Usage in battles
The Leopard 2A4 may feel somewhat sluggish when stock, and the DM12 HEATFS round may appear to be relatively ineffective. Prior to researching improved rounds and engine modifications, it may be wise to play conservatively.
Once the vehicle's modifications are all researched, however, the 2A4 becomes significantly more mobile and has a competitive, albeit not impressive round in the DM23 APFSDS. The 2A4 can be used comfortably in both urban and rural environments, providing the vehicle's weaknesses are kept in mind. While it is capable in most forms of engagement, it does lack the precision of the British Challenger MBTs or the extreme round velocities of the Soviet T-64/T-80 series. The 2A4 also has a particularly large and blocky profile, making for a particularly visible target in many situations.
Considering the above, a Leopard 2A4 player should utilise its great mobility and competitive gun to get into early positions to pick off unsuspecting targets, rather than attempting to engage opposing forces head-on.
Pros and cons
Pros:
Powerful engine, high top speed and acceleration
Good neutral steering system
Good gunner sight magnification for long-range engagements
Reasonably high-velocity kinetic rounds
Competent DM23 APFSDS
Turret armour is mostly effective for hull-down engagements
Primary ammunition is contained within a storage unit with blow-out panels
Generation 1 thermals in the gunner sight
Cons:
Hull armour is mediocre, particularly against kinetic rounds
The stock DM12 HEATFS round can prove relatively ineffectual when compared to DM13/DM23, particularly against targets with ERA
The gunner's optics are a weak spot, enemies who know how to aim can cripple your gun and kill your crew
The gun mantlet is relatively weak while being quite prominent, penetration can disable the gun or knock turret crew out
The turret cheeks can be penetrated by most APFSDS rounds when hit at the right angle
Secondary ammunition storage is extremely vulnerable, although this is avoidable by carrying no more than 16 rounds
Both machine guns are relatively light calibre, suffer from mediocre gun elevation and will not prove to be much more an annoyance to aircraft, particularly helicopters
Blowout panels are unreliable and have a low capacity
