it would break the game
The abrams we have including the soon m1a1
They were basically extensive prototypes if what we have now
The difference between the m1/m1a1 and the m1a2 is as follows
Stable (unlike the Leo 2a5) 1500mm vs HEAT
800+mm vs KE
Front turret and 3/4the amount on the side turret faces
Improved turret ring composition making it slightly double of the m1 effectiveness
Composite side skirts are now 127mm opposed to currently 65mm-70m
Lower glacis like turret now have geometrically formed DU layers
So roughly the front of the m1a2 is 1000mm/~700mm
~850mm/~580mm and 35mm-50mm rear
Not invincible just reliable not to mention in real life they have space armored cages and other upgrades after $95 billion spent
So I'd say the abrams in game currently is just a US sample of the main product
They said that a hold down challenger is going to be deadly
*Leo2A5* : *hold my beer!*
Keep in mind that the effective thickness of the armor varies with the type of penetrator you're using. When I tested APFSDS against the original Abrams, longer penetrators decreased the effective thickness of the armor, even if they had lower penetration than other, shorter ones.
in spain we have the a6,and we decided that the armour was not enough,so we added even more,being the leopard 2e one of the most expensive leopard variant
8:55 Every American tank lover is from that moment completely triggered
Why would they? This is a game with make believe numbers where physics don't exist. Front line tank armor composition is Op Sec and unknown and Gaijin is openly admitting their now making stuff up.

Phly, ever heard about prototype Stealth Leopard E1 thres video about it.
Pretty much everyone seems to have this in his recommendation. Before the dude from the tank museum in Munster made a video about it, almost noone heard about it. Not even me, who is a huge Leopard and German Military Nerd.
There isnt even a Wikipedia page about it. Not even on the Leopard 1s Wiki page.
There is no known penetrator currently on any tank that can penetrate the turret front of a Leopard 2A5 onwards unless someone makes a longer penetrator, because the way it works is that as long as the penetrator fits inside those frontal add-on armor wedges, it just gets diverted too much to penetrate the composite behind.
Actually, it's hollow. The idea is that it acts as spaced armor for HEAT, and destabilizes APFSDS. When APFSDS strikes the outer wall of the wedge, it causes it to tilt up or down. It then strikes the thick turret cheeks at an angle, which reduces its effectiveness. Pretty good idea as long as there are no APFSDS rounds longer than the added armor.
there is no better feeling than leopard 2A5

*KV-2 Shot bounces..*
HE Never bounce
Let the metal box come. Such highly visible target will be easy prey against this opponent.
So your saying a ww2 tank would 1 shot a modern tank 🤦🏽♂️
@@dsmvmdsmsdmsd23 Well, its not 100% impossible
The arrowhead is empty it's just spaced armour, the trick is the distance between the turret face and peak of the arrowhead is larger than most sabots that hits it thus the shot passes through the arrowhead and tumbles on the inside and hits the turret face at an angle causing the shot to shatter on impact. but a sabot long enough to pierce the arrowhead plate and meet the turret face before it exits the arrowhead will punch through the armour.
It's about having the longest sabot
This puts a smile on my face!
German engineering: So good that they manage to turn air into impenetrable armour. ;)
This is honestly a more “accurate” representation on how this tank should be lol, now the 2A5 (even the 2A6) feel weak and spongy compared to that of its Russian counterparts anyways.
I feel like that's a fallacy. A modern mbt cannot have 1000mm of kinetic protection around the breach area.
Also the turret face armour of a leopard 2a5/6? If I had to guess would be around 800mm, with the added cheese slopes maybe abit over 1000mm.
The new Russian t14 armata has 1000mm of straight up composite armour (supposedly) and that has western governments scrambling to design new tanks and has them rattled. It's a big deal cause no other mbt has had that much protection before.
Kf51 with the 130mm gun is a direct counter.
I'll admit the leopard do feel abit spongey now but honestly the weak spots on Russian tanks in game are pretty easy to hit, provided you're not sniping at 2kms away.
@@unlockingsnow8571 i mean the armata is also supposibly weights less then the t90 and t80, i would take what ever the russians put out with a barrel of salt tbh.
the title still gets me....
just changes subject mid sentence. love it
This things frontal protection abilities look glorious. Might start playing again just to get this thing.

So when are they adding ICBMs/ V1s/ V2s as premium Arty?
Drake Tamer 5 kill streak and we got a special V1 as an arty call!
ICBM = nukes. Sure buddy
I like how it went from 10.0 to 11.0
Awesome tank, who knows in just several years of grinding I might be able to have it myself!
The DM 53 can only be shoot from the L55 Gun. The L44 isn't rated for these high Chamber pressures. But old ammunition from the L44 can still be used with the longer L55. So we will have to wait for the 2A6 till we get our hands on the L55 and the DM53 with 800mm pen.
Not really. L44 can shoot DM53 or even DM63. It need chamber and breach modifications but will successfully shoot DM53 and DM63. Of course longer barrel still means higher velocity. So even modified L44 shooting DM63 will be less powerful than L55.
DM53 can be used on L44 gun, it's confirmed by Rheinmetall. DM63 can be used on both L44 and L55, but L44 would need to be upgraded expect for the barrel lenght.
@@jakubw.2779 Maybe Rheinmetall planned such modification. But it certanly did not see service with the German Armed forces. In theory you could shoot a DM 53/63 (Basicly the same projectile, only different propellant) from a L44 Gun but the chamber pressure would most likely result in damage to the Gun aber a few shots.
@@mcdolgu this modification will be made for polish Leo 2A4 and A5 during modernisation process to Leo2PL standard.
the 2A5 also had the L55 later
ok i will bring my milk truck on the battle field in 10.0 now
because i know it is just the only solution...to defeat Leo 2A5
It's just spaced armour. But a lot of space. At its largest spacing it allows the kinetic penetrator to completely enter said space and start to tumble (thanks to inertia). Hence the round will not hit the main composite armour head on but sideways (ish) causing it to shatter rather than penetrate the turret. That's the theory anyway. Works great for heat rounds too.
You can never be too prepared.
