you had to move the back of the turret away from the engine before. I haven’t tried it with the new patch though.
If you let the ammo cook just over the engine, the fire spreads to said engine and fire extinguishers are needed, so putting the turret 90° left or right relative to the hull will usually mitigate the problem
For French mains, it’s easy to get jaded when multiple features to make your tank competitive get ignored due to “statistics”. Granted, every nation suffers from some aspect of it, but France is so underplayed that the general feeling is that many issues are overlooked based on average player performance.
Don’t get me wrong, that reload buff was a long overdue godsend, but it’s not enough for me to “prefer” the Leclerc over other MBTs. At least one more major buff/correction would be appreciated in my opinion, the easiest of which is a stronger round like SHARD to get the Leclerc to a level similar to the Type 10.
Imo a mobility “buff” would be better
Report about the acceleration re-done with more informations
Leclerc MBTs acceleration is too low // Gaijin.net // Issues
It certainly comes down to a matter of opinion, either would be welcome but preferably both. I personally haven’t had as many issues with mobility compared to firepower in terms of gameplay. Though, I have found that the lack of a LWS does hurt my survivability quite a bit.
I pray
What source material do we have for this?
Because nobody really said this, thank you for your acknowledgement of going off topic and the respect for the thread. I highly value it.
Ah yes, because we all remember back when the Abrams had a 5 second reload, had it nerfed to 6 seconds, than had it restored.
/s
The Leclerc’s reload already use to be 5 seconds before it was nerfed for “le balance” reasonings. Even when it was 5 seconds, Leclerc still suffered and continues to suffer from many glaring issues; mainly mobility, and armor.
Having a stupid nerf that never should have happened reverted doesn’t mean we are suddenly going to shut up about the issues that already existed and continue to exist with Leclerc before said reload nerf even occured.

(updated for the 492th time in a row, including more sources and gear ratios for each gear, including speed for each gear, hopefully this will be the last)
Is it just me or did they make ammo more vulnerable? After the new patch I feel like ammo cooks at least once every two game?
They did
There’s a documentary like report of the firing tests of the Leclerc that specifically mentions that the auto loader is able to sustain 3s reload is necessary. Granted that’s only 1 source
This is for every tank, generally Challengers, Russian Tanks and Ariete are the most affected, since the others have blowout panels.
Any chance you could also report the lack of “transversal”? mobility
I mean, Leclerc is the 2nd lowest MBT of the game to perform a 360°turn, he loses all his speed when we turns hard, IRL it’s not doing that at all, should be really more agile than leo/abrams
Cannot do anything about it, unfortuantley that is something Gaijin have to fix by implementing regenerative steering.
If after they fix my report about the acceleration this is not resolved automatically, i will make an additional report.
Your work is very great, thank you very much for your dedication!
A new video on Leclerc tank has been released and we can see that his mobility is much better in real life than in game. (go to 24min29)
lmao I just saw the video and wanted to post an article, then i saw your’s about the exact same thing !
hehe désolé
