NEW VERSION: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/127349-Updated-Leopard-2A7-Now-with-more-7-slope-and-a-shorter-turret

I introduce, the Leopard 2A-7. Screw the Abrams and Sherman. The new bearing is really good, and the armor is better than before.

And zekes, don't deny I showed you the video beforehand.

Es lebe der Wüstenfuchs.

You must yaw to the left while rolling in the turret in order to use the bearing, or else it will not rotate. Other than that, this tank is durable from all aspects, with some new paneling armor for specialized applications.

A picture of our initial prototype. It was rather plain.

Your turret seems a bit long, but other than that, nice job!

I love the leopard series tanks. I really think your turret is too long in relation to the body. The rear of the tank is also missing the classic German _7 slope.

I purposely made the turret longer than the standard leopard to accommodate the carrying rack in the rear, along with the added electronic stability.

Also, the 7-slope is more likely to jam the turret. That's why I went with the linear surface.

Nice replica, not too detailed but still good-looking and functional! Have some +rep.

Quick question: Why is there a "Luftwaffe" emblem in your thread? You should maybe use this, as tanks are land forces and thus part of the Heer, the German Army.

Thank you. I should use the German Army's logo.

Also, this is the less detailed version of the tank. I have an updated and more detailed Leopard 2A7 in this forum link: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/127349-Updated-Leopard-2A7-Now-with-more-7-slope-and-a-shorter-turret
