No, it means that Gaijin will make it bad. Look no further than Leopard 2A7Vs DM11 and how it’s by far one of the most (if not the most) purposeless multipurpose rounds in the game.
Basically, unless it has an actual proxy fuze, it will be made a timed round - meaning useless against helis (because they move - shocker, so timed fuze’s become worthless), useless against targets that actually move (because the round is set to explode after a selected time interval, so the target already moved away), useless even against stationary targets unless you don’t set the fuze because Gaijin coded them in such a way, that they explode in front of the target, rather than on top of it - so the HE load hits the most armoured parts instead of the least armoured ones.
Safran just won a contract with KNDS to produce new optics for the Leclerc XLR (not referring to PASEO) so yeah, Leclerc XLR still isn’t ready it seems.
I agree, think the fact that the Leclerc can be penetrated from the front by a Panzer 4 says a lot, and it needs to be fixed.
Although the OFL 120 F1 is too inconsistent in my experience.
I fully agree with you here. However I am a bit skeptical, because the armor is always going to be a nightmare to get good resources on, and previous attempts have shown that Gaijin is very “cautious” to changing it. As it stands, the armor just doesn’t stand up to top tier gameplay. No other top tier MBT can be killed from the front by 30mm APFSDS, other then the Leclerc. Which is probably the most frustrating thing about it imo.
new damage model rework seems to be coming for the type 10 for the looks of it, like 3 months ago, a major bug report about the disparities with the armor got passed to the developers aswell as recently being a lot of stuff centered towards japan, so either gaijin does the 2 in 1 or they only do 1
