L2A7 (Leopard 2A7) turret traverse

I think the Leopard 2A7 needs a remodel that includes adding a small incision on the bottom of the front angled armour peices and a smoothing of the engine deck in order to allow full turret traverse. The armour piece above the barrel should move with the barrel when elevated. (I would insert detail of frontal armour incision here, but forum won’t allow me put picture.)

Yes I know this is a bump, but it’s my thread and I finally can post pictures now.



I outlined the armour incision in the two pictures in red, with the armour incision itself shown in the Leopard 2A7 outlined in crimson. The Leopard 2A6 is there to show how the incision allows clearance for the engine deck, and how the engine deck has a less steep angle than in game.

Also, in this image, you can see that the sharp jump up on the rear of the tank does not actually go across the whole rear engine deck but instead lowers where the cooling fans are to the level of where a Leopard 2A6 or before’s engine deck was, which allows the Leopard 2A7 to fully traverse its turret like all the other Leopard tanks but with the same Leopard 2A6-shaped armour blocks on the front of the turret.
p.s: Please make the turret be built like an actual Leopard turret in which optics and stuff is on turret roof, but the main construction design looks like Leopard 2A4 with the flat front and all the additional armour that give it its wedge shape can be knocked off as separate pieces.

It looks great! I think CC2 can fit it. I love 2A5, so 2A7 would be a great present) :smirk:

The Leopard 2A7 is the Leopard 2 variant currently in game already. I ask these changes to be implemented as part of its design upon the tank’s remodelling, when it happens to allow for full turret traverse and a more accurate representation of the vehicle.
