The semovente controaerei Leopard Bofors da 40/70 is a prototype Italian anti-air platform made during the late 1990s. Its role was to aid the SIDAM 25 platform in shooting down enemy air targets and provide cover for armoured convoys. The Italian army would test it for several years but ultimately it would not see mass production.
Introduced in Update "Kings of Battle", the Leopard 40/70 has amazing mobility and strong firepower. Being based on the Leopard platform but without the original turret means that a lot of weight was saved when installing the Breda Bofors 40 mm cannon. As such, it is one of the most mobile vehicles at the battle rating. The 40 mm main armament is highly effective against ground and air targets, more so against enemy air as the amazing elevation angles allow you to be able to hit targets which are even directly above you. The main weakness of this vehicle is its armour and crew placement, most if not all enemy vehicles will be able to take you out in 1 shot. As such, it's best to try and flank as much as you can with this vehicle to take enemies by surprise and then quickly move to a different area to repeat the same strategy.
