The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

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.

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.

The 25mm on the RCV is a monster, if you can get this on a flank at the right BR it should slap.

VBC in the Italian tree is 9.3. The VBCI 25mm is quite significantly better than the VBC. Maybe not in penetration, but thermal, armor, general survivability. However, I do hope it won’t be any higher than 9.7
