Agree as well, it seems to perform very well despite having lack lustre armour. Looking forward to driving it at the end of the current season. Hopefully if the Leopard 2 lands in Era 3 when the German CW line arrives, it performs similarly, if not better.
Riki do you know what's going on with wotstars . Many of my battles arnt recording and some battle that are recording are Not registering my scores. I know that new or altered tanks take time to show up but this is happening on tanks already in the game which is a pain in the backside as I use it to keep track of my damage average.
@@cloraformsgood5340 can’t say that I know what’s happening. Looks like I’m having the same issue. Give it a day or two, may be a site maintenance issue.
Really looking forward to the content this season. Germans in CW & Czech Heavies. Super excited to grind some more, the Chinese didn’t do it for me. I hope MOE changes are coming - just completed some surveys about them.
It is a second line tank, support almost have to play as a TD. Not an easy one to play. Everyshot will pen and if caught by a bmp2 forget it the chain gun will take you down really quick. T72AV is now king due to the reactive armour. Having good games though. Another honest review.👍
Since the 30mm BT round is contemporary with LEO-1A1 [LATE 70S ] its penetration is dubious at best. It can penetrate the Marder front at only 300m . At the same range this shell can . Not even enough for LEO 1A1 turret; ALSO penetrate 45mm /30o or 40mm @ 40o but the it can just manage the side pannier at 35mm @ 40o at 300m range.
This thing is a beast. The dpm is insane and it's very quick. You can peak aboom very well. Long range you can dodge shells as the come towards you. It's like obj 934 without the painful gun depression and without the camo rating. With doesn't really matter much on cold war anyway. Also traverse speed is lovely. You need full equipment plus crew skills tho
Mine has 4,800 dpm. And the pen is great only one real complaint I thing the gun sight is slightly to the left of the barrel which means it missed alot of shots
So, I picked this tank up yesterday after finishing the season. It is a Beast. It plays almost exactly the same as the tierX Leo 1 even down to having the ammo rack in the front left. It is a terrific sniper and can give the FV4211 anxiety attacks when in a death spiral since th FV can't rotate fast enough to keep up with the tiny turning radius of the Leo. The downside is it is in tier 2 and an Armadillo or BMP 2 is gonna ruin your whole day since only the front of the turret has a chance of bouncing anything. Tl/dr Great tank but it has its weaknesses
It is as I expected it to be, Looking at this review, very well informed and detailed, you also get to the point with showing us exactly how the tank is... I have a feeling the CW line may come as a suprise line in this update if not... Next update for sure...
Dude! I've been waiting for the German tech tree forever since modern tanks became a thing for WoT console. I wonder which variant of the leopard 2 we will have the end of the tech tree. Here's to hoping we get up to the Leopard 2a5 at the very least. Kinda hopeful for the A6 but I think that's a little too advanced even for Era 3
I gotta I agree with Rikitikive on Leopard 1A1...it isn't new people but fantastic however does struggle to penetrate FV4211 as in clip also T-72AVs in hulldown
Love this tank - it can be an absolute monster. I run it with a TD crew - lots of camo perks etc. and just farm damage without getting spotted. Nice and quick to get to those fruitful positions on the map and just as happy chasing down victims..
Maybe you could do a video on how to pen the FV4211? Try different ammo. I reckon you'll find that the Leopard 1A1 can go through the frontal upper hull of the FV4211 on an even terrain, especially once you hit that premium ammo. I haven't been able to pen the FVs with HEAT at all, but 400mm pen of APFSDS goes through that plate easily once you are above the FV or it is slightly angled to you. Gotta teach the masses.
Looks good, spent 2000 gold for a season pass and can't wait until I get my hands on this tank and kill those annoying FVs 😠. The fact that it has weak armour, and given a lot of CW players are still new to the game, I think will put most off this tank. Brilliant Nohomahn is back and Dragon Ridge. What is really weird is why WG have given the E100 and Maus a pea shooter second gun (multiple weapon system)
Finally a German cw tank besides mbt 70. I'm hoping the czech heavies are not much nerved when added. Btw best Ytuber for wot console, great videos!PS: Die you know the added the Leo 2A5 stats to the official Website?
I’m mostly just looking forward to getting something that can reliably pen the 4211. My only era 2 is the ural because I missed out on the season with the 4211 and with there being at least 4 in every single era 2 game, I might actually start having fun
I think the fv4s will still be played by most. It Is an easy tank to play. Like you said experienced people will be good in this. Fv4s are so annoying. Starting a match seeing 7 on an enemy team just pisses me off
I think the mobility is lacking because it cant outrun even most heavies easily, not that its bad just combine that with the unforgiving armor AND your lack of hitpoints, is a rough combo
Don't think the leopard 1a1 has armour I think Germany focused on mobility and firepower at the time ,until they combined both mobility and armour into a MBT leopard that came after this one.
@@Rikitikitave typically I play tank destroyers so I enjoy high penetration but I do also play super heavies alot. So I'd guess a heavy would be preferable.
@UC5r3GMAY9xQ3XXkPWJusQBw it’s a Cold War premium so if you’re looking in WW2 you won’t find it. If you can’t find it in Cold. War chances are you don’t own it yet.
The Leopard 1A1 is a very good tank and I hope that this is a small glimpse of what is to come with the full German line.
I agree on that. Great video as always.

Hello from Germany nice Video, liked IT also, hope that they dont nerv IT in future!
So buying the leopard can’t wait, huge fan of the leopard tanks
You know who has great pen, a stationary shop.
Jen thinks that is hilarious.
I think you should leave... 😂
🤣🤣🤣 What are the rules that pens live by? The Pen Commandments!
You’re both in the naughty step 😂
Why didn't the pen move? Because it was stationery! 🤣🤣🤣
I have the perfect pen for Russ & Daniel...... HMP Wandsworth. 😈
Looking forward to getting mine, will. Wait to earn it also loved the video pal
Finally leopard is here 🙌

Yeah they took them down but i made some screenshots of it. I think it was a work of an intern :).

The only reason I got the season pass is because of this tank. I cannot wait to get what appears to be a very capable medium tank in my garage.
Excellent review... thxs

I'd like this tank but after grinding out the last season I don't think I can be assed
I've came across several of these my bmp shreds through them. Regular MG rounds don't even need premium stay hidden in this tank
Im asuming id like this tank Josh? It really seems like war gaming are begging me to get into Cold War? 😂 haha, great vid Josh
I think you’d like Cold War especially with the German line coming.
@@Rikitikitave the Leo 1 is my child. I adore it, fav tank in the game
What premiums in CW would you recommend to a new player? (I have tier tens but want to give CW a shot but find the upgrades too expensive)
What vehicle type do you prefer? (Lights, mediums, etc)
@@Rikitikitave typically I play tank destroyers so I enjoy high penetration but I do also play super heavies alot. So I'd guess a heavy would be preferable.
In that case, play the US line but take the heavies instead of the mediums (T34, M103A1, M103A2). The M1A2 is a very good tank to end the line on.
@@Rikitikitave ah alrighty and any recommendations for a credit maker?
@@Cyathewolf Era 1 WZ-111 has a 60% silver boost. Era 2 Leopard 1A1 and FV4211 have a 65% silver boost. All 3 were/are season reward tanks.
What's the best equipment load out should be use for this tank
I’m running all equipment that boosts gun performance. Advanced loader, gun laying drive and gun stabiliser.
What setup is best run with this one?
The actual names escape me now but I run the rammer, aim speed boost and accuracy boost.
This tank missed the strangest shots. I'm pretty sure the gun sight is slightly off the shell seems to come from the right all the time.
For me it always shoots low 🤷🏼♂️
Do I need to own the leopard 1 tank to be able to use the leopard 1A1?I sound stupid asking this…
No you can own and play the 1A1 even if you don’t own the 1.
@UC5r3GMAY9xQ3XXkPWJusQBw it’s a Cold War premium so if you’re looking in WW2 you won’t find it.
If you can’t find it in Cold. War chances are you don’t own it yet.
@@Rikitikitave it’s on Cold War that why 🤦♂️ my bad, I only play WW2 that’s why I got so confused lol thankyou anyway 👍
Iv been trying to bounce rounds in it 😂🤣 pointless.
But a great tank and the skin looks sooo nice.
