Description
The Raubtier-class, Leopard, 1932 is a rank I German destroyer
with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X" as part of the fleet closed beta teat.
General info
Survivability and armour
With a construction made of steel and a crew of 120 sailors, the survivability of the vessel is normal, but not great. The ship may resist one or two destroyer shots, but quickly will be sunk if you do not do anything to evade.

Armament
Primary armament
The main armament of the Type 1924 leopard consists in three 127mm 12,7mm naval canons, one in the front of the ship and another two canons behind. These canons can shoot three types of ammo, first, we have the Spgr. Kpf.Z HE shell with 2 kg of equivalent TNT and a muzzle velocity of 830 m/s. This is the standard ammo for this destroyer. Next is the Sprgr.Bd.z a HE shell with more penetration in most cases but with less explosive mass, only have 1.4 kg of TNT equivalent and the same muzzle velocity. Finally, the Sprgr. Zt.Z comes with the same amount of TNT and muzzle velocity than the Sprgr.Bd.Z but with a distance fuse, with maybe useful when engaging enemy heavy bombers.
Secondary armament
Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.
Torpedo armament
Torpedoes launchers are standard equipment on many ships and boats. Torpedoes are a significant means of defeating an opponent. Evaluate the position of the torpedo launchers, discuss the ammunition available, firing specifics such as dead zones, features of the torpedoes themselves, etc. If there is no torpedo armament, remove this section.

Pros and cons
Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don’t get try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

History
The Type 24 Leopard was one of six ships produced as part of the Type 24 Torpedo boat lineup or the Raubtier (Predator/Carnivore) class. All six ships were commissioned between 1928-1929 and were produced at the Reichsmarinewerft ("Navy Yard") in Wilhelmshaven. Using electrical welding for construction, the ships also features two geared steam turbines with three boilers to drive the dual 2.35 meter propellers. The ships contained 13 watertight bulkheads Originally, the Type 1924 was planned to feature 12.7 cm guns, however, after consideration, the ships were produced with updated 10.5 cm cannons. The ships were used for a surprising amount of time, however, all but one ship was lost before 1942.
The Leopard (the ship in game) was launched in 1928, and subsequently completed in 1929. In 1932, it was fitted with experimental 12.7 cm cannons prior to their use in the Type 1934 class destroyers. It served as part of the 2nd Torpedo Boat Flotilla. The ship was lost in a collision with the mine layer "Preussen" on the 30th of April, 1940.

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
