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!

Since we have the 2A6 now, can we please, *please* update the nation's flags, particularly Germany???
yea, would be nice to have the normal German flag instead of the 3rd reich flag
Evo3s, Also the West and East Garman Flag.
Where is puma ?
Marder first pls, where is Wiesel 2 Ozelot?
I understand the talk about poewrcreep, lets put that aside for now and let me ask the mods and devs, if DM53 is going to have by patch release or is planned to have better (realistic) performance, especially against kontact 5 ERA?
i myself am here reading all the complain about powercreep and be like, ok so this is the only powercreep, then what about the soviets getting a fuckton of vehicles that have good hull armor compared to other contries, what about that it has Ka-50/52 , what about that they get tandem atgms that they get. what about that sweden gets an extra strv122 that still is better in armor than the leopard 2a5/6 and thus will survive longer.
Where is chinese 10.0 10.3 10.7 MBT and Rador AAs? DO SOME THINGS GAIJIN.
You get a upgrade Q5 jet and a PTZ89 TD, no luck this time (again)
top tier battles just blows... No adequate maps to use top tier machines. I just leave map its its not Sinai or Second Battle of El Alamein. When these developers will understand that detailed city maps are not compatible with modern tanks...
Yeah most battle already turn into spawnkill fest in the first minute and some map wich have wide open plains as spawn are just a spawncamp fest right off the bat
this aint a 2a6, this is a modified 2a5 with a L/55 gun, ITS A BLOODY CANADIAN TANK AGAIN, please PLEASE can we get an actual german tank and not a export version of the tanks that was sold off, the actual 2a6 has a huge increase in armor by well over 100mm's+ all over the front of the tank and the tech behind the tank was generation ahead of the 2a5's with thermals and night vision going into 4th generation levels of quality and even 5th gen
That's not completely right, the first ones which the German army used was converted 2A5 with the L55
this patch is certified epic
It will drowning in endless waves of T-90/80/72s, unless Gaijin give older vehicle more powerful apfsds.
shut
This is really cool and all, but with no Abrams fix and the Soviet MBT line being the current strongest this is just making top tier US less and less competitive. Please fix the Abrams armor and give it at least the M829A1 or A2, it's very disheartening being penned by everything frontally, and not having enough pen to be competitive.
When M1A2 SEP? The M1A2 is not even on par with Leopard 2A5
I hope it comes soon the best nations get a new 10.7 tank while US doesnt even have a tank worthy of 10.7 I also hope that it will be a new tank and not just an mod for the A2
