Leopard 2A6M (West)

The Leopard 2A6M is an advanced main battle tank (MBT) based on the Leopard 2 series of tanks, which was developed by the German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. While the Leopard 2A6 is the base variant, the “M” in Leopard 2A6M stands for “Modular” and signifies that it is a modernized version with additional features and upgrades.

The tank is equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun, which is highly accurate and capable of firing a variety of ammunition types, including APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot) rounds and HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) rounds. It also features advanced fire control systems, including a laser rangefinder and ballistic computer, which enhance accuracy and target acquisition capabilities.

The Leopard 2A6M incorporates advanced composite and modular armour, which provides increased protection against a wide range of threats, including kinetic energy penetrators, shaped charges, and explosive fragments. It also has additional layers of armour and modular add-on armour kits that can be customized to the operational requirements.

The tank has a crew of four, including a driver, a commander, a gunner, and a loader. The crew is provided with advanced ergonomics, improved situational awareness through enhanced vision devices, and increased survivability features like NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection systems.

This vehicle blueprint includes meticulously crafted desert-themed textures, a fully rigged structure, and animated components such as turret rotation, gun elevation, and opening hatches. Additionally, it offers a detailed damage model with realistic visual effects. The blueprint also includes firing animations and dynamic effects, such as dust trails generated by the tank’s movement.

The asset is designed as a standard Unreal vehicle with a detailed interior, allowing for an immersive experience. It can be customized and adapted to suit specific project requirements. The Leopard 2A6M is fully drivable, utilizing accurate physics simulations provided by Epic Games’ Chaos Vehicles plugin. Please ensure that the Chaos Vehicles plugin is enabled for optimal vehicle movement.
