Inside the Chieftain's Hatch. Snapshots: Leopard 1 [World of Tanks] 

Canadian?

@@pegging640 ..could be danish?

daniel birleanu lol, in case you didn't get it, he probably means animal leopards :P

oh my hahahaha

+Aditya Reynaldi be grateful he didnt try to ride you

very funny. lol. hahaha

i hope you are ok ;|

Same here dude :)

What about a real E-75? ;)

I dream about a Leopard 2 :D

thanh ngo never made

Tanks are cooler than farrari or porche... but to have one of those is got because you can have a lot of fun while destroying it with you tank :D

Leopard 2 seems to be as fast if not faster (due to auto gearbox and higher HP/t ratio) than Leopard 1.

@@Weisior i thought it what be obvious, but I say it: "the sports car amongst tanks of it's time". Better?

Where can I get this sport car?

@@Weisior yeah but Leo 1 sounded way better

My dad is in the RCAF!

+FURY 2005 he is a pilot In the taiwanese air forcé?

RCAF = Royal Canadian Air Force RCOAF = Republic of China Air Force

RoCAF you mean..

Nope, as typed above

Agreed. Our M113's (with commanders turret and co-ax .30 & .50 calibre mg's), were much better than the US versions I've seen. The Leopard was a great tank for us and it's great mobility and hitting power were key.

andrew strongman agreed - I loved my bucket.

What troop mate? I was C Sqn then SEQ HQ SQN. Leo's were great but I was always envious of the Cav!

@@browndoggyntnt4590 Ah , I was B Sqn drove the 1st dozer tank {Leopard}, then went to Op Spt Sqn , drove the CO around, then went silly and joined SASR

You do realize that the Leopard 1 base armor is only meant to stop heavy machine gun rounds and some smaller auto cannons. The Leopard 1 can NOT take a hit from any type of tank round. Even the old Sherman 75mm AP round would go straight through the Leopard 1 lol.

@@mississippirebel1409 can you even read? Where did he say that anything at ALL about the leopard 1s armor...are you blind or simply cannot comprehend a basic sentence?

MississippiRebel bro you need to read

@@mississippirebel1409 additional armour of the Mexas package- Sides of hull, adding some composite armour blocking much more from the side additional turret armour, mostly just thin plates going around the sides of the turret to (my guess) help against shaped charges

@@ket451 All the extra armor is for shape charges like RPGs. The Leopard 1's armor was only originally suppose to stop 20mm and that was it's frontal armor. It's just hard for me to imagine Canada using Leopard 1's in Afghanistan as a US solider that has deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan.

I don't think anyone would dare to be mad at someone in a tank ;p

true, tho people still might for "gently" denting their car

dasquid352 "Dont worry it has thin armor" you shout as you roll over there 4 wheel drive

Dude you do know that they will cap the cannon so you can't shoot it

Dev Tavares You can tape a sledgehammer to the end of the barrel and wave it around.

This and the STB-1 are my favorite tanks in the game...(both tested on the testserver:)) but i'm too lazy to grind them...

Jesper Becker on the test server every tank seems better then it really is (im not saying that the leo or stb is bad)

I have the leopard on the live server, and it is joyous!!!

I have a Leo on the regular server, it is my favorite tank, and it is getting a DPM buff next patch!

Emils Liepins in my opinion, the T10 tanks on the testserver are worse than on the live server, due to the fact that nearly every game is 100% T10, and the fact that there is quite a lot of gold beeing spammed. so you gett much better matches on the live server...

Very true, but I think for it's time, the PZ III did quite well, being the main battle tank at that period. The PZ III M was quite something, though it only has a 50mm, the last version of the 50mm was very good and could contribute to the battle taking place.

@@jlyngdoh5608 they were using the Pzkw III with the 50mm gun in the battle of Kursk

Military History Visualized reported in the German Gov. Giving the Ukraine the last version of the Leopard 1. Who will that traike fear in? The mother's of the crew... Time to test the Leopard 2

Did You get 'em nefoe or after Denmark? (Sry' as a DK inf. - i'm to lazy to do my own research)

sixshot19 the Canadian C2 upgrade put add on armor on these tanks they are still in service today sadly they will probably end up as targets soon. funny thing though they sold a bunch of running leo 1 chassis a while ago to civilian's here in Canada only to buy them back for parts

I hope we will return the favor, you ugly non-human, as we did to your grandfather

ShadowFalcon The A5DK is the most beautiful version in mine eyes combining the EMES18 fire control (LaserRF, Thermal Imagers) with the welded turret.

I hear the Serbs were throwing sticks of dynamite at the tanks. The Danes responded by getting out of their tank lighting the dynamite and throwing it back.

Also, Leos ruined some T-55 out there. Like 3 of them, I think.

@@HanSolo__ no, they had the T-55 in their sights, but their thermal showed they had not fired their guns, and the danes were thus not allowed to fire on them as "we" (I was not there, but I know people who were, so meaning the UN), were only allowed to return fire- being peacekeepers (with no peace to keep). For some more mistakes, there was no damage really, a scratch maybe, and the Serbs did not throw dynamite at the Danes, they would never have gotten so close. The Danish commander Oberst Lars Møller did walk around between the tanks at some point, knocking on their sides with his cane and pointing where he wanted them to shoot. He did have "a close shave" as he calls it, by a piece of shrapnell cutting the hair from the back of his head. Most Serbs were killed when a Leopard shot a bit too high with the last shot and hit an ammo or fuel depot. They say it was by accident (Møller even say he was just about to explode on the gunner for wasting ammo, when the depot exploded instead).

All A3 and A4 have a welded turret (That is the main difference to the earlier models). As does the Danish variant of the Leopard 1A5 since it is based on an A3 turret.

What were they so good at?

@@taylorc2542 probably more agile

Speed

@@taylorc2542 You had an enemy that "trained where it would die" and knew the landscape like the back of his hand. Not unlikely parts of the crew where locals and knew stuff that was not on the maps. Add in a fast tank with a gun equal to yours (early M1 also used the 105mm) and a low silouette (And crews that trained camouflage religiously) Also had a better fuel economy.

+okrajoe The Leopard 2 is a better design though.

+Transit Tycoon That's natural design progression, though. Relative to their times, both are fantastic designs.

+Sean Maness the Leo 1 design was great for 1960? Not really in many ways

okrajoe in warthunder its spammed everywere

okrajoe totally worthless in heavy combat. but in tank to infantry it could be usefull. however any kind of tank to tank and you will almost always lose.

a

İt has no use, if the crew are greek too.

Haha, made my day.

@@hamzakaanc.9734 Yeah, we saw how well you guys did in Syria with your Leopards hahaha

From my knowledge, not much except those plates on the turret

I last read a couple years ago that South Korea purchased a number of Russian T-90's to sure up its tank fleet. Any information on wither this was done or not?

They have T-80s. It was part of a debt offset deal. Apparently they rather like them.

Yes. We like it very much and still roll it. When T-80U arrived, USA's TACOM and TECOM researchers also came and studied it. and now K1's USA, T-80U's Soviet Technologies merge in K2 Black Panther.

TheChieftainWoT chieftain t80s were a massive failure i have to say in russian tank design first chechen war they lost so many of them. i don;t who would want that tank that dies to rpgs frontally so easily.

South Korea? Our brother country :)(I'm Turkish) Seems like assistance is mutual.We helped you in 1950 Korean war and youre helping us with the black panther tanks.(in turkey We call them Altay) Thank you for everything my friend,greetings from Turkey.

That's just wrong

It will never be done. You hv to wait for 40-50 years. Leo2 is the current German tank used by many countries including Germany herself. So many info is classified. So i don't think they will allow a camera for a short documentary or as such.

it will be outdated in like 6/7 years, and not everything is really secret, maybe the gun an the armor, but not the hatches, suspension, controls etc.

I believe the T-14 outclasses it already and I'm from Germany (It's an 80s design ffs) but a sucessor is planned to only appear in like 20 years and well, german military projects are now known for taking much longer then planned (NH90 helicopter, A400M transport plane, Puma Ifv, EuroHawk drone, the list is endless)

Well, modernized Leopard 2s are equal-or superior to the T-14 in many ways. But base, and essentially everything A4 standard and below, is not technically obsolete, but not worth buying new. Most tanks, despite minor differences, are nearly equal. A Leopard 2A7 going up against an M1A2 Abrams would be entirely dependent on if one of the two was able to fire at the other's side or rear. Otherwise, neither could truly kill the other-although disabling is certainly possible. This is why fighter aircraft, AGMs, AT mines, and ATGMs are a thing. Somewhat. Most ATGMs will be defeated by the armor of an M1A2, Leopard 2A7, M60T, T-72B3, T-90, Type 10, Challenger II, K1A2, K2, Merkava, etc etc etc. Without top-attack, ground fired ATGMs would have to increase to large degree in weight, and SABOT is not even close to a guaranteed kill anymore. Being from the 80s means nothing unless it is at a permanent, absolute disadvantage in every single fight. Tanks from the 80s can be upgraded to the very highest standards there are-it's simply not economical for the vast majority of nations. And then there's South Africa. Fighter aircraft, on the other hand, are a different story. This is why a lot of nations prioritize funding for totally new aircraft over funding for totally new tanks. You cannot upgrade an F-15 with RCS reducing features to a standard that is set by an F-22 or F-35. Not even close. You CAN upgrade a Centurion, for instance, to a Leopard 2A5-M1A1 standard, however, as South Africa did. Also, ALL military projects of modern times take eons. It's a universal trend. Every fighter aircraft designed since the 80s, for example, has taken at least a decade from start to first aircraft-most nearly two decades. Su-27 MiG-29 Eurofighter Typhoon Rafale F-22 F-35 F-15 F-16 F-14 F-18 Whatever to all of these have in common? 9+ year development times. F-15, F-18 F-14, and F-16 had the shortest development times, however, and they are subsequently some of the oldest aircraft on the list. The trend goes that with better technology, development times increase. You cannot shorten development times, because developing a fighter with inferior, or lacking technology will just get you shot down. This is why most powerful nations have prioritized radar, missile and jet engine development over tank FCS, engines, and in some cases, the entire ground forces. In poorer nations with fewer powerful enemies, this trend reverses and the ground forces become dominant. This is why the richer the nation, the stronger the nation is a rule. This is why Iraq, who had the 4th largest mechanized army in the world, fell quickly. And the fact that as a threat gets smaller, it gets less and less efficient to combat, is why an inherently inferior, heavily disorganized series of forces have persisted when by far the strongest force was defeated fairly quickly. Please argue, I am bored any my life is devoid of meaning

I am to lazy to read but I disagree

Matteo Wise those additional armor is A1 and A2 version

you sir, are a filthy comment stealer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k9CRuTzxjWQ.html look in the comments

Are you serious? Isn't that on world of fake tanks?

***** Yes, finally. They were just costing money, unable to get used. Our military, and many other militaries in the world, need to rely on rapid deployment. What good is that Leopard sitting in our country? It will never see action, transporting it to a battlefield would be far too costly, and operating it there also. The cannons on the IFV's are more than enough to deal with anything they face.

***** That is true, but really, does Belgium need a military at all? I think not. LAst I checked we were even in the top 40 countries for military ... Why? Why do we even need armored fighting vehicles and dozens of F16's, we even have like 10 minehunter vessels and two cruisers... Still don't know why :/ Leave all that shit to the USA, I say.

***** It's true, but what difference does a handful of IFV's a couple dozen old F16 and some NH90 helis plus a couple hundred (!) soldiers really bring to the table? That said, our paracommando special forces are among the best of the world and indeed the instructors are very good too. I'm just saying, the military hardware that costs so much is mostly just standing there. A couple F16's have flown over IS, sure and dropped 10.000€ worth of bomb on a 3000€ jeep xD

+janusx66 Nope. Early Leopard 2s used an LLTV system mounted in a cage, it wasn't until later that they got the thermal imagers. See the cage here, for example. www.panzerbaer.de/types/pix/bw_kpz_leopard_2a0-001.jpg

GhostJager81 T-64 and T-72.

well considering the shells meant to go into the tank were 105mm yes you could. but only the cannon not the breach.

Frank Castle Lol ok.

Rewind well the Germans have ALWAYS had the world's best and most professional and humane military and tanks

Rewind me too. I have the leopard pta now, and I have a model of the leopard sitting by my tv.

Leopard 1 is German

So you american...so you cant like the leopard?!
