The Polish Leopard 2PL main battle tank is a new squadron vehicle that will be available after the release of the “Ixwa Strike” update.
Leopard 2PL,MBT, Germany, rank VII
Pros
- Improved turret protection
- Thermal imager
- New HE round DM11
Cons
- Insufficient hull protection
The Leopard 2PL is an ongoing joint project for the modernization of the Leopard 2A4 tanks in service with the Polish army, currently being carried out by the German company Rheinmetall AG and the Polish state-owned Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa. The aim of the program is to improve the combat efficiency of the elderly Leopards to 3rd generation plus level main battle tanks.
The main areas of modernization are improving the tank's protection and firepower. The Leopard 2PL has additional modular turret armor (forehead and sides), enhanced protection of the gun mantlet. On the turret’s rear, massive boxes appeared, which under some circumstances can work as spaced armor for protection against HEAT shells. The L44 cannon remains the same, but the upgraded fire control system has modern thermal imaging equipment and is adapted for firing more powerful rounds. Since the power plant and chassis of the Leopard 2A4 remained unchanged, the additional protection of the hull had to be abandoned, as the weight of the tank approached 60 tons. In total, 128 Leopard 2A4’s in service are to be upgraded under the Leopard 2PL program.
In War Thunder, the Leopard 2PL will become a new squadron vehicle and will appear after release of the “Ixwa Strike” update. The add-on armor modules on the turret significantly improve the tank's resistance to hits from HE and to a lesser extent kinetic projectiles, and the upgraded fire-control system will allow the use of advanced rounds: the new to the game programmable high-explosive fragmentation DM11 projectile and the effective DM33 APFSDS shell.
The Leopard 2PL fire control system has all major features of modern main battle tanks: a high-quality stabilizer, night vision devices, a thermal imager and a laser rangefinder. Unfortunately, due to the high weight of the turret's armored modules, the hull armor of the Leopard 2PL remained unchanged from the 2A4 version, making it vulnerable to almost any hit in the hull, especially from sides.
The Leopard 2PL will be a squadron reward for battles after the release of the War Thunder update "Ixwa Strike". Follow our news for more details!

You can clearly see this Dozer15 just wants to complain. Yes Germany gets another Leopard 2. Germany is strong but instead of just "wAh GeRmAny geTs neW stuFf" just let it be. Other nations don't develooed much other tanks or it is still in the making like someone else already said the big Three were the main Nations in the game so it was obvious at some point that those get new stuff every now and then. Being salty doesn't helps though and is not gonna change anything
Ah yes this is big brain time... so gaijin should do whatever they want and we all should just say "perfect" as if they did always greato please think about your logic in that comment Are you saying Typ-10, ZTZ-99A+, chinese and sweden don´t have helicopters at all irl, aswell as china never got ANY radar AA, M1A2 SEP Vx/TUSK are deepfakes etc complete bullshit but i checked your statcard, ofc a german main with little expierence and knowledge, if any other nation got this u would cry germsuff
KleinerGrenadier, oh trust me KleinerGrenadier i don´t like the fact either that germany gets a new top tier vehicle. i don´t like the top tier overall. Also i amy be a german main but i don´t think germany suffers. the grind at midtier with 5.7 to 6.7 can be hard due to facing tanks with HEAT-FS armor won´t do anything. i never liked the top tier due to the fact that i started out with warthunder being striclty up to ww2 and end and thats it. give the chinese or any other country something im fine with that
A good example of developers not knowing how to properly prioritize or plan more effectively.
Why is this being added if Gaijin doesn't want to add the M1A2SEP2, or M1A2TUSK? Where is the Type 10 and Type 99A? All of the tanks I've mentioned came to service before the Leo 2 PL, yet those tanks are still not in the game. Gaijin should reconsider their decisions especially the ones made in the last few patches.
hahahahaha yes, germany needs more vehicles, no Dardo for you comrade ))))))))))
Wasn't it a little bit too soon for this you might think Gaijin?
Next Swiss Panzer 87???
We need more of those "programmable high-explosive projectiles" for more tanks in more nations or similar equivalents to them. I'm glad we're getting there slowly but surely.
so does the 2A5 and 2A6 get the DM11 aswell? (bought 2017)
U should give germany half and Russia the other half
I don't know what Russia does have to do with Poland, and Polish Leopard, but im Polish so what do I know I guess
after this, next top tier german tank going to be leopard 2 evolution, muhahaha.
