how is it a down grade you lost for the french cause the leclerc had a weak hull now they get a good hull ? its a upgrade for france and a downgrade for germany as the round is way worse
its not like there wasnt another unique german option they could have added there definitely was this was done out of pure laziness the only benefiter is france which is good im glad there getting a actual upgrade but the EMBT is not what germany needed could have gotten leo 2a7V+

Please stop making up names.
And your correct Germany could have about 100 different other leopards that would almost all be better but the simple question to think is are they A cooler or B more unique 🤷♀️ not many fit there embt 2018 is a amazing fit when people don’t want more copy and paste. They have added a very cool and unique vehicle and all of you complain for just silly stuff “oh it won’t be good” “it’s not unique (somehow)” “it’s a lazy addition” genuinely just way too critical when your likely the same person who asks for unique vehicle. But complain when we get one of the most unique hybrids ever made
And WHO CARES it’s a cool tank. It doesn’t need to be good or meta defining just enjoy the silly prototype and stop being over critical 🥀 most impossible community to please

It’s a downgrade for France because there’s no change in firepower from other French vehicles, and mobility is more important than hull protection, especially when your turret is so vulnerable
For Germany it’s a side grade (ish) as it’s now the fastest firing top tier German tank.
As I said though, for Germany I’d rather pull leopard 2’s, and for France I’d rather pull standard Leclercs because the compromises made in this pairing don’t really make it super competitive
It’s till a neat addition, just one that could have come later on IMO

EMBT has worse mobility, taller tank and considerably less autocannon survivability than the Leclercs.
You trade in most of the remaining things that are still good about the Leclerc and you get nothing worthwhile in return.
“Stay away from the multi million dollar company” meme moment.

that would be true if germany wasnt already full of tanks like that we dont need it what we need is another good 12.7 tank we dont need another 2a5 PSO
Just miss my whole point but whatever.
No such thing as 2a5 PSO.
Genuinely you guys ask for unique tanks and then are so critical over then since they are meta breaking or whatever the hell. We got one of the most unique tanks and your still upset
Wow the company did exactly what we asked and added a unique and cool vehicle like the community has been asking for months now. 🤷♀️
Idk where you got this part from you already complain it’s not competitive but if it came later it would be even worse. So how the hell does that make sense.
They really didn’t. They added a unique vehicle, not a cool one. The EMBT also doesn’t do anything to fix the actual French requests lol, I’m sure they didn’t ask for a worse Leclerc.
And of course we can be critical. It’s not like the EMBT is bad by design, it being mediocre in game is a choice by Gaijin.
Holy Gaijin shill moment, either that or I’m talking to someone below 18 years old.

Glueless.
Are we talking about my post or your gamesense here?
Nah but for real, They have a vehicle with a 2A7 hull and a Leclerc turret and somehow managed to add it in a way that makes it worse than both the 2A7V and Leclerc. What exactly is cool about it?

Girl. What other nations have mounted a turret and hull of a different tank 🤷♀️it’s a very cool program.

If we go very technical I can also count this:

And this is also ignoring a lot of SPAA. I’m probably still forgetting some.
And unlike the EMBT, most of these actually aren’t redundant and a waste of time. Why? because Gaijin chose to make most of them at least somewhat worthwhile.

More meant MBT wise. And from 2 separate nations lmao.
My Personal Issue with the EMBT is less about it being not Unique, its more about that the EMBT we have is not only poorly modelled but overall at least for the german Tree its kinda meh though for the French its a slight downgrade since the Leclercs primarily rely more on its speed so there is that.
Though honestly everyone would have prefered the 2022 Variant with the Roof mounted 30mm and Trophy. (but I can understand why its not added because we barely know about the new turret´s armor)
Additionally: Im pretty sure the EMBT´s Hull is based on the PSO VT (according to a Book) so why it doesnt have the 2A6HEL equivalent armor is questionable.

It is and the shrimple thing is can’t prove it since there’s not enough sources to prove compared to thoses saying 2a7. Even knds called it a 2a7
litertarlly a nothing burger of a tank its round is horrible and sacrifices everything for a 5.0 second reload which isnt that useful when your a paper able to be penned by autocannons
the only reason they picked this tank is they could kill 2 birds with one stone cause there lazy germany is lacking hard in the 12.7 bracket due to they only get one actual 12.7s and then they get a 2a6 and a 2a5 PSO genuinely abhorrent
