HAKI2019 Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 I thought maybe K2NO/PL have excellent armor protection,but the baseline version not.The distribution of special armor looks terrible and enemy fire will easily hit ammunition.

It’s not even 60 tons, of course the armor had to be cut somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Leclerc has "proper" side armor (even more than Leopard 2A4) at a similar weight. The K2 simply was not build with that requirement.

Serge Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Yes. K2 turret flanks are very thin. This is why there’s ERA add on. The PL standard is solving this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
