Leopard 2AV (PT-19/T19-AV), MBT, event vehicle, Germany, rank VI.
Features:

• Perfect dynamic
  
• Spaced armor
  
• Effective APFSDS rounds
  
• Poor protection of the hull sides

The Leopard 2AV is the main prize of the huge Summer Quest event, this main battle tank will take rank VI in the German armored vehicles tech tree. The tank is a transitional version from the Leopard 1 to the serial Leopard 2: the vehicle has the 105 mm L7A3 cannon familiar from the first series, while the FCS, engine and armor layout correspond to the early Leopards of the second series.

The nomenclature of the shells in the 105mm gun includes HEATFS, HESH and a pair of APFSDS shells. Armor-piercing DM23 and DM33 will become the most popular in battles due to their excellent armor penetration and smoother ballistics.




Leopard 2AV keeps the glorious tradition of excellent mobility of the series. The vehicle has a very high power-to-weight ratio, the tank picks up quickly and maneuvers perfectly.

The new Leopard is much better protected than the representatives of the first series. Combined and spaced armor appeared on the tank, which protects well from anti-tank missiles and shape-charged shots. The armor plates of the hull and turret in the front are at rational angles, which in some cases helps to ricochet kinetic projectiles. In general, the PT-19/T19-AV is as protected as Leopard-2A4. Still, almost all sub-caliber AP rounds from enemy tank guns easily pierce the tank armor, and thin sides can even be penetrated by autocannons.




The Leopard 2AV is a master of many trades in combat. Firstly, the tank is genius in flanking. An accurate gun, a fairly high rate of fire, and effective DM33 AP rounds allow it to be used as a sniper. Its high mobility, good hull and turret traverses give it an undeniable advantage in the cramped conditions of urban gunplays. Whatever style the commander chooses, the Leopard will not let you down!

The daring and fast Leopard 2AV will be yours for free for completing the tasks in the big summer event “Summer Quest”. Feel free to take on the tasks, it's not difficult, and the prizes are definitely worth the effort!
