For good performance the model needs at least 5 res LODs to reduce lag in mp for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col. Faulkner 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Has Mr. Gutowski any more tank models he would allow to be converted (except M1A1s or T72s - they are well covered already)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-HUNTER- 1 Posted March 19, 2008 Col. Faulkner: From Mr.Gutowski I have some ww2 tanks but first to arma go Leo2 VXR: Next LODs will be create Will Dutch versions be made too? GOOD question, that would be awesome, allthought the machine guns would need changing from MG3 to FN MAG. It will go together well with the Foxtrot. @Marekmodel Very nice! It will be nice to have the Leopard tank ingame especially if it looks very well made. The tank isnt really battle proven yet, which is too bad because it can and will kick ass if it does im sure of that, the danes got A6's in Afghanistan right now. But its more as back up I believe. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah I forgot the canadians, only thought about their Leo1's... The danes got nice camoflage on it aswell, and those desert style camoflage netting you also see on some snatch rovers. Forgot the name. First time Ive seen a Leo in desert flavour. The Netherlands has decided it would look too agressive if we used our Leo's in Afghanistan, and besides that the areas were in are a bit tank unfriendly. Ive seen the leopard many times on the back of trailers, and a few times driving about in the mud. Lovely sound the engines make. < I hope the sounds will be allmost accurate. There was a OFP leopard addon which had awesome sounds for the engine. I believe the SFP mod one had it, Ive forgotten tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Faulkner 0 Posted March 19, 2008 The tank isnt really battle proven yet, What does that really matter in a computer game? The "tank" is only as good as its config.cpp makes it. However, I always liked the story about a British Chieftain commander talking to a German Leopard commander during an ex (circa 1985). Brit: How many times has your vehicle broken down? German: Oh, three times. Brit: Yeah, we broke down twice yesterday too. German: Oh no. I mean it broke down once in 1980, once in 1982 and once in 1984....

Mr_Tea 0 Posted March 20, 2008 I´m pretty sure, that this tank will do a good job in battle. Even if this is not proven by now, why should that beast fail the ultimate test? The Leopard ha gone a long way in development from the Leo 1 to the 2 A6, so you can bet it will work. It has all that is needed, if properly operated that tank kicks ass.

I mean it broke down once in 1980, once in 1982 and once in 1984.... Well in 1998/9 it was somehow the other way around. When preparing for KFOR we were reskilled from 2A4 to 2A5 and hell, a chassis coming from 2A4 with an additional turret armor plus heavier track shields, is something that makes the gunner quite sick. It was the first time i felt ill behind the optics and cruising and jumping with the tank was not possible anymore. With an A4 cruising through deepest mud pools, flying over little corrugations is such fun, fun i never had with the A5s. The first ride with an A5 in an exercise was so: no that's not german workmanship. We were said to ride to a fake village that should give us some training on how to handle ambushes and stuff in urban territories. It was a mechanized unit consisting of 1 Leopard and 2 Marders. On the way to that village rain set in, and we were speeding up and accidentally thought this neat puddle in front of us is just 10cm deep, but it was 50 or so. A depth a tank can master even when all the men are sleeping. But not that 2A5. It gave a cracking sound and then we stood still - lol. A single torsion-bar was broken. The next day, it was also raining, we were going as a platoon of 3 Leos fighting imaginary enemies, when some strange odours began flooding the interior. The commander shouted to leave the tank immediately, because that what was flooding the interior was Halon to stop a fire inside the computersystems. As Halon is known for being noxious to O2 breathing individuals, we were jumping out of the tank like some Easter bunnies. After some radio contacts with rescue team, we were rotating the turret to 12o'clock (it was set to our 6) and put tarpaulin over the barrel to build a proper tank-tent, with Home Improvement style. When all the others were playing with AGDUS and KADAG (the laser training system for inf and vehicles, including smoke-shells to simulate fire from the maingun), we were just sitting 'in' the tent, waiting for rescue team. That arrived 2-3 hours, or better many countless cigarettes later. In the Bundewehr you die either under hostile fire or from cancer (lung or liver, choose yourselves). However, the 2A5 model uses the A4 chassis that was not really designed to carry the heavier A5 turret, and with the A6 the barrel is 1.30m longer against the A6, and although i was never riding with an A6 on duty, i fear the tank is still top-heavy and therefore not well balanced. The additional weight is borne by manoeuvrability. What is still the best is the Rheinmetall gun-system. Unbeaten and adopted/licensed. Therefore even 125mm and above don't frighten a Leo. With the barrel length of that A6, the Leo is still on eye level with all known battletanks. But also it is not marked with the sign of infallibility. There's many idiosyncrasies that also an Leo has to offer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dk-vcb 31 Posted March 21, 2008 danes got A6's in Afghanistan right now. But its more as back up I believe. the leopard 2a5dk that the danes are using in the stan is as da12thMonkey said used as support for troops which already now has been proven extremely valuable for the troops since the rounds doesnt do as much damage as a plane bomb does to the buildings around there... anyways m8 nice work gonna be a good addition for arma..
