The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

Yeah all they have to do is give it it’s 3rd gen thermals and OFL F2 and it’ll be even superior to the 10.0 Type 16
Makes zero sense for it to be 8.7 since we already have the AMX-10RC to fill the gap of a wheeled TD

In lieu of any dedicated threads for the Vextra, here’s the current list of bug reports:

Tomorrow I will do the missing thermals, OFL 105 F2 and commander sight zoom. If that’s all implemented the Vextra 105 will probably be one of the most accurate modern vehicles in-game.

Do you have any detailed views on the fourth axle ? Gaijin modeled it as a steering axle, but that seems implausible.

@Bossman919 as always, lots of thanks for your work and timeless dedication.

This is why I felt a need for a new profile picture. I swear that making that bug report alone made me age a few months xD

Anyway, making OFL 105 F2 report for Vextra now. Penetrator dimensions and all @aaaa23456789

Ah it’s all good. The struggle itself toward a fixed French vehicle is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine the French bug reporter happy.

I haven’t really looked at the model to be honest. Only enough to sus everything out and grab some screenshots. Though the turning diameter seemed pretty accurate according to sources so I don’t really want to touch that lol.

Damn. Three posts in a row.

This we need

Do you mean Vextra 105 only can fire 489mm pen (as you calculated) OFL-105-F2? Will it able to fire any darts less powerful (such as OFL-105-F1, OFL-105-G2)? Otherwise it will not have a Tier I dart for smoothly grinding purpose.

All NATO standard shells (105×617mmR). Only F2 gun can’t use it, because have only 105×528mmR

According to what is visible on the dev server. They preferred to model a new weakness (what the autoloder represents) for the Leclerc rather than correct the armour …

How should we understand it?

Autoloaders Models are planned to get modeled for every vehicle that has them, Leclerc makes no exception. Vehicles that still haven’t got it will get it soon.

Even lower tier vehicles? AMX-13s, DF-105, AMX-50s etc?

For the French drum autoloaders (AMX M4, Lorraine 40T, TOA100, etc.) I’d imagine this would cause an old annoyance to return in a new form.

The 100mm drum loaders used to get their breaches completely destroyed by hits to the hull, as the drum magazine was modeled as apart of the gun breach for quite a while.

Them modeling the autoloading mechanisms on these tanks would 100% result in such frustration returning, so I’m hoping that destroying autoloaders on vehicles where the crew can manually load the gun won’t completely prevent the tank from reloading, rather instead forcing a way longer (and interuptable) reload.

A damaged autoloader causing the same issues as a damaged gun breech would be both unoriginal and even more annoying.
