One of the best indeed, but Leclercs ingame are really far from what they should be and armor is not the only problem saddly.
Firepower too, when everybody got new shells few years ago, we still have the same best shell that we got on the release of the first Leclerc ingame long time ago.
And mobility is nerfed too, Leclercs use a hyperbar engine (the engine is coupled with an helicopter turbine who act like a turbo), unlike every other “basic” diesel engine in other MBTs, when the driver press the accelerator, the full power of the engine is almost instant, not “building” in time like every other MBT like it’s saddly the case ingame now…
Would give the Leclercs the big upperhand in mobility, specially from stop if Gaijin model and put the Hyperbar ingame.
To give you some idea on how look the Leclercs mobility IRL:
The moment they decided to add the the AIM-9M, the bug report on the Magic 2 having IRCCM, wich was already a quite in depth report mind you, went from “But actually can you demonstrate how the seeker is better ?” to “Getting added next update.” nearly instantly.
Holding things for balance is nothing special for Gaijin, they’ve always tweaked things left and right, but the big downside is that it can turn very nonsensical. Like the AMX-10RC still holding onto it’s reload nerf because the turret is allegedly cramped.
I guess when the driver of the tank say that it has a fast reverse speed of 50+, it is a special mode and so will not be put into the game if this leclerc is added ?
And i’m not that hopeful on this little armor they added even with how small it is gaijin will somehow just ignore it.
Otherwise seems like that they are using shard on them now so it should be something at least on this side.
Yes, the mystery of the Leclerc’s actual top speed deepens.
The armour still hasn’t changed from the SXXI. The XLR is still a WIP and expected to weigh 63-65 tonnes. The only thing that has changed so far is some of the electronics and improved mine protection. It’s known that the optics are slated to be changed (which hasn’t occurred yet), so the armour could still change as well.
Gunner sight is having the thermal imager interchanged with 4th generation SATIS. Commander sight will be PASEO - perhaps the newest version which is why it’s taking so long?
yea but lets be honest if we give realistic reloads to autoloaders
t80 would have a 7.1s reload
t90m: 7.5 sec
t72: 7.5 sec
leclerc: 5 sec
type 10: 3.5 sec
cv90 105/ 120 : 7.5 sec to 10 sec depending on elevation
Type 99A: 6 sec
M1128 Stryker: 6 sec
AMX 13 and the SK 105 : 5 sec
and also realistically a manual loader can load rounds as fast or even faster until he becomes tired
imagine how mad people would be if that was in game
but also that would be an L for russian tanks which is funny
CV90120 does have the better autoloader of 5 second CV90105 dosent,T80’s reload are correct without including gun handling, and type 10 has a 3.4 sec to 2.2 sec depending on the power input to the autoloader, idk about ZTZ99 or the T90M but im sure the ZTZ 99 its correct as it stands correct me if im wrong
yea some tanks have emergency modes that lets them override the autoloader and give them a faster reload with a trade of damaging the breach and the autoloader itself ( Leclerc has that )
also the fire rate of the t80/72 and ztz depends on the position of the rounds they want to fire in the carousel
also form what i know the gunner for the T series has to press a button every time he wants the gun to be loaded making the loading process longer
ZTZ also has a more modern and faster autoloader that is better than the T 80 and t 72
Tbh i hope gaijin keeps the CV-105 reload the same just so it stays 10.0, as a 7.5 second reload would 100% come with a (likely undeserved) downtier. Its just unfortunate that gaijin decided to model it wrong off the bat instead of adding it with the worse reload to begin with.
t80 would have a 6.x - 7.1s reload depending on elevation.
t90m: 6.x - 7.5 sec depending on elevation.
t72: 6.x - 7.5 sec depending on elevation.
leclerc: 5 - 6.5 sec depending on elevation.
type 10: 3.5 - 5 seconds depending on elevation.
cv90 105/ 120 : 7.5 sec to 10 sec depending on elevation
Type 99A: 6 - 7.5 sec depending on elevation.
Not my opinions, just correcting your post to include the estimated maximum for all vehicles, not just Soviet and Swedish.
Last I checked for AMX-13 it was 6 flat, with a multi-minute reload of the carousel.
And M1128 is 7.5 to my knowledge, with a 7.5 second reload of the drum when turret is forward.
Manual loaded tanks would be 4 seconds for 10 rounds, then around 5 for another 10.
