The Leopard 2A6 is a further development of the well-known German main battle tank, combining the superb protection of preceding variants with greater firepower. Soon, tankers will get the chance to command the modern Leopard 2A6 as it becomes the new crowning jewel of the German ground forces tree in the “New Power” War Thunder update!
Briefly: Based on the 2A5 modification, the Leopard 2A6 combines its predecessors qualities with a lengthened Rh 120 L55 cannon, sporting improved ballistic properties.
Leopard 2A6, main battle tank, Germany, VII rank.
Pros
- Improved gun
- Excellent mobility and a great turret protection
Cons
- Insufficient hull protection
Following the rollout of the Leopard 2A5 modification with enhanced protection, German engineers, in cooperation with international partners, immediately began working on improving the MBTs firepower.
This was achieved by, among other minor modifications, lengthening the Rh 120 L44 cannon by 1,320 mm, thus creating the Rh 120 L55. As a result, the Leopard 2A6’s firing range was extended in addition to other ballistic properties being improved.
Production of the vehicle began in the early 2000s by converting older Leopard 2A4 and A5 models to the new standard. Initially, around 225 Leopard 2A6s were produced for the German Bundeswehr. Apart from domestic use, the Leopard 2A6 also sees service with Dutch, Canadian, Greek and Portugese forces, among others. In particular, the Leopard 2A6 was deployed with Canadian forces to Afghanistan in 2007, marking its first operational use.
The Leopard 2A6 is still in service today and, along with other variants, forms the spearhead of the armoured units of the German Bundeswehr.
In War Thunder, the Leopard 2A6 will become the new crowning jewel of the German ground forces tree in the next major update coming to the game. Inheriting the crown from its respected predecessor, the Leopard 2A6 boasts the same qualities as the 2A5 which precedes it and combines them with improved firepower, courtesy of the Rh 120 L55 - a lengthened modification of the well-known Rh 120 cannon!
As already mentioned, the Leopard 2A6 retains all the features and performance specifications tankers are already most familiar with on the Leopard 2A5. The distinguishing difference between the two vehicles, however, is the presence of the new Rh 120 L55 cannon on the Leopard 2A6. This lengthened version of one of the most widespread weapons found on top rank vehicles features increased range and accuracy over the standard L44 modification thanks to increased muzzle velocity.
Furthermore, not only will the existing defining qualities of the Rh 120 cannon become even more emphasised on the Leopard 2A6, but it will also become even deadlier thanks to the availability of modern kinetic ammunition. As a result, the Leopard 2A6 will become more effective at destroying hostile armoured targets, thanks to its more powerful ammunition and improved accuracy at range. Thus, the Leopard 2A6 will well complement the existing German top lineup, joining it as a dedicated long-range marksman and a true force to be reckoned with on the battlefields in War Thunder!
The Leopard 2A6 will arrive to the top rank of the German ground forces tree with the release of the “New Power” War Thunder update, coming to the game very soon! In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news as we continue to unveil what exciting new content the upcoming update has in store for you. Until then, happy hunting tankers!

im still waiting for my commanders override fire firing the main gun and coax using the citv ability for the m1a2
damn, all these people asking for this and that. probably the same people who dont even play the game enough to grind the new vehicles out. get a grip people, its a f2p game.
Players in Dev Q&A: Will you give the CR2 its L27? The L26 not really sufficient at 10.7. Gaijin 🐌: Not it's current rounds (L26) is sufficient. "It really is not sufficient at all." Gaijin 🐌 months later: Gives Leopard 2A6 DM33 British mains: "WOOOOOOOOOW GAIJIN WOOOOOOOOOW Me: LMAO, 10.7 is cancer.....play 9.7 Britain instead.
Please Gaijin give us new Realistic/Historical Game Modes like Realistic Battles but without markers (Allies, Enemies) and with third person (or only with cockpits) but with controls like in Realistic Battles. And only vehicles that fought against each other as in Reality (WW2, Korean War, etc...,). I really hate to play in one team for example: As German with Japan, Sweden, etc...,. or with my WW2 ME 262 against Post War Jets... Please Gaijin Do It! :)
Could we maybe see M829A1 or M829A2 for the M1A1 and M1A2, respectively? I'm glad the new stryker has M900, but the newer Abrams' need better ammunition to penetrate these tough new MBT's.
I hope that since the leo 2a6 get the dm53, the leclerc s2 will get its OFL120 F2, which is equivalent to the dm63. The Leclerc S2 has less armor and survivability than the leo2a6, so it should get a better round without even mentionning that its main advantage, the FCS, is a mechanic not present yet in WT. The real question is tho why dm53 and not 43? the 43 would be around 575 as its equivalent to the OFL F1. So if it is DM53 for germany, it should be OFL120 f2 for France. Don't CP leclerc plz
No OFL F2, not even the AZURE amor package, its just a copy paste S1 with a few added bits
i like to see Hellenic camouflage for this one 2a6 that we alyready have on army
gib yak-141
Is the M1A2 going to receive a new shell or a armor package to keep up with T90 and Leopard2a6?
nope dev server had nothing new on abrams
2A6 will be slain by russian aas in no time... just like all earlier versions... and it will cost 20k sl repair so forget about it
