Remember the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia? Its doesn’t stop Gajin to add Czech vehicles to Russia, also the one with no technical ties to SU.

Also ask Indians how they feel when they suddenly appear as subtree @UK. With like 18x the population and a past of colonialism and dreadful violence.

Its not really an argument.

Yeah there are a few issues with the 2A4NL LES/OTCo its seems to be a mix of different tanks from what i have been able to find, the leopard 2A4NL with the LES and 190 markings has the license plate KU-86-91.


I couldn’t find a 2A4NL that matches the netting, but its a pretty generic dutch tank camouflage pattern

I have only found a few image’s of a leopard 2 with the KU-84-91 license plate wich happens to be a 2A6NL named Bloodhound from the 42 Tankbataljon B Eskadron 3rd tank platoon,

because there IS no premium for france, and putting the proto leclerc as a premium would just be foul

I did read the reasoning, I am just saying that they should include it here as well, because people will ask here if they didn’t read it before.

And since they already provided reasoning, they could just copy paste it here.

Here is the reasoning why they did chose this vehicle, for people who didn’t catch it

Talking about a top-tier French premium tank

We’ve seen many questions and requests for a top rank premium tank for the French tree, and today we’re ready to provide some information and our thoughts regarding this.

We previously mentioned the challenges of finding a suitable candidate that fits a populated Battle Rating with other vehicles possible in its lineup. This is an important consideration when we look into including a premium vehicle in the game — we look into other vehicles that could fit into a lineup with it.

We have plans to add a prototype variant of the Leclerc in the next major update, however not as a premium. The reason for this is that its armor protection is still under question, and we’re wary of adding a premium vehicle with armor that could very much be subject to heavy changes if new information came to light. The specific variant of the prototype is still being worked on and is planned for the main research tree, where potential drastic changes to armor and Battle Ratings are more tolerable than if it was a premium vehicle.

To reiterate, we don’t want to add premium vehicles at the highest possible Battle Rating, so a premium at 12.0 for ground forces is not possible at the moment. With this in mind, we looked into another consideration as well. This included some form of a production Leclerc as a premium, but without a top round so that it could be placed at a lower Battle Rating. However this vehicle would have no lineup of its own and would only be valid in toptier 12.0 lineups, where it would be at a disadvantage with a weaker round.

So what solution have we come to? We plan to introduce a Leopard 2A4 NL from the Netherlands as a premium for the French ground forces tree. It will come with some cool and distinct visuals. This is a reliable and proven MBT that will serve the premium role well, while allowing us to retain the Leclerc MSC prototype for the research tree and offer further support for lesser populated Battle Rating ranges. Both of these tanks are planned to come together in the next major update.

the link with france lies more in REALLY old history, strangely enough, mostly from during and after the annexation by napoleonic france, although the netherlands seem german influenced due to language, historically, the ties with france were slightly stronger

Clearly fake as it’s impossible for the gun to be able to aim over the rear like that.
