Could you be able to please recommend a lobotomist for all us French mains so we could try to lower the efficiency of the Leclercs? Seems to have worked for the American mains… (I’m joking)
But this is a very disappointing answer to be honest. It’s not like having the S1, S2 and AZUR at 11.7 would have any real effects. Could you provide any insight into how the devs plan to rectify the now 2.3 BR gap for France between 9.7-12.0?
Future vehicles are planned to occupy and populate these gaps.
Probably some copy pasted Leopard 2s which no one wants?
Inb4 Japan gets more French tanks this year than France through an ASEAN subtree xD
So we’re back to square one…

For the love of god, stop balancing vehicles through player stats and instead balance vehicles through their features.
Also, if they can’t get any lower then give the Leclerc and Leclerc S2 stock APFDS. Stock HEAT at 12.0 is insanity.
This will never happen, because USA/Germany/Russia will always bring more players than other nations, and because they’re more popular it also means that they’ll also have more average and bad players dragging stats down even with better vehicles, while other nations will have more dedicated players keeping averages up.
It’s completely unfair to punish players of minor nations for having a higher skill floor.
Like, there’s no objective arguments for the Ariete being as good as the Leopard 2A7, yet your way of balancing is claiming that they are. This alone should cause you to reconsider your approach to balancing.
Don’t forget a pallet of CV90whatever because somehow the majority of French light tanks got Thanos snapped.
Just deal with it, or quit playing, you guys are in a loop. France sucks (in WT, no offense); you guys get better; no body new comes to play France, 2 reasons, no premium + it sucks; only old players means no premium spam to pull down winrate; higher win rate; gaijing doesn’t want to do anything about it, 2 reasons: cause it seems like you are doing fine, and no new players are paying for French premiums. Maybe a lot of you quit playing will pull down win rate and force them to do something.
You’re probably the reason there’s always a chair facing the bed in a hotel room.
Sorry I didn’t mean it like that. Although stop playing would lower win rate, that would force Gaijing to open their eyes and see the situation. The Chinese players took a few days off and we got ZTZ99A fixed, maybe you could do the same.
I guess it’s cool that we’ll get new tanks in the tree (even when supposedly its mostly leos and shermans), yet it’s odd that in-service domestic designs like the ERC 90 and EBRC Jaguar might get added after them. I wonder if we’ll get Leos 2A8 through Netherlands if/when they’re added xd
I wish they removed DM53 from the Arietes, fixed their armor (wouldn’t make much of a difference anyway), and placed them at 11.0, where they belong (after the 12.0 update).
Balance should be done through historical fixes and BRs, not by giving unhistorical shells.
I suggested this some time ago, but my evil scheme wasn’t carried out by anyone xD.

Ever since, rate of fire and gun handling were fixed, but mobility and armor issues are still there… we still got a long way ahead of us!
What can we say ? We simply can’t help it …
What is statistically the worst performing MBT in game currently?
WHat does that mean though, the worse win rate, US. K/D wise IDK but maybe US as well.
Once again, remove the top round of the S1 and S2 and suddenly their performance decreases. This isn’t difficult to do, nor is it something that shouldn’t be done. It would not only help to fill the massive gap from 10.0 to 11.3, but would also better differentiate the Leclercs, as currently the S1 and S2 are effectively almost identical to the SXXI.
I mean if you just give it a sort of 3BM42 equivalent it will be balanced with with Type90s quite well, 0.3 BR up (11.3-11.7 post BR change) and gets slightly better armour.
The tier 1 shell is good enough for 11.0.
No as in post update, they will all move 0.3 BR up anyway, so Leclerc could go 11.7 with all others, like Clickbait and T80U premium which are kinda equivalent, mobility wise abrams and Leclerc are on par, T80 is significantly worse but trades that for better thermals, rounds and protection. Leclerc has best mobility but worse round. Abrams has worse thermals.
The Leclerc without its top round would be worse than the Type 90 at 11.3. Therefore, it should be at 11.0.
How? Similar mobility, Leclerc slightly worse, same thermals, similar round, slightly slower reload but Leclerc has massively superior armour.
