whats the difference between leopard 2A5 and 2A6

[Mario]

i dont know can someone tell me whats the difference because i feel like i got scammed

[Jaes]

The guns are the primary difference. The 2A5 has the L/44 120mm which is the same gun on the previous Leopard 120mm variants. The 2A6 gets the longer barreled L/55 120mm and has a higher penetration potential with all the APFSDS rounds it has access to.

Fundamentally, you're not going to be playing it any different than the 2A5, but you'll be able to penetrate certain spots on opposing tanks easier than the 2A5 can. I would just make sure to stick to engaging the same weakspots you normally would, they'll just end up being more effective penetrations.

Besides the gun not much that plays a role in war thunder

Hopefully with this upcoming update the 2A6 will gain access to even better rounds than the current one in order to compete with some of the new incoming Rank VIII MBT's. So you might see a bit of improvement soon.

But for now, as Jaes said, the difference isn't huge.

Keyboard upgrades.

Now, 2 Leo in a lineup are better than having only one.
And for the thermals, sometimes it's better to have them turned off, depending on their quality. Thermals can be very useful, but on the other hand, they are not the main element.

the commander sight does not help like having it on gunner sight ( what i mean there will be aiming error and whats the point of shooting and then later on missing the weak spot )

With the longer gun, the 2A6 has a slighter higher penetration for the same APFSDS.

Does the PSO have the L/44 or the L/55, or a different shell than the other Leopards? Seeing it's placed after the 2A6 I would assume it would get a better shell.

It has the L/44 I believe, but better armor than the predecessors.
