 '''Arcade:''' In Arcade, the Leopard 2 presents great mobility that can be used to effectively engage targets. The arcade spotting system on the mini-map means reaction is heightened to respond to any enemy movement.
-'''Realistic:''' With the lack of enemy marker, it is important to not overextend the Leopard 2's position into enemy territory without allies, otherwise a lone enemy tank could plant a shell onto the sides, effectively disabling if not disabling the Leopard 2.

 == History of creation and combat usage ==
-The Leopard 2A5 is a third-generation main battle tank (MBT) developed by the German company [[Template:TankManufacturer KMW|Krauss-Maffei Wegmann]] (KMW). It is an upgrade to the [[Leopard 2A4]], which was the mainstay of the German Army in the late 1990s. The Leopard 2A5 was first introduced in 1995 and served as the backbone of the German Army until the [[Leopard 2A6]] replaced it in 2001.
