General information

The Leopard 2A5, a formidable main battle tank, emerged as the pinnacle of German engineering and design in the late 20th century. Introduced in 1995 as an advanced iteration of the Leopard 2 family, the 2A5 showcased its prowess during the 21st-century conflicts. This tank's innovative features, including modular composite armour enhancements and advanced fire control systems, made it a stalwart on the battlefield. Its baptism of fire came in the early 2000s, notably during NATO's involvement in Afghanistan. With its powerful Rheinmetall 120 mm smoothbore gun, the Leopard 2A5 could accurately engage targets at extended ranges, solidifying its reputation as a precision weapon. Its capabilities were further demonstrated during Operation Iraqi Freedom, where it played a pivotal role in coalition forces. A combination of cutting-edge technology, unmatched firepower, and adaptability ensured the Leopard 2A5's enduring legacy, making it a symbol of armoured supremacy well into the 21st century.

The Leopard 2A5 (YouTube Cup) was introduced during Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy" as a grand prize for the 2019 YouTube Cup. The Leopard 2A5's exceptional mobility and robust powerplant further enhance its capability to swiftly manoeuvre on the battlefield, enabling it to quickly identify and engage enemy targets. Whether facing contemporary adversaries like the Russian T-90 or older models like the T-72, the Leopard 2A5's exceptional combination of armour, firepower, and manoeuvrability cements its position as a dominant force in tank-to-tank combat, reaffirming its status as a pre-eminent mainstay in modern armoured warfare.
