Leclerc S1 name acknowledged and closed.
If implemented, then this is good. Veryyy good……

2993

The way you make it sound makes me think this has a greater impact that I believed at first. Am I missing something?

2994

using S1OP would basically make it an S2 without the AC unit, meaning it would get the exact same armor buffs as the S2.
That would also open the path for a premium prototype using the current, unbuffed S1

Additionally to @vizender words, Gaijin model the last variant of each vehicle, the last was RT5, also named S1OP.

2996

Futhermore, Gaijin always models the latest variant of a vehicle. Since Leclerc S1 currentlyhas the same armor level as the Leclerc S2, it being renamed to “Leclerc S1OP” only makes sense.

look forward to that change in 2027

Hey yall, is there a thread dedicated to the Leclerc XLR? I am curious on how it varies from current Leclercs.

Better optics (gen4 thermal imager), armor upgrade, teleported machine gun, better AZUR kit than the one in game would be the most noticeable upgrades to the s21

In your (viz)dom, do you think there’s a chance we’ll get the XLR sometime? It seems like the necessary evolution.

TBF i don’t really know why the t90m and Leo 2A7V came before the XLR considering the state of Leclercs in game. I think it might come soon, however I’d rather have a buff of current Leclerc as of now

im worried if it comes now we would have to justify so many systems and upgrades its better to wait to get the current ones fixed

It is also able to fire SHARD and Programmable amunition I think

Any Leclerc can fire SHARD Mk.1 (in fact, any NATO tank can do so, iirc the chamber pressure is even lower than DM63s which was averaging ~560 MPa at 21C).

Also HE M3M programable ammo with similar characteristics to DM11.

Understandable, have a good day
