VK 16.02 Leopard
tier V light made in Germany. WarGaming Tankpedia technical details »
The design of the VK 16.02, known as the Leopard, was based on the Panzer II Ausf. J (VK 16.01) and Panzer II Ausf. M (VK 13.01) that had been developed earlier. A dummy vehicle was ready in May–June 1942, and the first prototype was built by September 1, 1942. According to "Panzerprogramm 41", that provided for the manufacturing of 339 vehicles (105 by December 1943 and 150 by the middle of 1944), mass production was to be launched in April 1943 but never started. Later, the Leopard turret was mounted on the Sd.Kfz.234/2 designated as Puma.

If you are using camo directive, you can skip camo perk, but it will cost 20k per battle, is it worth it? If you are swimming in credits YES.
Also, it depends on you, do you want to go for camo or view boosting skills 1st, both options are worth it.
Loader - 5th skill - reset, get Safe Stowage and start Repairs again.
