I’ve smelled a Leclerc buff, so my utter contempt for Gaijin has turned into me being able to interact with the game again.
Good job Escargot, you did the bare minimum.
Wich one? The 5s ? Or another one since ?
Following in order:
- Gun Handling Changes (40/30, was 30/36)
- Reload Buff
- Top Speed to 72km/h which improved the hull traverse as well
Hopefully next one will further fix its mobility.

Do you at least get paid to deal with the extra brain cell loss as a moderator?

I feel for him. I’m sure he really wants to answer to you but can’t anymore since he is a mod

Is the report still good for this month?

French ground troops above 10.0 are almost impossible to play now.
Why do you refuse to send Leclerc S1 and S2 to 11.0? They are clearly no better than the M1A1 and TKX (P) in terms of maneuverability, survivability, and even penetration depth (575mm for OFL 120 F1 compared to 598mm for M829A1)
If you need an 11.7 tank, you can add the Leclerc XLR.
Yeah problem with XLR is that complete upgrade pack is still unknown. We’ve seen some pictures that don’t actually compare to the written informations (ie, not having the upgraded PASEO optics for example).
The 2 main issues with the Leclerc for me are the protection (especially of the hull) and the mobility. Both should be easy fixes if devs were actually willing to listen to the player feedbacks and reports but hey.
However France top tier isn’t unplayable, Leclercs might not be very good, but at least you compete with 4 very good CAS vehicles (Mirage 2000D/-5F, Mirage 4000, tiger HAD block 2) which somewhat makes the BR worth playing to me

I can’t believe the USA and the Germans are going for 130mm with their next MBT. By the time they’re going to enter service, they’ll be made obsolete by the French 140mm.
Can’t wait to see the size of the vehicle that will use the ASCALON lol

The simple fact that the 130mm is based on a 120mm but with a larger chamber. That means that the gun will ultimately be limited in its prospective upgrades at they will already reach their chamber pressure. As for the 140mm, as it is a completely new gun, it should be able to be upgraded further (higher chamber pressure, longer gun…)
And is bigger
RH 130 its made to be optimized for firing at high pressure with 20+MJ, the purpose of the cannon its to use every single bit of energy possible, and allowing to have higher pressure capacities for further iterations of a possible new apfsds, one of the worries of increasing the caliber its the higher weight and high lose of velocity and hence why 130 mm was selected as the main choice because this would be an issue unless it could achieve higher pressure.
Is this the same 130mm that was in that challenger 2 with 130mm
yeah, and its autoloaded btw
