The "unaesthetic Box sticking on top of the Turret" is actually the Leopards IR-Searchlight ;D

[p_filippouz]

I love this tank, the problem for me is that the zoom is a little bit to big for my liking and also that I have a 37% winrate in it because German teams are full of very skilled people

In the right hands, i've seen many times the leopard 1 changing the tides of battle whilist being a pain since its very quick and deadly. Especially if it gets undertiered and fight late ww2 vehicles.

goin up or downhills, making turn or doin backflips.
Leopard can now officially do backflips

[plug-intypeasacoco]

If you're playing the leopard 1 and are facing a:
•American tank: shoot the right side of the turret, especially if its a heavy tank. Thats where their ready rack is;
•British tank: left side of the hull beside the driver, no matter the type of tank it is. There's a ammorack there too that cant be emptied unless the enemy only has one shell left.
•Soviet tank: right side of the mantlet if it's a MBT, right side of the hull if it's a heavy tank, or right side of lower glassis in both cases but it's a tricky shot and not really reccomended. That's where the ready rack is in the russian MBTs, a ammorack second to the ready in their heavy tanks, and a second ammorack near the floor, but the second rack is more likely to be empty and you might not produce enough spall to detonate it. In case of doubt shoot around the mantlet as that is likely to at least take out the breech, it is tricky on soviet heavy tanks tho because of thick armor and angles.
•Remaining Nations: they are rare to come across at these BRs, but you should be fine shooting center mass since only the big three have heavy armored tanks at the 7.3-7.7 bracket, with the only exception being the Ho-Ri but even then you should have no problem penetrating it if shooting at the casemate or HEATFSing the hull, but in case of doubt go for the right side of the casemate since there's ammo there.

People dont talk about the gunners sight enough. The zoom on the sight gives me unnatural accuracy at this BR. I've made some ridiculous long range shots because of the zoom. I believe the gunners sight is the biggest advantage for a lot of maps.

i was going to quit smoking because it gave my father lung cancer, but after seeing this video, I will wholeheartedly continue chugging cigarettes for the rest of my life. thank you for the life hack now I can hide from the leo I that has been stalking my neighbourhood.

[birthdaytruck]

This is a really well paced video: you descirbe Leopard 1's appeal IMMEDIATELY. No filler, and your presentation is clear and concise. Good stuff.

"the leopard has no straordinary features..." james webb scope

[Lewd-Tenant_Isan]

used to hate this tank but its kinda grown on me, guess it mustve been the jarring change from the heavy tanky beasts from ww2 to the agile less armoured age of the Postwar that soured my initial games with this thing

[SeanCampbell_iRacing]

I actually got the leopard one recently after playing the game for about 8 years, and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite tanks. It has the mbt feel while being balanced (kinda) at the tier.

[aeromikel]

Doesn’t have any extraordinary features
Meanwhile leopard: 20x zoom for commander, 16x zoom for gunner

[somethingsomethingcrotasen]

I'm starting to think howtoplay is just grinding through the german tech tree

[dukesalt]

Leo 1 is an excellent vehicle, It's a vehicle i usually do well in regardless of who I'm fighting

[kadebass]

Leopard 1s commander optic is a 20x which is one of if not the best at its BR/rank so you can utilize that to your advantage (most enemies have around 9x)

[RS_Mogli]

The big box on the barrel is the housing of the IR search light, the Kanonenjagdpanzer would have the same one, just not in game.

[pancytryna]

Love you for covering all the vehicles im researching rn

[ryeo]

Ah yeah that thing is a proper menace to fight whenever I was at 6.7. Doing better against it now as 7.0 USA, but it's still a REALLY dangerous target.

[MrHighsider]

Played a lot of different BRs and Nations while the Event. For me German 7.3 was the best.

Not on every Map. But me prefer flank Maps anyway.

Good mobility and gun. But you better dont get hit.

Leo 1, M48, Marder, Wiesel, Arado and M262 Jabo is my lineup. Maybe the 7.7 "French Marder" will be 7.3 sometimes.

On 7.7 or 8.7 the Bullshit begins with Drones, BMP2s and China Tanks.
