i beg u not no leak more classified info
You don’t have to worry. The people that have been reporting the Leclerc for the recent months have a strict policy of using only open source documents. That also means reports are hard to make tho, especially the few remaining ones concerning armor
I’ve been thinking about this for awhile; would it make sense for the Leclerc in game to have a LWS/LR? I think it has the GALIX System irl which points the turret towards a laser source to deploy smoke grenades but I’m not sure if thats enough for it to be added to a vehicle in WT (assuming it doesn’t actually indicate to the crew where the laser came from, other than turning the turret)

The Galix system is quite modular. The LWS/LR is not always mounted on GALIX systems. The Leclerc S1, S2 and S21 in game do not possess any LWS, at least not that we know of.
The Leclerc AZUR however has its LWS modelled. it’s the mast in the middle right of the turret. There is a pending report on it dating back from its dev server introduction but has never been corrected.

There was also a 360° panoramic sight installed on the AZUR at one point (but it’s not in-game):
The sight was produced by Israel’s ODF Optronics but it doesn’t appear as it would have any real benefits in War Thunder.
Well, after a bit of break from bug reporting Leclercs, expect to see many more very soon.
We’ll start with this though: Leclerc (All Variants) Incorrect Driver’s Sight NVD Generation
This should improve the resolution of the 3rd person NVD in night battles (not that anyone seems to play them).

That can only be armor reports then. Nice

So, in the new update that just dropped, I’ve noticed that the range finder of the Leclerc specifically got buffed. Now, the automatic ranging of the gun is instant the moment you press the rangefinder button. No other French vehicles has it from my testing. Is it a top tier only thing across different nations for people that have other top tiers ?
IDK, I will go test.
Edit: ZTZ99A as far as I am aware does not have that capability.
For now I see that :
Leclerc, Vextra, CV90105 have it
M1A1 AIM, Leopard 2PL, ZTZ99A don’t. I wonder what are the requirement to have it

IDK, ZTZ99A is still… WTF is with the JF17 engine, it has less thrust than Mig21? The official data is 8.4 ton, and all we get is 6.7?
It’s the same as any other laser rangefinder though; takes about 0.5 seconds on every MBT I’ve tested.
Not on the Leclerc, Vextra, CV90105. Those 3 instantly move the gun when pressing the range finding button
Not on my end, that’s weird, hahah.
You can see in this video what I am talking about. The laser rangefinder takes some time to give you the distance, but the gun itself aims instantly
How odd, mine works the same as ever;
that’s very strange… I’ve tested the AZUR and s21, as well as the Vextra. Which ones are you on ?
AZUR, 21, and S2!
well, who knows. Maybe I was given a cheat code lmao
Sooo, I tried again, thinking it might have been a bug that was quickfixed. Still works on the S21 and AZUR. It does not on the S1 and S2 however. Vextra does work as well
Edit : My crews are level 150, one Aced one expert for testing. Tanks are spaded
