I thought the leclerc that knds france proposed was the leclerc evolution but seems like not, no clue why it is proposed then, France is no longer producing any.

Leclerc évolution is only proposed to current users of the Leclerc as of now, that is France, UAE, and maybe Jordan, by upgrading current material
I guess KNDS might be proposing to open new production lines for a Leclerc/Leclerc évolution tho, but that would come at a higher cost

Well, i thought the leclerc evolution with how it is currently offered could evolve and have a different hull.
Upgrading the package of existing leclerc is too restricting after all there isn’t a lot of them to start with.
Except if they would use those that had their parts cannibalized for others leclerc but it would still be a lot of work.
The evolution hill is not significantly different from the original leclerc. Also the Leclerc was originally designed with modularity in mind, so such modifications should have been thought about.
At the eurosatory, I was told the evolution comprised of a a renovation of the hull
I wanted to say that it was restricting because you cannot sell it to countries outside current leclerc users, even tho it would go against MGCS, there is not a lot to loose.
no
What do you mean no, this is what the Kronstadt was supposed to be.
but it wasnt
It was initially designed with the 305 until the USSR bought a surplus of 15inch SK C/34 and their twin turrets. If the ship was finished it would’ve had the German 15inch guns.
M109A6 - The real Paladin, with upgraded optics and systems, like hydro-electrical traverse and elevation drives.
Does it have thermals? I don’t know, if it does, easy 7.7-8.0 vehicle, if not, still worthy of 7.0

Something happening in datamine. Looks like historical characteristics changes.
What are “historical characteristics”?
Turret traverse rate, weight, gearbox.

Specifically?
Many chages in different vehicles. Weight of VBCI, turret rotation of ZSU-57-2, gearbox of ZiS-30, and so on.
