True, sorry for that.
to be fair your french guy started the fight lol
I couldn’t care less about who started or not, if you guys want to discuss about other vehicles to that an appropriate spaces, this is not the proper space for it.

An ex-military aviator, reactor in chief for Air & Cosmos ( https://air-cosmos.com/home ), is in contact with french volunteers and is often called in national news for his expertise. True, wipipédia and The Buzz arefar more reliable…
seeing how you dont consider the words of active war personal yeah, definitly not reliable
Anyway, steering the thread back to the topic…
A few people were asking how the bug reports are going… Currently there has been no change to the ones which have been acknowledged.
All the bug reporting is done except for armour. In this case, as a rough idea at what we’ll be looking at:
- The S1 is missing up to 100mm of composite across the frontal arc
- The SXXI is missing up to 200mm of composite across the frontal arc
- The S2 is somewhere in between
- Overall increases in protection
There’s a few things that need to be resolved, hearing back from people as well as making sure everything is accounted for before moving ahead with a report. This could take a while.
In the mean time, we are looking for people who know how to create user missions. We need to do some testing of the Leclerc with a few tweaked parameters, such as:
- Changing the top speeds for each gear
- Changing the rpm at which max horsepower is available
Basically copying and pasting the Leclerc in-game into a user mission with a few lines of code changed. If anyone is able to help us with this or put us in touch with someone it would be deeply appreciated.
Hopefully, we see some improvements soon with the current bug reports!

bruh 45k answers to this topic is so wild
I hope Gaijin is COOKING in secret something for Leclercs they’ll release with the premium Leclerc

At this rate I’m certain Gaijin is cooking up a Swede Leclerc variant that will recieve 5s reload, actual hyperbar engine performance and vastly improved armor through appliqué composite. Gaijin will jump through as many hoops as possible to prevent a french tech buff, as historical precedent has shown.

Yea considering the BR changes the french just need to play like american premium tank buyers for a buff
Please chill with the derail.
Anyway,
I just had a scary thought: The Mirage 4000 was passed to devs for consideration in october 2023 and was added last update. The Vextra POLE was passed for consideration in november 2023, and they just removed the AMX-30 Super as the premium pack…
I really, really hope that doesn’t mean that the Vextra POLE will be the new premium. That thing needs to go in the tech tree.
You wanna see something even more stupid?
The skirts of the Strv 122B+ offers a slightly better CE protection and significantly better KE protection for only half the weight increase of the Leclerc AZUR (400kg increase from the Strv 122A to Strv 122B+, 800kg from Leclerc S2 to Leclerc AZUR).
And keep in mind that the additional weight of the Strv 122B+ isn’t limited to just the skirts, the turrets sides also were uparmored, spreading those 400kg all over the tank while the AZUR’s 800kg is mostly limited to the skirts and remote turret.
The blatant discrepancies in terms of weight/protection between the two is insane.
And before anyone says “that’s because one is composite and the other ERA”, it has already been pointed out that the AZUR’s skirts aren’t ERA but NERA/Composite, just like the issues on the Challengers that @Mytho-GR1 mentionned above.

High tier premium packs, usually, aren’t unique to their TT; the only exception i can think of is Obj.120. Could be a GE premium tho (2S38, T114, VBCI, …)
Plot twist: Next update Gaijin decompress top tier (11.7->12.3) and France gets a UAE Leclerc as premium pack.
Now that you said this, it will happen.

As far as we know, only a single prototype of the Vextra POLE exists and there’s nothing else like it, so if it gets added as a premium there simply won’t be anything similar to add to the tree.
So yeah, the Vextra POLE has to go to the tree. If Gaijin feels like adding a premium stabilized light tank to France, they can add the AMX-10RC TML.

Well, there also is the vectors 105 which I believe has its turret based on the TML as well, and this one was passed about 1-2 years ago

Yeah they assume thay its just all ERA and not NERA ERA sandwich
Should have better ce protection then the russian ERA

I have one book by photosniper, called “Char Lecerc”. In that are a few hints at the armour changes - also that the Batch 3 seriè une had a protection increase on the commanders side, etc. There’s rough claims about increase of armor protection, but nothing precise like concrete values. Except for speed which it states that they Leclercs could hit up to 90 kph wwhen the crews were training in the desert.
It’s a secondary source, obviously. Also it is the only I own. If you need let me know. But you might have it alredy.

A Leclerc is quite likely, as the Rank VII Premiums are just capable MBT variants that went through the gold shower, essentially.
I’d personally rather wish for a French Leclerc. Some specific one with a name that’s famous - and make it a S2, for sure. Just looks so much better.

They won’t add 11.7 premiums
well if they increase the br cap to 12.0 they would
