Performance
The Leopard PTA has a unique play-style, similar to that of a light tank. Its lack of armor makes it a very poor brawler, and it is vulnerable to any tank it will face, including tier VIIs. This lack of armor coupled with the fairly poor DPM means the PTA should avoid one on one situations with any medium tank. The PTA is best suited to more of a harassment role, zipping in behind enemy TDs or heavies, popping a quick round into their rear, then rapidly relocating to set up another shot. The PTA can also be played as a sniper, utilizing bushes and long range lines of sight to damage unsuspecting enemies. Players should make sure to be constantly aware of their surroundings, keeping track of which enemy tanks have already fired and are reloading, and potential threats from all directions, as the PTA seems to be a constant target.
When playing the PTA, always analyze the situation. Make sure that an escape route is always available so that if one is in a tight situation, they can easily get out. This tank is not suited for frontline duty. Always stay behind several teammates; ignore any comments other players may make about one's decisions in the PTA: you control the tank.
The PTA's poor gun depression hinders its abilities to utilize hills and ridges. Be sure to act as if you have been spotted, as Sixth Sense activates a full 3 seconds after you have already been spotted.
Early Research
The Leopard PTA can be researched two ways:
- If one is extremely cautious, then mobility is not a problem, so the 10,5 cm L7A1 is advisable. The 9cm's low alpha can be a major hindrance for the PTA, which will only be able to make a few shots per game. Start by researching the upgraded turret to improve gun statistics, then the L7A1, then the engine, and the tracks can be researched last.
- The second way is to go with the engine first. If you can bear with the 9cm stock gun, then getting the engine first will be extremely helpful. If you prefer speed and maneuverability, then research the top engine, tracks, turret, and the 10,5 cm L7A1 last.
