I hope they don’t make the same mistake as with the vextra with its armor because it can have armor level 5 to level 6 so will resist 30mm apfsds
Unfortunately these are the kind of reports that have to wait for general rework of automotive components. The reports that are less unlikely to pass are the ones that only affect the Leclercs, such as the UFP and similar.

What do you mean “ce tea”?
Probably my auto correct and I don’t remember what I wanted to say
Gaijin be like: 30mm? OK, upper frontal armor 30mm rolled steel plate, there you go.
I’m pretty sure VBCI actually commonly wields an armor kit, which would be honestly worth it for out-ranging other IFVs, but the AMX-10RC never got its irl armor so probably not
VBCI uses MARS 600 and 3000 ultra high strength armor steel, there are reports about them, maybe they’ll be implemented with a new addition
we don’t worry about that, gajin is in charge of everything they are used to doing things well so the vbci 2 will I think be able to resist stone throwing… thrown from not too close 🤣
Well the MARS-15 uses MARS steel made to stop 14.5mm but can’t stop 7.62s, as with the Vextra and its armor being too thin at some angles, but I will hold out hope, since VBCI Mk2 T40 is such a different choice from Gaijin’s usual list of choices
Where’s my AZUR LWS and Cope Cage Gaijoob?

I’m curious. Where was this taken and in which context ?
This photo was taken on the Larzac, in France during testing of the protection of the Leclerc XLR by the Technical Section of the French Army (STAT)

no vbci 2 just a vbci 1… spuer…
From the leakers we should still get a cta40 so most likely the jaguar.
And at least we get a tech tree vbci that should be more usable compared to the premium one.

I prefer to be wary, knowing the artists…

Would’ve prefered VBCI-2 but 1 is fine too, but where will it go BR-wise, 9.3? Surely not 9.7, Vextra still sits there ;y

It will likely be 9.3, a welcome addition.

i hope they add more 9.3 vehicles so i can sometimes leave the 9.7 hell
Would you mind sharing the link to this Discord group? I’m pretty sure that according to the list from another always-accurate leaker, the VBCI and Rafale are the only vehicles France can get.
