22 battles in unspaded EMBT and already two nukes
Def replace 2A7 as a first pick in games
Even had this little chat with one another player who knows how top tier works
Survivability is decent and so the only actual flaw is mobility

It’s sad for the French tree that the EMBT ended up as a straight up worse Leclerc, but at least Germany gained something from the addition.

It’s still somewhat nice to see France get a vehicle it was involved in the development of
The last French ground vehicle was Jaguar in November 2025

Would still be nice if said vehicle was actually worth crewing.
Yes, but I also want the trees to feel unique and different, so if every addition was based on what’s the most meta, every tree would have nearly the same stuff, there’s already enough copy paste as it is
Now that being said, in this situation specifically, yeah there were better domestic designs for both trees that could have been added, but this gave the devs a two trees for one option

To be fair, there is a middle geound between adding something meta and adding something completely useless.
The EMBT is completely useless now for France. If it had gotten a better round it still wouldn’t be fully meta, but it would at least have made it worth crewing for the French tree.
I would not have been that unimpressed by this addition is only they had given it a better shell. As of now, the addition to the French tree is more than redundant.
They also could have use its addition to do some foldering of the Leo 2A5/6 just like in the German tree at the same time imo

Did you really expect the regular s1/s2 turret to get any better ammo because it’s on a new chassis. 🤷♀️ Genuinely the cope is impressive
At the end of the day its Gaijin who decide what shell a tank can get as long as its proven to be compatible. The Strvs and Arietes also dont have DM53 irl but that didnt stop Gaijin. The EMBT with a better shell would have actually been an interesting buff to french top tier compared to what it is now.

So all the SEPv1-SEPv2 tanks should be limited to M829A1 because they use the same turret?
Also using that logic I think they should also not give any future leopard 2 anything better than DM53, since internally it’ll have the same or similar turret as the 2A6 no.
Cope knows cope I guess.

Just be wrong 🤷♀️ enjoy
There’s just not a realistic better ammo for it lmao until more information for shard is found and even then who knows if it would go to s1/2 you can make your stupid argument for dm53 but enjoy proving it’s possible
I’m sure you can back that up with a source?
More schizo posting. Maybe you should focus more on getting good at the game instead of flip flopping sides every other day.
Also we clearly don’t need proof that it’s capable, since Gaijin also doesn’t. Just need to wait until Gaijin gets some balance common sense (which is sadly never happening).
Yet that’s one of their own requirements lmao 🤷♀️
Your complaining over nothing tho lmao
If they themself don’t require evidence then clearly we can just ask them to change it.
I’m complaining that they added some trashcan to the French tree that isn’t even worth the time it takes to select it for research.
I don’t expect you to understand top tier balance when you just exist as cannon fodder.
Then don’t play it. It’s a simple concept you don’t like embt don’t play it get it 🤷♀️
Ask for more unique additions - get unique additions and complain constantly because it’s not meta.
Just enjoy it’s a new unique tank
“Unique” lmao. It’s just a worse Leclerc.
I’m not planning on even playing it, I got enough things this update that were actually worth grinding.
I can and will still let Gaijin know that they screwed up massively with the EMBT. And that their copious advertisement of the EMBT in this devblog is simply delusion.
Unique is unique 🤷♀️ doesn’t mean its better lmao
Ofc not but just because its unique doesnt mean that it has to be worse especially if there are ways for Gaijin to make it better. Its the same story with the H145M. Its a unique heli but it would be markedly less shit if Gaijin gave it its Spike ER2s instead of the normal ones.
Unique is nice but unique and good is better especially when it comes to tech trees that could use something good for once.

Didn’t fit my playstyle, euroslop
First of all, it’s still not an S1/S2 turret. It’s an XLT turret (although it’s true it lies around S1-S2 in terms of tech)
Secondly, the artillery piece of the Leclerc hasn’t changed since its introduction. Any Leclerc is capable of firing any French (and normally OTAN) shells.
It doesn’t matter how old the EMBT turret is. As the EMBT is a 2018 prototype, it’s capable of firing any shells that existed at least in 2018 (ie DM53 for example)
And, (I know @dotSHINI doesn’t agree with me here, but it’s my opinion), as a prototype demonstrator for the “future” of MBTs, it could also very well use the Shard which was in development around that time (even if only certified in 2023), as it is used on the S21/XLR which as the same gun as the S1, S2 and XLT turret.
Also your cope about Shard is remarkable. There are already more informations about the shell than you know about, and Gaijin doesn’t even need that much info to add new shells. They already added some top tier shells with little known informations. They only require information for player reports.
The projectile length, mass, muzzle velocity and overall pen improvement are already known, leaving Gaijin some margin to estimate the remaining information to implement the shell in game
