It really isn’t
Yes it is
Easier spotting of enemies gives u the opportunity to shoot first which most of the time makes u win the engagmen
Also the abrams is allready mid compare to other 12.0 and now after the basket nerf its even worse
It does not need to go up in br
Its not. When it comes to spotting, one glowing white target is effectively the same as another slightly higher res glowing white target.
There’s diminishing returns for each jump in thermal gen.
I would rather they have excellent tracks like the M1, which would give Leclerc at least the advantage of maneuverability, rather than changing the BR. The tracks of Leclerc are really suck now.
There is alot of glowing things in your sight and in gen 1 its not that ez to spot hiding tanks when in gen 2 its way more clear
Gen 2 to gen 3 is small gap but gen 1 to gen 2 its big
Its still extremely easy with gen 1
Its usebale in some maps but for long distance map with alot of objects its not that usefull at least not like gen 2
Its easy on all maps.
Even the biggest war thunder maps aren’t nearly big enough for it to become an issue
I disagree and even if u can spot ppl if u go against gen 2 u are in disadvantge and he probably will spot u a bit earlier and this 0.5 sec is critical more so on a tank that get disabled no matter where u get hit
Nope, spot pretty much the same time
If you’re spotting later, its not because of the thermals
Or we can have Topter MBT for 12.3, don’t forget the CH2 and VT4 XD
Sure, the HC/A2 reloads .3s slower, but it accelerates far better and has much more stable armor, especially around the turret. The Leclerc dumps its speed similarly to the Type 10 (Though not as bad), and has very poor acceleration. The Abrams more than makes up for that 5 km/h lost over the Leclerc in terms of armor, round, and acceleration, among other things.
I didn’t mind it on the Strv 122B+.
Not a good enough reason for a different Br in my opinion.
Unlike Leopard 2A5 in comparison to Leopard 2A7 there is no major difference between the Leclerc variants that would matter in game.
Leopard 2A5 could be 11.7 or certain tanks like T-90M, T-80BVM, Leopard 2A7 and STRV-122+ could be moved up in Br but Leclerc is quite decent yet again with barely a difference between the variants as far as the game is concerned.
One could argue that the first Leclerc in the tech tree is the best since it is the lightest.
Better thermals as well as a thermal commander sight are nice but should not require a Br increase or decrease.
Up armoured sides and sights with some rubber pieces to go with it are lovely but barely worth the additional weight in War Thunder.
Just look at the Mirage 2000C S4/5 situation. Ridiculous.
Sure if we were talking about Leclerc covered in Russian sideskirts consisting of Kontakt-5 or better as they perform in game it would be a different story.
Now you’re just asking for artificial buff.
What buff?
Well its a meta tank and u have gen 2 on the commander
Commander thermals are blocked by a stupid cloth on the model so its only “usable” on perfectly level ground. But yeah, it is meta. The M1A1 HC is also meta, just not as good as the Strv/Leos.
The abrams arent meta more so after the basket changes
Im not saying they are bad but just mid
Eh, the shots that disabled you before are the same as now, the basket didn’t change much, atleast much that I could notice.
