You must aim better than me (which is not difficult) but I can’t kill Russian tanks.
Sorry that just bs.
Consistent line-up requires at least 3mbts+1Spaa+1 Plane+1 helicopter and optional IFV.

Is your balance department completely unaware of the concept of survivorship bias? I tried to phrase this politely and this is the best I got. I do think it is about time your organisation check this, as if they are not then they’ve no place making decisions regarding the balance of the game.
There are so many ways you could account for the outlier of a small group of very competent players in your datasets to get a far more fair view of how the tanks are actually performing. Or hell, you could just compare how terribly modeled Leclercs/Challys/Arietes are compared to big 3 tanks. Which are also dubiously modeled, but significantly closer to reality than what we’ve been given.

Assuming you have five crew slots:
-Leclerc S.XXI
-Leclerc AZUR
-ItO 90M
-Support vehicle (Vextra 105 or Mephisto are the best options)
-Either Tiger HAP bl 2, Mirage 2000-5F, or Mirage 4000 for CAS
I have had good lineups than only had one MBT. Any decent player doesn’t need more than two.
I currently have this issue, having only 5 slots to fit in CAS MBTs and Spaa is full enough, I maybe would consider removing Heli/support for an extra MBT, just cause there are times when spawnpoints are of plenty but people are all on planes and the game is lost.
The cheeks of the Type 90 aren’t penetrable with 3BM42 from the front even at point blank to me 🤷♂️
Also, Type 90’s turret has a smaller profile so it’s a bit less likely to be hit.
But frankly it’s essentially a cripple fight. Both have terrible armor, and what little they do have is in the areas they’re the less likely to be hit.

The other thing I might say is Japan is basically US with CAS so France is a bit less likely to bring so much CAS, since the ITOM might actually be useful. I am deciding whether for my Chinese lineup Tor is worth giving up VT4, Japan faces same issue, is type 81C worth going for if you can just use F15Js.
I personally never run helis unless I have a spare spot and no fixed wing CAS to fill it.
If everything goes according to my plan I’ll be able to buy the Leclerc S1, SXXI, Azur and ItO in the upcoming sale (if I manage to grind at least 55k RP per day, which is doable). So my personal french top tier lineup will likely be S1 + SXXI + AZUR + ItO + 35NL + Mirage F1 prem or 2000C S4.
The matter of the problem is that many French top tier players on play top tier for the CAS. tiger, m2k and f16 are the reason France has good stats.
Leclercs, not so much. This is why I don’t play top tier anymore

I mean I have this issue with China, but obviously Chinese helis are useless cause their RWR don’t work, they are the same as the ones on F100. Anyway, I will get Maverick for F16 today, should I go for 3 or 6, cause 6 I can’t bring AIm7M.

Leclerc is the reason, cause it does do well when the player is really good, the fast reload and good depression can be utilised very well, and because there is no premium spam (yet). Like Abrams are ok, and US has great CAS, but due to Clickbait their top tier is miserable to say the least.
Even decent players will need more than 2.
Just because people dont find your opinion as valid view doesnt mean they have skill issue.
I’m going to run with 2 anyway since i play China mainly, but for Leclerc, unless you have infinite supply of backup crews, there is no point not bringing 3 + CAS + Crotale.
“Want” and “need” are very different. If you die enough to warrant needing to replace support vehicles with more MBTs, you aren’t decent at the game.
I only use light tanks to fill up remaining spots that can’t be filled with MBTs, SPAA or Planes and even if I have one in my lineup I only use them as last spawns.
However my skill level is more than fine and stats are higher than your account, curious hmmm. And I don’t even think I’m that good at the game, above average I would rate myself.
Once again, “want” and “need” are very different. People don’t need more than two MBTs, but some want them.
Sure buddy keep telling yourself people who brought more than 2mbts have skill issues.
Mirage 2000 and spading my Leclercs were the only reason I played top BR France.
I can continue spading later, China and HSTVL call my name for now.
You guys just can’t help but constantly misinterpret what I’m saying, huh?
