Leopard 2PL Full Squadron Vehicle Review - Is It Worth Buying Or Grinding? [War Thunder]

Let's all face it - the Leopard 2PL gets a bad rap from all the noobs playing it. Don't believe the poor performance from noobs, though, as the PL is an excellent squadron vehicle. Is it worth grinding for (or even purchasing) over top of the other high BR squadron vehicles, like the M1A1 AIM and T-80UK? I go over all of that and more in my full Leopard 2PL review.

[@olekzajac5948]

It should have access to DM63 btw - part of the modernization program was upgrading the gun to withstand higher pressures.

[@skillquestion3482]

no tank with a 120mm has dm63 ub warthunder

[@Collat3ralD4mage]

It probably doesn’t have it so that Gaijin can balance it and Germany already has the best penetrating rounds

[@Texas_Engineer_Mike]

@@skillquestion3482 DM53 and DM63m are literally the same in WT

[@DaaVinci]

@@Collat3ralD4mage *Russian magic armor enters the chat* i get so many Bounces on VERY good shots with ~10° angling to their side hull and it doesnt care them at all

[@Collat3ralD4mage]

@@DaaVinci yeah my Russian tanks survive WAY to many shots that should have penetrated

[@juniorhih1]

It's a very good tank, I just wish poland would've moved the gunner sight to the top of the turret like the leo 2a5/2a6

[@maggyyolokraut1941]

Poland didn't make the armor package, it's revolution pack from Rheinmetall and only half of it. The only thing they upgraded them self's was the optics afaik. So it's not something Poland had any control over and if you want to see the full package look at the Leo 2RI or the Leo 2SG

[@olekzajac5948]

It's not that easy. It would require a redesign big enough so that it would be essentially a new turret.

[@maggyyolokraut1941]

@@olekzajac5948 no there are several examples of 2A4s being upgrade to the 2A5 Standard. You can see it when the wedge armor is removed. there are two big welds where the sight used to be.

[@ricolives1166]

I've had it for awhile, since it came out really. However I like the M1 AIM more because in my experience the turret bounces shells more and you have more shells in the turret at the ready. I just love that.

[@Optimusprime56241]

I mean they are basically the same thing tbh

[@CJonWarthunder]

I have the M1 Aim and i can say after playing it for many hours, ive only bounced turret shots maybe 20-30 times at most, with russian and german mains experiences, they tend to aim for the breech and gun like its muscle memory

[@TomPrickVixen]

Also at least the DM33 is a rank 1 upgrade, unlike on the M1A1 AIM, where by the time u get to the APFSDS (without GE) u regret that u ever touched the US ground tree. But even after that the tank - like many hyped up top US stuff - is quite disappointing (for me at least), and that is one of the best version of the Abrams!

[@casualspawnpeeking3680]

All of the Abrams are gonna feel like that until they get their depleted uranium inserts but I doubt gaijins gonna add them cause then most tanks would have a very hard time penning the Abrams

[@hellisia-celeste-evangelin8925]

​@@casualspawnpeeking3680bro m1a1 aim and m1a2 and m1a2 sep have the depleted uranium armor why do you think they can wistand that mutch shoot in front turret without getting pen when m1 abrams has 800mm nera and get pen easy by 3bm42

[@stefane8512]

Pro German Player Bought the Leopard 2A6 before the 2PL but have them in the same lineup. Its just horrible having brainless teamates and having to carry the whole team, The first thing I love about this tank is the thermal sights, Speed, armor and Gun. If you cant at least score 1-2 kills in this thing you should go back to 5.7! I love Rheinmetall's products!

[@BoleDaPole]

You mean have a 1.5 kdr? Sometimes you get killed 2 seconds out of spawn, even the best pro German players can't counter that.

[@cvrbon6]

First squadron vehicle I unlocked. Unfortunately my best tanks are both of the 2A4's at 10.0, researching the 2A5 though finally

[@MrPhoenixWT]

The leopard 2pl should have extra armour add ons, or just the same hull as the STRV Swedish variants because the leopard 2pl was a newer design than the 2a7

[@schoch3847]

I'm actually only 140k away from getting it, but I'm not at all on that br so I changed my squadron research to the A-4E lol

[@Mycikakat]

TANKENSTEIN YOURE THE BEST Youve helped me about the squadron rp info in another vid and now this!

[@themuffinlord6442]

This tank got weirdly high survivable rate for me

[@greyfoxlight3490]

Much higher survivability than russian mbt imo

[@themuffinlord6442]

@@greyfoxlight3490 we got rl proof that the Russian tank aren’t very survival oriented lol

[@greyfoxlight3490]

@@themuffinlord6442 gotta agree to that.

[@Conraf]

i have almost 1.1k games in 2PL and got free ace crew for it and i must say: get it - one of the best mbt when properly used

[@erikaserikas8239]

how to use it properly?

[@eikki039]

I dont know why it is at 11.0, it was well balanced at 10.7

[@copybookspoon6744]

BR Decompression.

[@eikki039]

@@copybookspoon6744 Yep but the good thing about the Leo 2pl was that if somehow you got a downtier match you could play well, without facing T-80BVM and the 11.0(now 11.3) Abrams. And now all the matches are at 11.3 or 11.7. Ive played like 20 or more matches and none of them where at 11.0

[@eikki039]

With the Leo 2PL it always brings you to 11.3 or 12.0

[@waltermodel9730]

Really great tank However if i would grind for a squadron tank i would choose the M1A1 Aim

[@MaiorCJ]

Protip lock fps on 101 or 120, game stopps being choppy and looks acceptable on high HZ monitor

[@vitalijmartynenko1097]

Guys I don’t which one to buy Leo 2 PL or 2A4 Panzerbataillon 123 since this is basically the same model

[@AlienSlaier]

Would you recommend getting this or the leopard 2 pzbtl premium, I want to play with a friend who has the t-80 uk

[@Texasmule]

I would grind it out but it takes centuries to get to 8.9 before wt extend the tree and make it even harder to get to top tier, with that being said it fits my tiger 2 play style anyway.

[@natecondy4125]

If your thinking of getting this tank or any of the other squad MBT’S get some practice in with the test drive

[@thelegendarysin6647]

I've stopped earning squadron points 2 big updates ago even tho I'm in an active squadron, made a bug report a week ago and gaijin still hasn't addressed it. Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem either. Like come on gaijin.

[@Jovan007]

maybe next video about russian squadron su plane?

[@wouterpeters]

Well I got it already so I'm just here to see if I should jump off a bridge or not

[@MrGrim2u1987]

Good review 9.5/10

[@Commenter495]

ahh i loved this video thats nine mins long and was released 1 min ago!

[@brianyang2211]

There is a problem with the rating scale. If for example, you gave X tank a 5, would it be Subpar, Average, or Decent /Good?

[@kvac9550]

Can you do a stock to spaded episode for the m3a3 Bradley

[@shikikanaz4624]

8:40 impossible... a 2s38 dying to fuel explosion?

[@yuanfurbax]

I think Leopard PL isn't as good as the Leopard 2A6 bc it's just a Leopard 2A4 with extra armor and made for poland

[@10957558]

We need polish tech tree 😜

[@tyresedoaquarius4968]

Can you do one on the abrams

A great sniper tank and I am doing the tech tree with this tank with the 123 leopard

how do these work for grinding out tech trees do they just not

They work just like tech tree vehicles, they don't get any premium bonuses

Actually better then 2A5/6

no bruh
