+1, as a premium.

Yeah, more people would grind France, + most of them would also have the event mirage.
And after looking it closely i think would be good to first have the leclerc UAE added, i guess as a squadron leclerc and then this leclerc after most of the upgrade have been performed as a premium leclerc.
I find it better for both jordanian representation and France players, because gaijin might not add the new upgrade performed if they happen after the vehicle is released in game, we would fight for years with an “in consideration” suggestion.
But they could give the jordanian camouflage to the UAE leclerc before this tank is added.

I support as premium vehicle for France.

I dunno man, this would straight up be the best Leclerc variant due to an even higher HP/tonne ration than S1, better optics, side armor and reverse speed…
+1, but for capping off the current tech tree Leclerc line. This would have been a better choice than the Leclerc Azur, which is “useless” (the additional armor is).

A few corrections:
- The XLT (Leclerc Tropicalisé) has a 1500hp engine:
- The commander sight would be using a 1st generation thermal imager:
Spoiler
- The XLT should have slightly worse armour over the French Leclercs as from the Série 2 onwards the armour was improved but the report for that is a WIP
As for this vehicles place in War Thunder. I’m not entirely sure it’s necessary as of yet as there are three different XLTs France could get:
- XLT with AZUR package:
- XLT revalorisé (a 2016 upgrade proposal for the UAE’s Leclerc fleet which would still use the basic S1 armour)
- XLT with CLARA package
Perhaps it could work as an event vehicle? Though if there are any Jordanian modifications in the future those could make an interesting vehicle.

I’ve confused two variants of the same engine it seems and I looked it up just to make sure and yeah, it doesn’t use the 1630 hp model, thanks for bringing it to attention.
By better armor I meant side armor, and perhaps later upgrades.
Maybe one as a premium vehicle and the other as a squadron vehicle. My preference is seeing the Zayed (unless my eyes are deceiving me, the ones we’ve got in the country as the XLTs with CLARA armor) as the premium and a UAE version as a squadron vehicle.
The king is an army man. As soon as he took up leadership in 1999 he established KADDB and began upgrade and modification programs for the army’s vehicles. Here are examples:

My favorite one is the Al-Hussein Hybrid which is a heavily upgraded Challenger 1 to meet modern standards (smoothbore 120mm with KE-W, 2nd gen thermals, doubled turret reverse speed, improved turret armor and more). I think the Leclerc Zayed won’t be an exception.
This is the big reason why I suggested the Zayed first; patriotism is not enough of a reason to pick it over the Emirati versions.
The best Leclerc variant to be added will be the Leclerc XLR which transforms it into a 4th gen MBT. I think it’s fine :) we should keep this as their premium option, and the domestic XLR to top off the line
@Bossman919 kindly pointed out there are technically three different XLTs so in fact they could add two tropicalized Leclercs without waiting on the Jordanian one to get upgrades
I guess Leclerc Zayed would be early ground vehicle premium pre-order pack rank VIII for france. not rank VII
Yes. If the Jordanians ever modify their Leclercs (which I am keen to see) they will make interesting additions for the French tree. As of now the “Zayed” doesn’t have any differences over any of the Emirati Leclercs that could come.

Currently Leclerc SXXI and Leclerc AZUR from france tech tree lack OFL 120 F2 APFSDS only

Yeah but they use the OFL 120 F2 in real life and we’re hoping for it
+1 for the French TT, Britain has no need for a french MBT

+1 for France, since there’s multiple some can be chosen for being after the AMX-40 as export models, a Squadron MBT, and a pack premium

Ive been waiting and hoping they make this a premium for a while now since doesn’t have any top tier premiums.
Gaijin don’t make top BR prem vehicle
But other nations have them??
No nation has 12.0 as premium, and since France only has 1 mbt with difference that would not warrant a br increase every leclerc are 12.0 and so this one would also be 12.0.
Ah fair enough
Yeah it’s sad, leclerc should not be 12.0, but even the last ariete is 12.0, it’s just about saying to players “see, you all have a 12.0 mbt !”
