Actual Leopard 2 Commander Plays the Leopard 2 PSO MBT in War Thunder! How hard is the grind on the Leopard 2 PSO? Let's find out. ↓ Social Links ↓ ➤ Twitch: / panzerpaw ➤ Twitter: / panzerpaw ➤ Discord: / discord ---
The Swedish naming conventions for tanks is (Strv (stridsvagn - literally meaning tank. Then the number (122, the two first numbers indicate the type of gun caliber (12 cm (120MM) and the third is what version of the tank in the series it is (12(2) in this case the 2nd version of the series s the 2a4 (Strv 12(1) was the first tank in the series. So it's name means (tank 12cm caliber 2'nd version)
That's basically like the U.S Army's weapon naming system. For example, the M16A1E1 is Model 16 Alteration 1 Experimental 1. Neat little detail. XM also means Experimental Model, but if you were designing a rifle prototype, you would put it as, for example, XM31. If you changed the design slightly, it would be XM31A1. If you added a new, experimental feature, like a magnetic assist system, then it would be XM31A1E1.
@@PanzerPaw that is true, but there is the driver's port just below the breech, which is also a massive weak spot and is a one shot from what I've seen
Yeah I just don't trust the round turrets. They can bounce shots you wouldn't expect. Plus, with lag, you might not hit that exact spot you want to especially on turrets.
@@PanzerPaw oh yeah, I forgot about the lag. I have to quit war thunder early because my computer can't even play it on lower graphics xd. Btw do you mind doing a video on the stryker if you haven't done one already?
Shit I was hoping you were going to legit spade it Then I realized the video would be 12 hours long because gaijin thinks that’s how long we want to spend spading a vehicle Keep up the good work I really enjoy your videos
PSO demonstrator (that is modelled in the game) is actually based on the 2a6 atleast in the hull, well it's 2a6ex actually so it should be better than standard(in game) 2a6 as it use d tech rather than c in standard 2a6
I just stumbled across this channel and Im impressed. I love your videos and i have binged 5 so far! I am curious. As a dane, we just received our last leopard 2a7. What is the difference of the pso compared to the 2a7?
Not really that much to say other than it's similar to the PSO but also quite different to the 2A7+. Overall, it's an upgrade over the PSO but with not as strong an urban operations focus. Just think of it as an all-round more versatile tank than the PSO and more modern.
Depending on the Tank, I take 3-5 extra rounds beyond the ready rack. In the event you have a 10-17 kill match you’ll need it. I’ve gotten up to 9, and ran out of rounds. So I found myself upping my rounds. And sometimes I go up to even 19 kills because I didn’t run dry! It’s really a thought process of: “How many rounds can I realistically get off before I get hit in X spot”. But you’ll have to weigh that with ”If I didn’t take that many extra rounds, I’d be alive”. It’s a balance. Because if you feel like you’ll immediately get hit, then ofc don’t take any extra beyond 1. But, if you find yourself firing an average of 3-5 shots before getting even targeted, hit, or penetrated you’re probably good to go a number between that, and use those extra for high kill matches!
I think the downward faxing exhaust could really help outside of thermals, probably 75% of the times i see enemies without thermals is me seeing their exhaust over debris/through gaps in bushes
All modern heat is supposed to be tandem in some way, therefore increasing the penetration of spaced Armour, the reason why ERA exists is to counter the fact that all HEAT warheads are tandem (meaning they have two charges). The reason for them having a pointy tip is cuz it has a small tandem charge there which also ignites the main one once its finished detonating.
@PanzerPaw Can you do a vid using the M109A1 with actual tactics i got it because ive had players on the opposite side using them and i couldn't pen but when i tried it they cut through me like butter. So I'd like to know good tactics for it of you know any that is. If not the M10 how about the T95.
I saw you struggling to kill the T90M. Every top tier MBT of the Russians is very week at the breach and under the front armor. If you shot right under the upper front plate it’s always a one shot or you take out the auto loader.
Meh 1 kill for upgrade you and your spoiled CC power with free stuff stock upgrade are never that easy why don’t you use actual number and calculate each match RP now that would be a real challenge Well calling it a challenge is a stretch when literally every normal player who doesn’t have your privilege will have to go through anyway
People always say that because the demonstrator model was built on the 2A6EX hull. But the PSO is a totally separate program that also started prior to the 2A6. Hence, it's not a 2A6. Or even an A5. It's a PSO. But gameplay wise, it's gonna feel like an A5 more than an A6.
your like me but ive been learning gradually, i see in the comments lower plate lower front plate!! which is true but sometimes in the heat of it you forget and just take the quickest shot but lately ive been really focusing on that lower plate and let me tell you it works especially with my horrible penning type 16 premium it will always net a one shot and in my type 74 g with 400mm of pen i always one shot in full uptiers leopards in the lower front plate but if they are hull down i dont even bother or i try lobbing a hesh on top of turret
I'm seeing that you don't know where to shoot in Abrams just saying you shooting Abrams at the turret ring or the driver's hatch not it's cheeks ik u don't play top tier u said so ur self I'm just trying to help
L2A4 and L2SG. PSO is an upgrade package so it's not an actual tank on its own that anyone operates. But, some countries might have bought parts from it.
Seeing a real tank person man thung perform similarily to me makes me feel better about my skull level, previouslyu my only frame of reference for average was spookston so ya know i felt like quite the shitter.
More like it wasn't an issue previously since a) flammable devices weren't commonly used against tanks at that point and b) tanks typically wouldn't have been in reach of any incendiary weapons that weren't air dropped or artillery launched. That all changes with urban operations when molotovs or similar can reach the vehicle.
Ik this is probably a silly question but u seem to know alot about German armor did u serve at all in a German tank crew or work on leopards at some point?
Speaking of the strength of gun barrels. I'm sure you've seen the images of T series turrets that have been blown off and landed barrel into the ground, not bending or breaking it all. I'd imagine an apfsds into one would definitely render it useless, but short of that, I don't think a standard HE would do it.
While it's true that tank guns are strong enough to resist damage from impacts, the situation you described there would still render the gun unusable due to micro fracturing. Or at least severely shorten it's lifespan. So HE vs AP hitting the gun in the game eh.. I think they'll both be just as bad lol
30:55 u should have attached the winch on it’s opposite side tracks of where u were pulling him to actually flip it like u did in the end. Otherwise you’re just gonna drag it

"Just like the simulations"
The Swedish naming conventions for tanks is (Strv (stridsvagn - literally meaning tank.

So it's name means (tank 12cm caliber 2'nd version)
I partition for gaijin to give all Swedish people the whole Swedish Tech tree of both air and ground.
It's the same like German right? like panzer mean tank so (tank lv/4)
That's basically like the U.S Army's weapon naming system. For example, the M16A1E1 is Model 16 Alteration 1 Experimental 1. Neat little detail. XM also means Experimental Model, but if you were designing a rifle prototype, you would put it as, for example, XM31. If you changed the design slightly, it would be XM31A1.

@@johngellare3507 Could you explain me the Sep v2 with this logic?
@@ajaton_ekstra M1A2 (Model 1 Alteration 2) SEP (System Enhancement Package) V (Version) 2.
Tip:ALWAYS aim for the breech area or the lower front plate on mbts. They are very vulnerable and will guarantee a one shot 90% of the time
True, unless it's a T series tank. Then the corners near the fenders are one shots. Much harder to hit to turret rings or breeches on those anyway.
@@PanzerPaw that is true, but there is the driver's port just below the breech, which is also a massive weak spot and is a one shot from what I've seen
Yeah I just don't trust the round turrets. They can bounce shots you wouldn't expect. Plus, with lag, you might not hit that exact spot you want to especially on turrets.
If it’s nato shoot it literally anywhere if it’s Russia call for backup

Btw do you mind doing a video on the stryker if you haven't done one already?
“Flankers on our flanks and not SU27s cause thankfully that’s not been added yet” That aged well didn’t it 😭
Panzerpaw needs more subs He puts out some of the most entertaining war thunder videos and i feel he deserves more
Domination Thunder is SO fun
Domination THunder
Saw this comment 20sec before he said it in the vid😅
Ballz
WT does have working aux power units ingame, however they are limited almost entirely to SPAA's like the M16 MGMC and the Skink
Man this game of Domination was really thundering this time
Domination Thunder
Shit I was hoping you were going to legit spade it
Then I realized the video would be 12 hours long because gaijin thinks that’s how long we want to spend spading a vehicle
Keep up the good work I really enjoy your videos
I grinded Britain first for the turret armor to play hull down, problem is britain isnt in the domination thunder meta
Pretty sure it’s pronounced Merkava but I’m not exactly sure

have you heard about the new game Domination thunder?

stop shooting the cheeks on abrams, they have 800mm composite there, shoot hull there a max of only 350mm composite
Love the video
I don’t know why but your videos always hype me to grind 😮

gud challenge (i luv the videos :) )

38:54 the "Leeeroyyy Jenkinnnnns" got me so hard xD
I think the downward faxing exhaust could really help outside of thermals, probably 75% of the times i see enemies without thermals is me seeing their exhaust over debris/through gaps in bushes

Domination thunder
APU's would be a great addition to the game in general -- they could even help your tank cool off so its harder to see w/ thermal sights too?
If thermals worked well enough to need it, yeah maybe
that comment was completely right, the PSO is based on the 2A6EX demonstrator numberr 2, equipped with an upgraded 2A5 turret.
Blud shot an Abrams exactly where you dont shoot an Abrams
Panzer's the best

Man.. i still need 270k RP for this beauty.

Imagine if all it took 1 kill, or 2 assist to unlock mods! IMAGINE! UGH YES
Isnt smoke a modification?
1 kill per upgrade?? lucky youtuber lol it was more like 30 per upgrade for me XDDD
domination thunder.
Youre my new favorite warthunder TH-camr been watching you for a few days now

Would love APUs to be added. All challenger 2s have the GUE so would be nice to use them and turn the engine off for extra stealth.
The PSO is based on the A6 it just has the A5 gun because its made for Urban combat.

in hebrew you call it merkava which translates to carriage, pronouncing it throughoutly with any preticular emphasis on any part.
I'm seeing that you don't know where to shoot in Abrams just saying you shooting Abrams at the turret ring or the driver's hatch not it's cheeks ik u don't play top tier u said so ur self I'm just trying to help
Panzer, was the PSO the tank you were a commander of? If not, which tank was it?
L2A4 and L2SG. PSO is an upgrade package so it's not an actual tank on its own that anyone operates. But, some countries might have bought parts from it.
Seeing a real tank person man thung perform similarily to me makes me feel better about my skull level, previouslyu my only frame of reference for average was spookston so ya know i felt like quite the shitter.
So I guess it took Germany a bit longer to realize that anything exposed on the engine deck is a bad idea when flammable devices are used?
More like it wasn't an issue previously since a) flammable devices weren't commonly used against tanks at that point and b) tanks typically wouldn't have been in reach of any incendiary weapons that weren't air dropped or artillery launched.
That all changes with urban operations when molotovs or similar can reach the vehicle.
You should do this challenge on the AMX30 B2.
you have some crazy adhd bro lmao
Honestly... yeah kinda
@@PanzerPaw still love the content big boy
does anyone always gets matched against veichles of higher rank
Ik this is probably a silly question but u seem to know alot about German armor did u serve at all in a German tank crew or work on leopards at some point?
Based on the channel description he was a former leopard commander
yea if only stockgrind were that easy 1 kill unlock 1 part lmao
@panzerpaw why is your ping always so high I've seen it in a few videos and was wondering
No way PanzerPaw told the future, the flanker did get added :O
Your videos are entertaining when you play like that

I love the battle of Poland map, but only the one with 2 points
0:49 bruh i thought horizontal drive meant neutral steering
If someone is fighting a fire, does this count as a fire fight?
Didnt The leopard PSO had a better thermal optics? Or im just wrong?
As fair as I know, it's still uses the EMES-15 sight module so nothing changes. In the game, it's exactly the same too
@@PanzerPaw oh ok, i thinked it had the thermals of the 2a7, thanks!
That right there was Russian bias, let me tell ya that.
