Generally they are planned yes, but modern vehicles will have the priority.

Slightly unrelated question but is there any reason why we don’t have Leclerc prototypes for a 10.3 lineup?

Gaijin only gives useless copy and paste vehicles. When there are copy and paste vehicles that could actually be useful for France, they don’t add them lol
Same goes for VBCI Philoctète (the hull is already in the game), or the AMX-13-105 (hull and turret are already in the game). It’s sad

I have a bad feeling they’re going to add copy-pasted Leopards in the update after this one and then call it a day

I think part of the reason Benelux ground ain’t coming is because of the backlash actually. Most aircraft’s are from Belgium with only the Fokker I believe being Dutch. That might be a hint to why air came but not ground
Glad to see a lot of the Vextra 105’s issues reported by Bossman seem to have been fixed as of the latest dev server update.
It’s got it’s thermals, the weight and gun handeling has been corrected, the gun has been fixed (OFL-105 F2 still has placeholder stats though), and it’s mobility has been buffed.
As a result it is now 9.7, which fits way more with the vehicle’s correct capabilities and further strengthens the 9.7 lineup.

Just a shame it’s 9.7… Then a 11.7 JUMP, i hope then add anything at this point to fill out the gaps.
Yes, adding components is progress for the game.
But why the development of a weakness more important than a hydraulic circuit was priority for the Leclerc ? Wiht adding the healing of crew members, the survivability gap will further increase with the 4 crew MBT.
By comparison, the Ariete only received spall liner for the moment (which does not shock me).
As you said, not all autoloader arrive at the same time and there is no shortage of needed corrects for the Leclercs.
In my opinion it just serve as justification for the implement of the Russian autoloader (balancing always where we expect it) and the Leclerc will stagnated for a few years before they touch it.
I hope I’m wrong and that there will be one day an official announcement of corrections (“acknowledged” does not make any promises).
Let console ourselves, the French TT will once again be competitive with a Leo 2 :'(

yes, the change in mobility is clearly visible, and it’s good that the gunner’s sight has been corrected, but unfortunately it’s going to suffer from the same problem as the other French vehicles, too good performance in battle and an increase in BR :/
This would be incorrect.
In the last few months the Leclerc got many changes, and hopefully more will come.
The Leclerc does not use an hydraulic drive for its turret. Once possible Leclercs will receive more detailed modules, however since autoloader modules are getting added to every modern vehicle, it was decided to add atleast that, just like how it happened with the Type 10 for example.

Good to hear! Became a French ground player recently (just last month, really nice and fun tree I just wish they cared about it more). I’m down there already and researching the AMX-10RC. The VEXTRA sounds like it’s going to be good for a 9.3 - 9.7 lineup now
This is not exactly the case. A destroyed autoloader will not stop you from firing compared to a damaged breech, it will just prevent you from loading new shells.
Yes the Leclerc has received buffs one exemple is the 5sec reload
But we have been asking for an armor buff and a new shell for more than 2 years
Am really disappointed

what ever happened to the mobility reports did they fall into the void.
I wonder what happened to that honestly
And it’s been 2 years since we’ve been getting documents from Sweden or I don’t know where…
Report for Leclerc and Vextra thermals has been updated: Community Bug Reporting System
Me explaining to the devs why it should be 3rd gen:
But for real, there’s zero reason it shouldn’t be.
If anyone was wondering why I’ve been reluctant to work on Leclerc armour reports… well, that’s going to take considerably more time and effort than this thermals report 💀. Speaking of, Vextra bug reports occupied much of my time this week so armour reports are going to be delayed but at least the Vextra should come as a top-tier worthy light tank in the interim.

Bro had to use the comment section to fit all of it lol
Amazing job as always man. Even though I can’t wait to see the Leclerc armor report, don’t press yourself about it ; I believe you’ve earned yourself a well earned rest.
