Just wait until you can take out the whole enemy team on the ground and in the air with just a few clicks lol

This will cater perfectly to all the kids with 5 second attention span. Spawn, see the whole map with gen 3 thermal pod from above. nuke all important positions and aa, turn cold, rearm. Much gameplay, much tactics.

Ah yes, point and click simulator masquerading behind fancy graphics
That’s one of the reasons why France packs such a punch at the high echolons. Since all of the Leclercs are nearly identical, you don’t loose any capability when selecting an earlier one. You got the same round (less powerful than what 11.7 will have), nearly same armor (which isn’t much of a showstopper), but at least decent mobility and a fast rotating turret and capable reload - and no degrading performance in that regard, which could be a psychological thing (but maybe it is just me, I’m taking a 6.7 recoilless shitbox into 10.3 games and laugh my ass off when I pull a sneaky on someone).
It is a strength of France, I’m not going to dismiss that. But it still is necessary to point out that other nations apparently need much better armor and a mega-round to be of equal power, even though they are definitely better on hard stats alone.

Yeah if the Leclercs got their much needed fixes (not happening lmao) it would be an incredibly powerful lineup, maybe the best. Everyone could definitely need more support vehicles though.
It’s very disappointing to see how French ground has been handled. I barely even touch France these days because everything just gets shafted or over-BR’ed in some way. Especially, after how the Vextra 105 was butchered, I lost pretty much all motivation for trying to get any more fixes for other French vehicles - there’s plenty of bug reports (especially for the Leclerc) that I’ve mothballed for months at this point because what’s the point anyway? But, to be honest, seeing this post has motivated me to get off my ass again. Perhaps one last hurrah before I’m done with this game for good. But thanks for stopping by to say this.

Strike a blow at gaijin hq’s bug department with your sword of truth
Every day I come to “The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff” with the hope of seeing this report come out.
Much respect to @Mulatu_Astatke

While thats somewhat true you will still pay a higher sp cost for every mbt spawn after the first one since u dont have any other means (except spaa) to get a second chance to regain footing in the match by spawning a cheap light tank. And being hit but still surviving, well, while u gotta be lucky with that and still having the same reload it will still hamper your other stats like turret rotation. And having 4 mbts which (i know cause it happened to me) can get penned frontally with crew shot out by a fking shilkas 23 mm ap shells with 50 mm flat pen doesnt help. One would think that wouldnt happen to the worlds most expensive mbt but who am i to know? im not in the military and sure as hell never will be.
My point being is that it’s actually baffling how it seems like a main nation is struggling in top tier it feels like bam a couple of weeks or a month later theres a buff out of nowhere that they actually didn’t need in the first place. Like the abrams problem: actually awesome tank but with some exploitable weakspots with now: one of the best rounds in top tier, ufp that will bounce top tier apfsds, proxy fuze heat fs which helps vs heli rushers and the occasional (slow) plane, tons of 50 cals and 5 seconds reload. And then the leclercs: same reload, autoloader, basically no armor (frontal pen by shilka wtf?), one of the worst rounds in top tier while better ones are in service. Yeah i can see why not more ppl are playing minor nations and why ppl maybe grinding those as first or second nation are a bit disillusionised about the way this is handled. (while closing in at 4000 posts on this with not to many changes afaik)

i mean does it still hold true that the first two leclers which are 11.7 you still have to research apfsds with heat-fs?
Yes because it’s a rank thing, and not a BR thing. It’s fairly daft but that can’t be helped since France is the only country with a whacky 2 full BR gap between 9.7 to 11.7. Having the Roland standing as the sole TVII of the tree would be fairly funny granted, but Gaijin is not much for fun these days.
Likewise, the VEXTRA, Centauro ROMOR, rkw90, and Type 16 are all 9.7s with close enough characteristics to one another, yet the VEXTRA and ROMOR don’t get a thermal drone while the other two do because they are TVII instead of TVI.
It’s on of those things that is what it is…
No change BR, No Leclerc’s buff GG

And no excuses
if we try to prove that Leclerc is Russian could this help the bug reports???

Personally, the Leclerc is my favorite (and most played) top tier MBT simply because it combines being unique (being able to shoot over the engine deck, coaxial .50, unique design, autoloader with blowout panels) with being meta (very fast, 5s reload, great targeting speed and thermal suite).
Overall it’s a blast to play and I hope to see it get fixed.

Hello @Smin1080p_WT , could you please provide a response? It is rather frustrating to see the M1A1 HC at a lower BR to the Leclerc S1, S2 and AZUR despite being a better tank in virtually every regard.

Hello
At the moment the efficiency of the Leclercs do not allow them to be lower than the top BR as they are far from being the worst preforming top MBTs in game currently.
We may review this in the future should their situation change.
