Ill take your word for it. But, again, from my experience facing it, it has next to zero “Oh crap” factor.
True. Just don’t shoot it in the turret
Leo 2s in general take first place
T-80s come very close second
Abrams comes in third, not cause it’s good enough to deserve bronze, but cause the rest just suck even harder.
The Leclerc is absolutely my favorite vehicle in the game and people have called me crazy for liking it so much!!
It’s easily the most “ergonomic” of the top tier MBTs. Great gun handling, great mobility/acceleration, decently survivable for the lack of armor, and it can aim over the engine. It’s an absolute beast in the hands of a skilled player because its weaknesses (armor and shell) can be mitigated by being good at the game. It also essentially outreloads everything due to crew skill except TKXs which are rare at top tier anyway.

Based purely off of mechanical capabilities/ceilings.
- T90M Great front armor fun to push in.
- T80BVM good armor but more maneuverable.
- Abrams Terrible armor but fun to run and gun, excellent round.
I find myself being surprised killed by the Leclerc every so often so you certainly have a point here.
