Can anyone make a model of one? Here are links.

http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/leo2.htm

Scroll down to the lower parts of the page where it has the later versions of it. I'm looking for the ones with the sloped front turret armor.

None of them look like a Leo 2. The Leo 2 has a distinct elongated hull, with a very large turret. Sloped front turret armor, and a distinct turret shape. None of the tanks fit. Trust me I have browsed the model resource section many times.

tank modeling is so simple that you can try it too :p look for gmax modeling pack in tools section , http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/magos.php - and there is tutorial, and why do you need exactly this model?

I need a replacement for my generic tank unit in WWZ. Currently I'm using an M1 for it. The plan is to replace the advanced tank unit, currently an M109 Paladin, with the M1, and to replace the M1 with the Leo 2 (being a more common tank in Europe). The Paladin would then be transfered to the artillery section and have completely redone stats. I'll take a look at the link, though I'll be honest; the reason I never took up modeling was because of issues with time. I barely have any.


EDIT: Oh and Kofi what happened to the two migs you were making? They looked practically finished in the last pics you posted a while ago.

Also I would like to expand this request. I have an almost finished F-16 model that's in .obj format and is already skinned. It has no textures (as far as I know). I really need the model to be finished up into a Wc3 usable format, with portrait and all. Is anyone interested?

Though Germany is working on the Leo 3 Tank. And I thought probably the most used tank in Europe would be one of the older Russian or Chinese tanks. But I could be wrong with the Leo 2 being obsolute and Leo 3 being worked on. I know Canada doesn't have any tanks in their army anymore after the Leo 2. They dropped the model and are probably waiting on the Leo 3.

The T-72 is pretty common also. Actually if I could get an actually T-80UM2 Black Eagle model instead of the Leo 2 that would help too. Then I could use kofi's T-80 as a T-72 and that would be the basic tank (the model is un-detailed enough to allow that).

But Leo 2 is definetly one of the most, if not the most, common tanks in Europe. Chinese tanks were never exported to Europe. The Leo 3 program was replaced with another upgrade program for the Leo 2.

Also I attached the download link of the F-16 thats almost finished to the post.

no more pictures. Focus on information now, post articles, ways to make this work, ways it can be used, details on what you want made EXACTLY with what anims/ect.

Also, try posting WIP shots of your map to peak intrest.

Well the Leopard 2 A6 is basically the world's most modern Main Battle Tank. It's also considered the best in areas of accuracy, protection, and mobility. It's currently being used by a very large number of countries around the globe, including Germany, Spain, Sweden, Greece, and others. It's a very common European tank, that would be useful to pretty much any modern warfare map.
