The CLOVIS is a pointless premium

In its current implementation, the CLOVIS is basically completely pointless as a premium, being essentially a better version of the Tech Tree DF105 (Unstabilized HEAT slinger) but with a laser rangefinder and a coax 20mm.

If the tank instead recieved its historical thermal imager, stabilizer and APFSDS shell, it could help fill the gap of light tanks (non autocannon) for high tier france, similar to the CV90105 XC-8.

It is a very good and fun to play, don’t get me wrong (if not overpowered) but it feels like so much wasted potential

Reminder that the CLOVIS is also in the French TT

No, it is good where it is. If you want to advocate for another premium with these features at a higher BR, go for it.

Do not change what is already good right where it is, with the features it currently has.

It’s tricky with premiums, even if they are significantly buffed when they move up you are going to upset people that bought them to use in specific lineups.
I was getting to rank 6 Sweden so I bought the premium CV90105 TML to play with the rest of the line up I was planning on making, then Gaijin deleted it and replaced it with the CV90105 at a higher BR, I haven’t played Sweden since.

The AMX 10RC is literally the TML no? I mean 8.3 vs 8.7 so I don’t see the comparison, unless you just mean accuracy, at which point trying to argue with the snail is nearly smooth they choose what they want anything else is a suggestion

Sounds like a fun tech tree version incoming

It feels pointless because there is something at 8.3 with stab, 5s autoloader, 30mm coax with aphe and decent gun depression. And premium status.

It really isn’t, it is just better than pretty much anything at its BR and even its TT counterpart but if it gets moved up, as an unstabilized HEAT slinger, it will suffer

Meant the XC8, my bad

Woops, got no clue then
