No, it is about artillery delivered anti-tank ammunition (from above), and mine protection. Also, if they would send tanks into international missions, the Strv-122 would be the choice. And that influenced the threat estimation formign the basis for their additional protection suit.
Leo2A6 and Strv-122 are said to be the best protected tanks worlwide, currently.

Even better protected than the M1A2 and the challenger 2 ? :hmm:
Hmm, the 2A6 don't have an reenforced roof doesn't it ?
Every heared of the Leopard 2 PSO ?

That would be a game flaw then.
It has been asked in their fiorum a long time ago, and was denied to be a flaw (else it would have been corrected meanwhile, since it would be something very obvious). Matter of fact is that the TC looks through a monocular to use the peri, and has the thermal image on a monitor - another indication that noth systems work independant. The gunner has both the optics and the thermal in his one and only bicular sights, and only the reserve optics (GAS) in a separate monocular.

Yes, but isn't the thermal imager installed right besides the scope in the peri ?

But the way the map is updated in realtime with contacts seen by any unit, kinda gives it IVIS capeability.
You mean SB? Yes, then.

How is it now in SBPE ?
