Hello,
I want to show you how can the leclerc be more accurate, everything I will show isnt leak, illegal.
First the shell use, compare to other shell, OFL 120 F1, is the worst apfsds in top tier, the OFL 120 F1 was a collaboration between france and germany, the german name is the dm43. Here is the first probleme, germany got dm53 but france nothing. The dm53 can penetrate 652mm at 10 meters and 604mm at 2000 meters, while the OFL 120 F1 can penetrate 575mm at 10meters, and 537 at 2000m meters.
So to replace the OFL 120 F1, the OFL 120 F2 is a good option. First of all the OFL 120 F2 was produced in 1996, the dm53 in 2001, so its older. The OFL 120 F2 can penetrate 640mm at 2000 meters like declassified documents shows. To explain you the difference between all shell:
dm53 > ofl 120 F1, the difference is 77mm of penetration
ofl 120 F2 > DM53, the difference is 36mm of penetration only
SECOND THING, MOBILITY AND ENGINE
for the mobily, we know that the Leclerc has 5 gears irl, but it has 10 on the game, what affect a lot the power of the tank. We also can see on a video name “triomphe 2017 démonstration char Leclerc”, that the leclerc has the abiliy to move its turret and chassis in a different direction at the same time. About the turret speed,its also innacurate, on a video name « Char Leclerc et DCL en démonstration à Verdun » you can see at 3:50 min of the video, how fast can be the turret, I was able to approximately time 90° for 3/3.30 seconds, which is impressive.
The engine is suppose to be super quiet like irl, information that you can find easily and see by yourself in many video. One of the particularities of the Hyperbar process specific to the V8X1500 engine is that it does not smoke when accelerating, which helps reduce the infrared signature of the tank. The exhaust temperature of the TM-307 B turbine never exceeds 370°C, whatever the speed of the tank’s Diesel engine.
ARMOR
From the source name scribd, THE MOST INTERESTING PART :
“In 1992, Stéphane Ferrard, a defense journalist and historian of land weapons, wrote in his book Le Système Leclerc: “In a frontal sector of 30° to the right and left, the structure of the tank would be able to withstand the impact of arrow munitions belonging to the largest calibers currently available on the market.” The turret and chassis of the Leclerc tank are made of a frame of mechanically welded steel plates on which are mounted a set of removable boxes containing composite armor. The turret is protected by a set of twelve added boxes (six per side), covered with a non-slip fiberglass coating. The turret is also surrounded by a set of composite boxes which have a triple role: to transport the on-board kit, to reduce the radar signature and to form spaced armor in front of the main composite armor blocks. Self-sealing structural tanks are placed at the front right of the chassis, in front of the barrel containing 18 120 mm shells and above the latter, under the plate supporting the composite armour of the glacis. The frontal protection of the sides of the chassis is ensured by three lateral pre-armour plates, each composed of a composite panel covered with a steel shell. The tropicalised Leclercs have 6 caissons. All are mounted on hinges so that they can be tilted onto the hull, reducing the width of the tank to make it compatible with the SNCF gauge.”
ARMEMENT
the leclerc should aslo get a 7.62 mg on the turret .
I think if we dont get all of this because gaijin for a reason hate France, having at least the armor because with 3 crew member and no armor, means one shot and the leclerc explodes for some reasons, and the mobility, its the least we can get to compete agaisnt other MBT.
Thanks for taking the time to read, have a great day.
