Another copy paste Leclerc incoming.
Either premium or another TXK(P) syndrome.
This is actıally nice if its true.
XLR? Maybe, since they gotta give some kind of incentive for people to buy the new packs, but Shard is just a bit of stretch, we have many rounds that haven’t been implemented and I don’t think they will give us the strongest one. The only one possibility is that they actually want to separate rank 7 and 8 Leclerc and make them different.
My issue with a Leclerc prototype is that the current S1 in game basically is the prototype. It does not have its improved armor found on EMAT Leclercs (same for all Leclercs in game basically)

Thats why said XLR will be basically another copy paste cause aside from improved turret armor on front section nothing will change.
İ highly doubt Gaijin will increase armor protection now.
Does a tone have good data/reliable sources for SHARD? Haven’t seen any
Leclerc prototype will most likely be the new pack premium
Tehre are a bit of informations considering its an APFSDS made for export, contrary to the other OFL120 that were only tested by and for the Leclerc, so informations are extremely hard to come by
Leclerc S1 and S2 are at top tier and they don’t get stock darts. Those 2 are even more of a pain to grind.

Best secondary source we have is: Nexter 120 mm SHARD: towards tailored APFSDS solutions - EDR Magazine
Key points
+. Performance improvement of 20% compared to older ammunition (OFL F1 and F1+).
+.The APFSDS is made of D10 tungsten carbide alloy.
+.“propellant gases press the sabot around the penetrator, strengthening the design of the overall projectile, which allowed us to decrease the mass of the sabot, hence improving the energy delivered to the penetrator.”
+.“The new ammunition we announced, what I would call the SHARD Mk1, is just the first step, and it is the lower performance we can obtain with this kind of concept. […] As said initially, we started with a conventional double-base propellant, keeping the pressure low. This gives us a considerable margin, so if we go for a more energetic propellant and increase pressure up to the maximum allowed, we will have a much higher muzzle velocity hence a higher kinetic energy at muzzle and on the target, but this will be the SHARD Mk2”
So…DM63-DM73 equivalent at best.

Speaking of new ammo, does anyone have good sources on French “polynege” smart top attack ammo?
I can find tons of info for the US designed STAFF shell as a US citizen, but quality french sources are difficult to come by.
120mm HE M3M would be pretty nice, I think. Should perform similarly to existing time fuse programmable ammo Merkava has in-game. “Polynege” and STAFF would be just an interesting option to explore.

ERA evraywhere was less common when i grinded them.
Still i think my brain just deleted the trauma from my mind. Don’t even want to imagine how it is to grind them now
I can’t see why it can’t be added
Oh don’t worry, it’s gonna be added to every NATO tank in WT, except Leclercs.

Didn’t they say they had a Leclerc copeblog in the making? The brits got theirs on their challengers so where is the Leclerc one? We’re almost at 2.5k replies and still almost none of the fixes have been implemented…

I think they’ll fix a lot of things regarding Leclercs situation in the next update, especially if they release the XLR and a premium leclrc

I hope so…
let’s hope for the best

DM53 is currently underperforming fyi. The density is too low (per Rheinmetall).
