Maybe, the problem is that there really isn’t any other options to solve the 9.7-11.7 gap.
I’ve still been looking and the best I can think of is the AMX-30V. Which would just be a AMX-30 Super with CITV. Unless you can think of something else between the AMX-40 and Leclerc.
Otherwise there’s still supposedly a lot of inspiration from the Leclerc. There’s supposedly titanium armor, similar Hunter-Killer, and the smoke system is either GALIX or inspired by it.
There is the EMBT which Germany and France can both get.
There is also Leclercs that UAE and Jordan use which would make good squadron vehicles.
You don’t seem to understand the problem which requires me to ask for this Leopard. Even after specifically stating it.
Do I want to have to ask for it? No, but find something in between the AMX-40 and Leclerc.
Uhhhh maybe the sneaky AMX-30 with the stealth kit?
There doesn’t need to be anything between the AMX-40 and Leclerc though. Even if there was, it would have no line-up.
Germany goes from 10.0 to 11.7 for instance.
It’s only a thermal cover. It retains the 105mm and I can’t find anything on it being stabilized besides it being developed at the same time as the 30C2.
It’s more forward thinking. The only other MBT we have is the Ares prototype that can go in between.
Other then that it’s just light vehicles.
Maybe we don’t need many MBTs between 9.7-11.7, but as it stands it’s really bad because there’s nothing.
More light vehicles the better. I love the intense feeling of panic whenever someone looks in my direction. Its so exciting.
Mbts get really boring after awhile. But thats just me.
They’re definitely very fun to play, don’t get me wrong. But MBTs are better at taking a hit, and Ares doesn’t have composite screens.
Best I can do is hope that France is getting a meaningful light tank instead of a worse VBCI-2.
It’s not like the Leclercs are able to take any hits either lol it wouldn’t change much really
Why does there need to be something here? If they didn’t use or design something that would have the performance for the BR it should just be open.
F-16A Block 1 with only 9Js.
Add them all!
Because there will likely just be a bunch of 10.0+ light vehicles with no MBT to pair with unless you uptier them to the Leclerc.
Ares is just one MBT that will pretty much behave like a light vehicle anyways.
Which goes back to the Panzer 87 not being critical, but it would be nice to have so there’s something to flesh out the BR range instead of leaving it dead.
Introduce a new vehicle type “recovery” or “engineering vehicle”
how?
There’s already 2 engineering vehicles.
Most recovery vehicles dont have proper offensive armaments however more engineering vehicles can be added since some of them have howitzers or similar armaments.
France has a weird AMX-30 variant with only 5-6 shots. So it’s definitely a “careful what you wish for” kind of thing.
