The Leopard 2 is a Tier 7 progression Main Battle Tank under Sophie Wölfli's dealership.
History[]
Class: Main Battle Tank
Developed: 1972-1978
Service: 1979+
Vehicles Built: 3300 (2125 for Germany)
Operators: Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Spain, Austria, Canada, Norway, Turkey, Poland and a number of others
This is the first production version of the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank, fielded to replace the aging American M48 Patton in German service after the failure of the joint American and German Main Battle Tank MBT-70 project. It was armed with a Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore cannon and protected by a new armor type, consisting of steel plates with air gaps. Produced between 1980 and 1992, it was modernized several times with the Leopard 2A4 variant being the most common. It was also widely exported. Interestingly enough, despite being fairly obsolete at this point, a number of modified Leopard 2A4 have recently seen combat in Turkish service in Syria.
