Would it have more of it than the Leo2A6 ?

No, the later abrams offer the IVIS system (unit symbols on digital maps in digital netweork, later Leo2s have something comparable), and an thermal sight for the TC that works independant from the gunner's sight (also for the Leos). so far, the old Abrams-TVs need to override the gunner, link to their sights and mastercontrol these in order to look where they want to look. the gunner cannot look at a different direciton for the duration of the TC overriding him. also, the Leos have optical periscopes, that the Abrams is missing altogether. Often talked down, these periscopes, but I find them to be a most valuable tool. Would hate to miss them. there is a reason why you switch so often between optical and thermal sights. thermals are no super witchcraft. Many tanks from their fronts remain to have a low visibility from the front, if not contrasting to the empty sky. It also has not the viewing distance of optical sights.

I prefer the Leopard2 to the Abrams any time. also, slightly simplified aiming and gunnery procedures.

Leased ?

= "geliehen". They might consider to buy Leropards later on.

I am talking about this one here:

Look in 3:06

That is a swedish CV9040. the last update/addon introduced both the B and C versions.

or here in 5:41:

CV9040.

Could it be eventually the marder 3 ?

No, it remains to be the CV9040. The Marder-2 will not be built. It was stopped almost ten years ago. One or two prototypes sit in a museum. Looked more like a tank than an IFV anyway.

I am talking about this one here btw: http://www.freundeskreis-panzergrenadiere.de/fileadmin/freundeskreis/artikel/puma_sut_200410.pdf

That is the Puma, the successor for the Marder1A3. Not in SBP.

The Puma. But it seems to be much smaller than that one in the SB movie. So could it be the marder 3 or something ? Or is this something from scandinavia ?

Hm, let me guess... I think... yes.. it is the CV9040 you talk about, without doubt.

BTW is the fennek or at least the Luchs in there?

Keine Füchse, keine Luchse.
