    This is still a really good premium. Not the fastest in a straight line but it is more agile than many tanks at 9.3. T72AV on the other hand has insanely low win rate ATM, because almost all Soviet line players have only T72AV or T72M2, and quit after 1 death.

      @@collander7766 "basically equal" L44 has worse pen, and worse mobility. Only thing the L44 does better is spall due to the 120mm dart. There are many 9.0s that are straight up better vehicles then the L44. AMX-30 Super is a good example. It does everything the L44 does, but does it better in most ways. OF-40MTCA is also a better tank. So it's the XM-803. Why? They're mobility, with a decent round, and good gun handling. Those are just the MBTs off of the top of my head.

    I can still remenber when i got it.
    My friend bullied me into buying it (it was the first thing i bought)
    When i got it i was awfull because i only played planes and my friend played ita 10.0-10.7.
    But there where some matches where i was really good i got 4 kills and hopt in to a plane and when i couldent i get in the Leo again.
    When the summer event was there whit the Mexas i grindet so hard so i had 1 more tank in my line up (it was pain like all events)
    I would recomend it but dont the same mistacke i did by buying it whitout any toptire experince, i Had luck i that i didint fuck so much up for my team and that if i die i would go in it again or go in a plane.

    I bought it as a lineup filler. It was much needed and pretty great back then. But after the last year's developments, with two Leopards in the basic tree, M48Super and Tam, it's become obsolete. And as now we got Puma and Bagel, I barely manage to fit one Leo in the lineup (Bagel/LeoL44/Puma/Tam/M48Super/Gepard/G91). So with the current meta, I'd gladly trade it back and get XM1 or TURM III even, if that was an option. Or at least trade it for a much better TAM2IP and get rid of the Leos in the lineup alltogether.

What it was, was a test bed on "Could you upgrade the Leo1 with the Leo2 gun?" the answer being Yes, but ultimately its not a wanted upgrade.

    I don't think that the TURMS is a better buy than the L44. While the TURMS is probably the better tank, the reality is that games with it are infested with other TURMS owners who are one-and-done and seemingly have little high tier experience.
    9.7 in general for any nation means the chance of being on a team of majority TURMS. It's a horrible BR now.

      Like? The L/44 sucks now. I'd rather get the XM-1 at 9.3 which is much faster, has better armor and somewhat lower pen.

      For one, DM13 is not classified as “short rod” and does not in fact do less damage. It’s actually funny because the comments about short rod in this video are completely the opposite of what was said in the T-55amd video.
      Next, I don’t know how you come to the conclusion that a 19.3 hp/ton tank is sluggish at 9.0 when that’s pretty much average for an mbt. Sluggish is a chieftain, russian tank, m60, etc. Hm what else? Oh the armor values you give are like shots from the heavens with how high you have the camera. On a tank like this it doesn’t matter, but if you want to give good information you should make an effort to use line of sight numbers… Just a trend I’ve noticed. And calling the TAM 2IP worse is honestly a bad take but you can have your opinion.

      @@cutthroat795 The L/44 IS sluggish. It's not as mobile as a tank that can be frontally penned by autocannons yet claims to be a medium should be like.
