I dunno why people are so upset by this. The French tech tree has lacked SPAA for the longest time. I think the fact that they’re finally adressing this issue is not a bad thing (though it would be nice if the low-mid tier SPAA were a bit more WW2 friendly.)

I think the problem is that was a multi year wish and well the amx 10p could have had a Milan, which is even more upsetting because the addition of the tpk it invalidates the amx 10p making it in my opinion a useless addition with how its implemented currently.

Its not a complete negative they just over delivered on a request which isn’t bad but with how long it takes changes to come to vehicles or the tech tree in the past it feels like a wasted ticket

Seems like they are working on my acceleration report, since one of the change was correct the forward speed/reverse speed.
Also FYI its not Roof MG but the Coaxial, seem they’re changing the name of some other stuff, but we will see tomorrow hopefully.

did they ever say anything about the roof mg report in the past

Leclerc MBTs have no pressure chamber to allow to evacuate the fumes

That allows more velocity (thanks to higher calibre) with a shorter package (Leclerc’s main gun caliber is L52 while the Leopard 2A5 is L44)

The counterpart to this advantage is that the Leclerc needs to be NRBC sealed to fire its main gun so it’s impossible to use the roof-mounted MG.


That could be the reason, of course in game we do now have tankers getting out to fire the roof MG’s, but thats a fair reason i guess.
I personally didn’t bothered much to look at it, but if i gather more informations i will eventually report it.

İs there any news for upcoming armor report?

You mentioned couple weeks ago that new report will be here soon.

Not yet.

Okay thanks.

I’m a bit confused as to why there are so minor adjustments for the speed. I guess some ratios got changed, but really, they are so insignificant that I would honestly begin to question: Why? Because this is honestly an irrelevant change. Unless an overall change happened which will be important in the future.

Otherwise, this took time away from other, more interesting features or fixes that could be worked on.

[Edit] So the reason comes from the Leclerc being fixed to a limit of 72 kph. That’s why. I guess you cannot argue with what is a documented fix.

im gonna say because you dont need to take balance into account you can just make the change and not have to think about it

Because they could even have been working on the report about the acceleration, one of the changes was in fact fixing the speeds.

Is anyone able to give a try to the Leclerc low-speed mobility/neutral steering?
How do they feel?

Spaded + full + expert Leclerc S.XXI (on road):

360º neutral steer: 10 seconds
0-50 km/h: 10 seconds
0-72 km/h: 21 seconds

I don’t know how it used to be, but I don’t think there’s been any change too noticeable so far.

I have been told by some people that the vehicle feels better/more nimbe at low speed, hence why i asked. I will do more tried myself later.

Yep, same numbers here. Slightly faster because my crew is ace, but practically unnoticeable.
I come from a week of playing the Challengers though, so even a tetraplejic slug feels fast.
