I do have a significant firepower buff over the Azur who sit at 11.7
but to balance and not create a compression, other vehicles should also receive similar buff.
the Leopard 2A7 for example, should get the DM-73 APFSDS which should be slightly better than the Shard Mk.1. the DM-73 can only be fired from the RH 120 L/55A1
the British may not have the DM-73 but regardless I would give it to the Challenger 3 just for balance
the Russians would get the 3BM70 apfsds too for their late MBT and eventually get the T-14 armata.
USA could get more modern tanks such as the Abram-X
and there is the prototype of up-gunned tanks such as the Leclerc 140, Leopard 2-140, KF-51, Abrams thumper, Obiekt 292, T-14 armada, Challenger 2-130, Type 99G-140, Merkava 5
there could be a whole up-date aiming to add the tanks of tomorrow and raise up the max BR further more for a last time
well this is France’s best Leclerc not sure why they would make it a premium.
The armor we are using in game right now most likely wouldn’t change to the pre production they would basically be Leclerc s1 with a worse dart like ofl g1 at 11.0 like the type 90
But it is a transition version between the tanks currently in service and their replacement by EMBT in the near future. Few are available now and may remain due to the economic choices of the military programming law / Loi de programmation militaire.
So he would be a great candidate to fill this game-changing role.
If not, the top tier of France will remain a underdeveloped tree and little incentive to play.
Yes, it would be nice to see it here, but whether the developers will manage to model it correctly and not produce any predetermined breaking points is very questionable.
I’m not super optimistic about the future of french MBTs with gaijin track record other than the 140 mms
I am optimistic about scout/ifv vehicles they did make a good effort to model the Vextra but they seem so set on this 9.7 line up I don’t know what to expect anymore
Most nations are onto there Tech demonstrators after 1 or 2 production mbts now France’s problem is just Gaijin’s choices nothing else
We just shouldn’t expect too much then the disappointment is at its minimum, on a positive note there are Benelux tanks coming soon, looking forward to the Belgians.
