Leopard 1A1
After the first batch of Leopard 1s, the next three batches were of an improved model, called the Leopard 1A1. The 1A1 model added a stabilizer for the gun, developed by Cadillac Gage. Additionally, a thermal sleeve was added to the gun to prevent overheating, and side skirts were added to the sides of the tank, in order to provide more protection for the tracks. The rubber blocks fitted with two-pins on the tracks was changed to a one-pin track style.
Leopard 1A1A1
All the Leopards of the first 4 batches were upgraded to the Leopard 1A1A1 standard between 1974 and 1977. They received additional turret armor developed by Blohm & Voss.
Leopard 1A1A2
Leopard 1A1A1 tanks with the PZB 200 image intensification system, mounted in a box above and to the right of the gun. The system was originally found on the Leopard 2 series.
Leopard 1A1A3
Leopard 1A1A2 tanks with a new SEM80/90 all-digital radio.
Leopard 1A1A4
Leopard 1A1A3 tanks that had upgraded image intensifiers.
Leopard 1A2
The first 232 tanks of the fifth batch were Leopard 1A2s. The Leopard 1A2 had an up-armored turret, so they never received the Blohm and Voss armor upgrades, but they were upgraded similarly to the Leopard 1A1 tanks.
Leopard 1A2A1
Leopard 1A2 tanks that were upgraded with the same PZB 200 image intensification system as the Leopard 1A1A2.
Leopard 1A2A2
Leopard 1A2 tanks upgraded with the SEM80/90 all-digital radio.
Leopard 1A2A3
Leopard 1A2 tanks upgraded with both the SEM80/90 all-digital radio and the PZB 200 image intensification system.
Leopard 1A3
The last 110 vehicles of the fifth batch were of the Leopard 1A3 model. The 1A3 model was fitted with a new turret. The armor consisted of two steel plates with a plastic filling in-between them, and the mantlet was of a wedge shape. The commander received an improved TRP 2A independent sight.
Leopard 1A3A1
Leopard 1A3 tanks upgraded with the PZB 200 image intensification system.
Leopard 1A3A2
Leopard 1A3 tanks upgraded with the SEM80/90 all-digital radio.
Leopard 1A3A3
Leopard 1A3 tanks upgraded with both the SEM80/90 all-digital radio and the PZB 200 image intensification system.
Leopard 1A4
Leopard 1A5
Leopard 1 "Verbeterd"
Leopard 1A6
The Leopard 1A6 was a project to equip the Rheinmetall 120mm L/44 gun on a Leopard 1. It used a Leopard 1A1A1 hull and turret, with the 120 mm gun instead of the previous 105 mm gun. The project was cancelled in 1987 before the design entered production; the Leopard 2 had already entered service and the Leopard 1A6 was not a large enough improvement over the 1A5 to be worth the cost. Note: the Leopard 1A6 is erroneously known as the Leopard A1A1 L/44 in War Thunder.
