Zipuli Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Anyone got the time to do a Finnish skin for the Leopardo 2E? The pattern and colours can be applied from my Finnish Leo 2A4 skin. I am currently very busy with other things!This would be the Leopard 2A6 Finland bought from the Netherlands! =) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Killjoy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 On it! Are the insignia's different or more or less the same as the 2A4? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipuli Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 On it! Are the insignia's different or more or less the same as the 2A4? Wicked! Roundels on the turret sides like in 2A4... Maybe the register number stars with "Ps 274-XXX" as Leo 2A4 is "Ps 273-XXX"? They should be on the same spot in the hull =) PS. The deal was just agreed on, and 100 Leo 2A6s are bought and deliveries will take place 2015-2019 =) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted January 17, 2014 Members Share Posted January 17, 2014 Didn't the Netherlands opt for the same Leo 2A6 as Germany - without the turret roof add-on armor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted January 17, 2014 Members Share Posted January 17, 2014 ...wouldn't then the German Leo 2A5 not be the better basis for the skin request? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaSierra Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 And in sweden we got 42 new lead batteries to the STRV122 for the same amount of money as the Finns bought their 2A6:s... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipuli Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 ...wouldn't then the German Leo 2A5 not be the better basis for the skin request? Too short barrel man! Size matters Though armourwise the 2A5 is closer... no extra stuff on front hull or turret top. Maybe the 2A6 will be in the next upgrade The NL has a map screen thingy inside, the 2A5 does not have it seems. So it's 50-50 which one represents the 2A6 closer =) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maj.Hans Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd be down for a Leo2E and a 2A5 skin for Finland.Also, Ssnake, might it be possible to simply add some of the L55 ammunition options to the existing Leopard 2A5 ammo selections?A 2A5 loaded with the L55 versions of DM53/DM12/DM11 would be a 100% performance matching vehicle to a 2A6, right?Which brings me to another point, what kind of ammo is more appropriate for use in scenarios with Finn Leopards? I tried to find out if they used the same DM33 that everybody seems to have, or if they went to DM53, but I don't recall finding anything out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to find out if they used the same DM33 that everybody seems to have, or if they went to DM53, but I don't recall finding anything out.In 2007 there were news that Finns bought DM53 rounds... So those and DM12(A3?) are in use along with older DM33 I guess... If they still exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipuli Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hmm... Or maybe eSim adds the barrel from Leopardo to the 2A5 model and call it 2A6? Pretty please 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
