Leopard 1 (Family)

2021-09-14T19:38:14Z

U32550798: /* Rank VI */ Added C2A1 to the family list

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Leopard 1 (Family)}}
==Description==
The '''Leopard''' (or '''Leopard 1''') is a main battle tank designed and produced by Porsche in West Germany that first entered service in 1965. Developed in an era when HEAT warheads were thought to make conventional heavy armour of limited value, the Leopard focused on firepower in the form of the German-built version of the British L7 105-mm gun, and improved cross-country performance that was unmatched by other designs of the era.

=== German Combat Variants ===

==== '''Leopard 1''' ====

==== '''Leopard 1A1''' ====
After the first batch of Leopard 1s, the next three batches were of an improved model, called the Leopard 1A1. The 1A1 model added a stabilizer for the gun, developed by Cadillac Gage. Additionally, a thermal sleeve was added to the gun to prevent overheating, and side skirts were added to the sides of the tank, in order to provide more protection for the tracks. The rubber blocks fitted with two-pins on the tracks was changed to a one-pin track style.

'''Leopard 1A1A1'''

All the Leopards of the first 4 batches were upgraded to the Leopard 1A1A1 standard between 1974 and 1977. They received additional turret armor developed by Blohm & Voss.

'''Leopard 1A1A2'''

Leopard 1A1A1 tanks with the PZB 200 image intensification system, mounted in a box above and to the right of the gun. The system was originally found on the Leopard 2 series.

'''Leopard 1A1A3'''

Leopard 1A1A2 tanks with a new SEM80/90 all-digital radio.

'''Leopard 1A1A4'''

Leopard 1A1A3 tanks that had upgraded image intensifiers.

==== '''Leopard 1A2''' ====
The first 232 tanks of the fifth batch were Leopard 1A2s. The Leopard 1A2 had an up-armored turret, so they never received the Blohm and Voss armor upgrades, but they were upgraded similarly to the Leopard 1A1 tanks.

'''Leopard 1A2A1'''

Leopard 1A2 tanks that were upgraded with the same PZB 200 image intensification system as the Leopard 1A1A2.

'''Leopard 1A2A2'''

Leopard 1A2 tanks upgraded with the SEM80/90 all-digital radio.

'''Leopard 1A2A3'''

Leopard 1A2 tanks upgraded with both the SEM80/90 all-digital radio and the PZB 200 image intensification system.

==== '''Leopard 1A3''' ====
The last 110 vehicles of the fifth batch were of the Leopard 1A3 model. The 1A3 model was fitted with a new turret. The armor consisted of two steel plates with a plastic filling in-between them, and the mantlet was of a wedge shape. The commander received an improved TRP 2A independent sight.

'''Leopard 1A3A1'''

Leopard 1A3 tanks upgraded with the PZB 200 image intensification system.

'''Leopard 1A3A2'''

Leopard 1A3 tanks upgraded with the SEM80/90 all-digital radio.

'''Leopard 1A3A3'''

Leopard 1A3 tanks upgraded with both the SEM80/90 all-digital radio and the PZB 200 image intensification system.

==== '''Leopard 1A4''' ====
The sixth batch of 250 tanks consisted of the Leopard 1A4 variant. The 1A4 version featured a new computerized fire control system (FCS) and an EMES 12A1 sighting system. The commander received a new PERI R12 independent night sighting system. The ammunition load was reduced to 55 rounds, 42 of which were stored to the left of the driver.

==== '''Leopard 1A5''' ====
'''Leopard 1 "Verbeterd"'''

The Netherlands improved on the Leopard 1 model and simply called it the ''Leopard 1 {{Annotation|Verbeterd|Improved}}'', which is currently in service with the Chilean Army. The ''Leopard 1 Verbeterd'' is thought to be equivalent to the German Leopard 1A5.

==== '''Leopard 1A6''' ====
The Leopard 1A6 was a project to equip the Rheinmetall 120mm L/44 gun on a Leopard 1. It used a Leopard 1A1A1 hull but with an up-armored turret, with the 120 mm gun instead of the previous 105 mm gun. The project was cancelled in 1987 before the design entered production; the Leopard 2 had already entered service and the Leopard 1A6 was not a large enough improvement over the 1A5 to be worth the cost.

=== Modified and Derivative Vehicles ===
'''Flakpanzer "Gepard" (German)'''

'''Flakpanzer "Gepard" (Dutch)'''

'''Leopard 1 Marksman'''

=== Foreign Variants and Upgrades ===
'''Leopard C1'''

'''Leopard C2'''

'''Leone'''

An license-built Italian Leopard 1A3 for export sale, differing from the German produced version only in being tropicalized for Middle Eastern conditions. The project was cancelled for unknown reasons after a single prototype was built.

QF 2-pounder (40 mm)

2020-10-02T17:39:54Z

U32550798: /* Available ammunition */ Added ammo table

== Description ==

Following the 1935 budget in Britain, the Government decided to standardise the armaments employed by both the Royal Tank Regiment and anti-tank gun companies to be identical. The first tank to utilise this gun was the Cruiser Mk. I (A9) which entered service in 1938. This tank, whilst not in the game, saw service in North Africa and France alongside other tanks such as the A13.

Seeing action during the Phony War and the Retreat to Dunkirk, it was first used on the battlefield by the Belgian Army, however many of the guns that were produced had to be abandoned following the evacuation of Dunkirk. Stockpiles in Britain would eventually be distributed to the Army before they were phased out for the QF 6-pounder, and the remaining guns were sent to Home Guard Anti-tank sections across the United Kingdom.

The gun was proven to show its effectiveness against the early Panzer IIs and Panzer IIIs however it could also pierce elements of the later Panzer IVs until the E variant.

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* High-penetrating round
* Quick reload
* Decent muzzle velocity

'''Cons:'''

* Lack of explosive filler means multiple shots could be needed to take out a target
* 3 of the 4 available shells lose penetration very quickly over range

== History ==

The gun proved its effectiveness against early Panzer IIs and Panzer IIIs and proved effective even later against more advanced enemies where it could also pierce elements of the Panzer IVs until the E variant arrived to the battlefield.

Examinations of the gun on angled surfaces showed good results in the 1936 tests.<ref>Bird, Lorrin; Lingston, Robert (2001). World War II Ballistics: Armor and Gunnery. Albany, NY USA: Overmatch Press. p. 60</ref>

* {{Specs-Link|us_m4a5_ram_2}}

== General info ==
The 6pdr fires quickly, accurately and with good velocity but due to low caliber and no HE filler you will have to shoot intelligently and precisely to maximise damage to the internals.

=== Comparison with analogues ===
The gun is similar to the Russian 57mm guns and can be played similarly but it should be noted that the Russian 57mm uses higher propellant ammunition and as such has better penetration and velocity in general, your advantage over this is a slightly faster reload.

== Usage in battles ==
The gun is low caliber and low damage but features good handling, reload speed and penetration for it's battle rating.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Good reload speed
* Good velocity
* Good gun handling

'''Cons:'''

* No explosive filler
* Low caliber

=== Comparison with analogues ===
The gun is similar to the Russian 57mm guns and can be played similarly but it should be noted that the Russian 57mm uses higher propellant ammunition and as such has better penetration and velocity in general, your advantage over this is a slightly faster reload.

== Usage in battles ==

6pdr OQF Mk.V (57 mm)

2020-10-02T17:25:39Z

U32550798: /* General info */ Added general info

== Description ==
The 6 Pounder OQF Mk. V is the tank version of the 6 Pounder OQF Mk. IV anti tank gun, and as with the Mk IV it features the longer L/50 barrel length. For this reason it has slightly better velocity and penetration to it's close sibling the Mk. III 6 Pounder. The gun features excellent reload speed and good ballistic properties but as with most British guns will lack HE filler in their AP ammunition.

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===

* {{Specs-Link|uk_a_22b_mk_3_churchill_1942}}
* {{Specs-Link|germ_infanterie_kampfpanzer_churchill}}

== General info ==
The 6pdr fires quickly, accurately and with good velocity but due to low caliber and no HE filler you will have to shoot intelligently and precisely to maximise damage to the internals of the enemy.
