EMBT should receive DM53 or SHARD. OFL F1 is completely inappropiate for a pinnacle-of-the-tree MBT

The problem there is that the intention from the devs was very likely to give Germany a new 12.7 MBT

Just like how they wouldn’t give the Leopard 1a5Be its Belgian MECAR ammo because it was intended for 9.3, putting EMBT at 12.3 would defeat its purpose for being added

By not giving EMBT better ammo and putting it in the hands of a less experienced player base will quickly highlight its shortcomings

I would say no, at least on my part I’m not supporting this because the E-MBT it’s not a “pinnacle-of-the-tree” vehicle. It’s technically top tier but alone it’s not any better than a regular Leclerc or a Leopard 2A7, it’s a mixed bag of both vehicles with the best of two being highlighted in a united platform: Firepower of the Leclerc with 5-seconds long reload for a quite good gun handling and absurd mobility of the Leopard 2A7 series in the other.

If, and only if Gaijin adds more advanced vehicles I would recognise that Leclerc platform, everything with the Lisse cannon should recieve proper ammunition to counter next-generation or previously more absurd late-Cold War technology like an Object 195 or a T-14 Armata but that’s only it. Personally I don’t think the Leclerc struggles with the OFL F1 penetrator, if not it’s more like a balance matter to keep this vehicle not absurd as it could be. If regenerative steering is added to the Leclerc its mobility will noticeably improve.

Like I said. It’ll be Germanys first 12.3 🤷‍♀️

More accurate - nerfed lmao
Because France didn’t develop a better round they should get a German one that might not even fit lmao

Does the 2A5 not exist?

Do you know if the Leclerc turret absolutely cannot fit DM53? And even if it can’t, then there’s SHARD as the next option.

isn’t the OFLE F2 an upgraded F2 round ? instead of going straight to Shards

I’m not the right person to ask, my knowledge is minimal. I’m speaking from a balance perspective instead.

Unfortunately that’s true 🤷‍♀️

Didn’t say they shouldn’t lmao

It’ll get it eventually lol don’t exactly play the game much 🤷‍♀️

Can you read. I didn’t say for certain i said MIGHT.

And that’s a better option although the information is limited on the round at least then it’s actually domestically french instead of throwing dm53 at all issues

Kinda forgot about it tbh

So you don’t know. Which is a classic, a TON of stuff in this game is based upon balance and guesses when concrete proof is not available.

So you don’t care about balance, as from what we know SHARD would be similar to DM53. Instead you just don’t want a German round to go into a “French” tank.

Correct it would be as far as we know but again its domestically french then

It can but I don’t think it should. The game already has the issue of throwing German stuff at all issues see 2a5 or 2a6 adding dm53 would again make it worse.
We already see the issue with dm53 like with the arietes (although I support that.) and most recently the strv 122

Id like to add that DM53 as a full round is shorter than OFL-F1 by around 70-80 mms and would have 0 issues fitting

Wrong way around lmao dm53 is longer then dm43 (ofl F1)

How does some numbers and letters make anything worse? By your logic:
This is fine:



But this is not. Even if its the exact same performance. Hypothetical example of course, they aren’t the same.

I love making stupid comparisons. Shard still isn’t the same lmao it’s similar wether its better or worse idk but again its domestically french what should always be the focus over adding a another nations round that’s unrelated and hasn’t been used on the turret.

My bad that was with the petals

Both are standard Nato 570 x 120mm shells though so my statement still stands

youd have to take into consideration the current leclerc are almost 30 years old against the barely 10 years old 2A7, that is the most unfair part for the french tech tree.

If its +10 or -10mm there’s virtually no difference. DM53 is simply an easier addition as its already in the game and just requires them to add it to the tank.

Correct but that’s promoting the issues already in game with copy and paste for everything that has issues. The EMBT was never going to be all that

2a7+ as a platform is 16 years old that’s what the embt is based on

It was mostly a jab at you barely functioning in the current 2A7.
