The Leopard 1 is a main battle tank that was developed by Porsche and manufactured by Krauss-Maffei in West Germany, first entering service in 1965. It was designed in an era when high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads were thought to make conventional heavy armour of limited value, so the Leopard 1 focused on effective firepower and mobility instead of heavy protection. It had a British 105 mm gun, a multi-fuel engine, and an oscillating turret with an autoloader. The Leopard 1 was produced until 1984, with a total of 6,485 tanks built, of which 4,744 were battle tanks and 1,741 were utility and anti-aircraft variants. The Leopard 1 saw service in the armies of more than 10 countries, including West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and Turkey. It was used in several conflicts, such as the Bosnian War, the Kurdish-Turkish conflict, the War in Afghanistan, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In World of Tanks, the Leopard 1 is a tier X medium tank that has a unique playstyle that combines high mobility, camouflage, and burst damage. It can use its speed and stealth to flank enemies, fire its single-shot gun with a reload time of about 8 seconds, and then retreat to reload. It can also scout for its team and spot enemy positions. However, the Leopard 1 also has many drawbacks. It has very thin armour that can be easily penetrated by most guns. It has poor gun handling and accuracy, which makes it difficult to hit targets at long range or on the move. It also has low hit points and a large profile, which makes it easy to damage or destroy. Therefore, the Leopard 1 requires a lot of skill and experience to play effectively. It is not recommended for beginners or players who prefer more conventional medium tanks. It is best suited for players who enjoy fast-paced and aggressive gameplay, who can use their map awareness, positioning, and timing to exploit enemy weaknesses and avoid enemy fire.
