  • As promised I came back to show you the BEST Leopard in War Thunder. A prototype 4 second autoloaded L/44 cannon strapped to a 1500 horse power engine making it not only a tank... but a full blown race car!
    This is the PT-16/T-14 mod. and it's absolutely incredible how good it is!
    Now we just need the teams to back it up! :)

      Moments like this make me repeatedly wonder why is PT16/T14 9.7. I've had this moments a regularly, playing this tank. On some maps it is able to wipe out more then half of enemy team in 10-15 seconds. T-80BV on 10.0, Challenger mark 2 and 3, ZTZ96A are examples of tanks on these BRs, and it is significantly more difficult to make them perform so good.

      @@AltoTheWarlockit’s literally cuz of the mobility and reload with the games map design format completely catering to tanks like this. irl this ovbiously is a huge advantage, but way less significant when you put what type of thermal and aps, chemical protection technology modern tanks have. This tank should be shit on paper, but it succeeds from the same effect it has as the DF105. The ability to flank before everyone else can position themselves with a good reload is every tanks weakness in this game. All they gotta do is learn the map and form a plan for the tanks route and you can easily score 7+ kill games with a tank that has nothing but good mobility and reload.

      if you get single cap breslua where the cap is in the middle island, you can hide in the church, most tanks cant fit in the gap, and if they try you can shoot them and just attach your tow to their corps. Ive won 3 games, where my team melted but the enemy couldnt find me. One game a t44 tried to come in, didnt know which way to face hit turret, he turned it to the left, i was in a jumbo, shot him, attached the rope and anchored myself to a corner as the others tried to pull his tank. Luckily i didnt get bombed.

      How can it be your favourite if you can’t even play it?
      It is exactly the same as Leo 1A5 or A1A1 L44, but a bit slower.
      The MEXAS add-on armour does provide no protection, beside luring hostiles to shoot your turret cheeks where nothing is behind.

    Odd, have you played the M4A3 (76) W since the drone age update? It got its 500 hp engine back and new, better gear ratios for its transmission. Very good acceleration. Perhaps my favorite 5.7 medium right now.

    Way more fun to see you absolutely clap the sh*t out of the enemy, than see you suffer because of the gepard. Would love to play with you some time. And keep the fun videos up dude 👍 @oddbawz

    thermals dont matter that match... cause playing 8.3 vs China that could spot you from yr spawn behind 4 bushes, or playing ussr 8.3-9.7 where there are no thermals its very nice while everything is faster and got thermals...

    I’m going to guess the Hans in the title is the German name instead of a typo.
    Good play on words:)
