The Leclerc in game has some really big composite arrays, even having, to my knowledge, the largest side arrays of any tank in game even beating the Strv 122s with 90mm of steel and 250mm of composite vs 80mm of steel and 230 mm of composite. Their frontal arrays aren’t that much worse either with 90mm of steel and up to 550mm of composite vs 80mm of steel and up to 585mm of composite for the Leopards.
Despite this, their composite multipliers are really bad in comparison, so the protection offered is considerably worse. The 30* off angle protection for the Leopard 2 series goes to ~670mm on the turret side if you don’t shoot the cheeks, even higher if the cheeks are shot obviously. The Leclerc meanwhile only has ~360mm. Completely ridiculous.
The hull armor is also a complete travesty. The bottom part has almost no protection whatsoever.
France has the worst top tier rounds, and Gaijin has given the Strv 122s really good rounds despite having huge amounts of protection. I don’t even see spall liners on the Leclercs? Really???
Leclerc gameplay should be changed. Go with very generous estimates for French composite multipliers, give them like Leopard 2A5 multipliers for their composite, that way they’d have ~700mm 30* off angle protection, and 680mm hulls. And give them spall liners too. I want a Maginot line fortress Leclerc, it’d be great fun to play and they deserve it.
