More like a similar situation to the DF105

It might appear to be that simple but it is not.
I’m hopeful it’s not going to be that bad.
Hello, I have question about visibility
Why does the Leclerc have higher visibility than all other MBTs (except the Merkava)? The Leclerc is smaller than the Challenger, Leopard, and Abrams, but it is more visible. Why?

Because it’s French i guess.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined
How do we know that the Leclercs are missing hull armor? And is it significant?
Enjoying them so far though, just 55k shy of the AZUR
All datas from Leclercs armor used in WT comes from the data in the Swedish trial, when it was a proto Leclercs sent, it was not the first prod variant (S1), and afaik the data where classified too.
So it’s like if in WT we got Leopard 2A7 having proto 2a4 armor.
The SXXI should have internal armor reinforced with titanium bar too as upgrade against previous variants, but it just got some mm more for the gunner side ingame.

Challenger moves so slow, your eyes cant pick it up.
Y’know, it’s funny how @WaretaGarasu the poor bastard has to put together 25+ sources (including primary sources) to have the Leclerc’s reload buffed to its historically accurate 5 seconds, but then the devs will just arbitrarily give Swedish autoloaders a 5 second reload which is not actually possible in reality: Community Bug Reporting System.

Yikes, that sounds horrible… so if the Leclerc series were to get their proper armor values, they would arguably be one of the best tanks in the game

Reckon they’ll gimp the Rheinmetall 130mm’s 3 second reload when it eventually comes? It’s not as if autoloaders have to conform to historical accuracy anymore…
i would understand if it was for balance, goddamn the fact that they needed 25+ sources to get to buff the leclerc reload like if the abrams didnt just had a reload buff or like if it was impossible

One of the best indeed, but Leclercs ingame are really far from what they should be and armor is not the only problem saddly.
Firepower too, when everybody got new shells few years ago, we still have the same best shell that we got on the release of the first Leclerc ingame long time ago.
And mobility is nerfed too, Leclercs use a hyperbar engine (the engine is coupled with an helicopter turbine who act like a turbo), unlike every other “basic” diesel engine in other MBTs, when the driver press the accelerator, the full power of the engine is almost instant, not “building” in time like every other MBT like it’s saddly the case ingame now…
Would give the Leclercs the big upperhand in mobility, specially from stop if Gaijin model and put the Hyperbar ingame.
To give you some idea on how look the Leclercs mobility IRL:
and:
(close the sound, music is horrible haha
But at 0:25 and specially 0:48 give you a good idea how broken it is in WT vs IRL)

The moment they decided to add the the AIM-9M, the bug report on the Magic 2 having IRCCM, wich was already a quite in depth report mind you, went from “But actually can you demonstrate how the seeker is better ?” to “Getting added next update.” nearly instantly.
Holding things for balance is nothing special for Gaijin, they’ve always tweaked things left and right, but the big downside is that it can turn very nonsensical. Like the AMX-10RC still holding onto it’s reload nerf because the turret is allegedly cramped.

yeah but gaijin decision making its questionable
Now just imagine the France TT without you, Wareta and others beating the devs into submission with your research :D
