I review the Leo, a tier 7 Swedish medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 8 Redshire and tier 7 Steppes battles.
The Leo is an oft misunderstood and misplayed tank. The 10cm gun has poor gun handling and a long aim time of 3 seconds base but it hits hard. With proper use of vision control, you can fully aim in, and one of the tricks I show in this video is creating a deep line of bushes by knocking over trees so that you can repeatedly gain the "1st Shot Advantage".
Strengths and Weaknesses (with 10cm gun)
+ Superb alpha (300)
+ Superb gun depression (-10)
+ Excellent top speed (60)
- Very long aim time (3 sec base)
- Low reload (11.2 sec base)
- Poor accuracy (0.42 base)
- Weak armor
- Large profile
- Slow shell velocity (785 m/s)
Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Rammer
3. Vents
You can run GLD instead of Vents, but I equip Vents for the improvements to view range and reload.
This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
