I think acceleration is more important for retreating or relocating a bit.
Other than that, not really a groundbreaking advantage. Being a bit more snappy and responsive on a battlefield is always nice i suppose, but acceleration isn’t the whole equation
Let’s keep the challenger discussion outside of the Leclerc thread.
As for cramped vehicles, the Leclerc is notoriously cramped, as the auto loader prevents any passage between turret crew position, and the commander has to do some weird contorsionniste stuff to reach the driver (only 2 escape hatches are present, so the commander has to escape through the driver escape hatch)
still enjoying the MSC more or less. I only really dislike that the Thermals are incredibly bad and it that its reload is 6 seconds because of “balance”. Also this could just be me but the mobility on it seems really wonky and sluggish.
They are moving the MSC to 11.0 next br change. Why must all my favorite 10.7s be kill
Because we all knew the MSC was not 10.7 material but gaijin just had to nerf the reload and put it there because they just had to add the copy paste leopard before without a lineup.
I really dont get why the MSC is moving up in BR especially still without its reload speed fix from 6 to 5 seconds as it is the same autoloader as the leclercs, gaijin dont seem to understand that player skill =/= vehicle performance, this is likely also the reason why the 8.0 90mm french tanks like the char 25T and AMX50 (TO90) is fighting 9.0s with a 90mm gun from 6.7
Because a very good or good French vehicule is not acceptable for the dev’s, and that’s all.
Now at top tier range, it is basically dead. Exactly according to their policies regarding French stuff.
From “France needs it to fill a gap” to dead and forgoten in less than 2 month. Yeah everything they stated was bullshit all along, to the surprise of no one.
The most annoying thing about it going up is it’s yet again alone in its BR bracket without a line up. Everything you’ll now bring with it will be uptier’d…
Naive to think Gaijin doesn’t take nation’s skill level into consideration.
Having so much fun in 12.0 uptiers with the roland 1 and duking it out with IRIS-t in the super etendard.
Very glad they killed one of Frances most fun lineups that made grinding for top tier somewhat tolerable just so they can sell their copypaste leopard no one asked for. Really the full french experience.
No fun allowed - pas de plaisir autorisé
MSC… One update goes up in BR 2s38… Gets missed on multiple occasions. Both affected my module changes tho weird…
Nah, they already sold copypasted leopard enough and now they broke the lineup coz the MSC wasn’t able to stay at 10.7 for long coz it’s clearly 11.0 vehicle… But they nerfed it to sell copypasted leopard, thats all…
and we did not even receive a better reload with the br change…
Yeah, thats the most stupid thing here… Like, they nerf reload to place it at 10.7 and now bumped it to 11.0 and don’t buff the reload… This is just classic thing. And u know, if they give to MSC its 5sec reload it will go up straigh to 11.3
It would be great if they could now add some long awaited light tanks to give us a 11.0 line up
I would like to see some more vehicles at VII rank for Feance, but hell nah, coz there is only 5 vehicles now and you need all 5 vehicles to be able to go for rank VIII… And i totally sure if they will add something to this rank the needed vehicles will be 6 and this is much more grind and no other options…ヽ( ´ー｀)ノ
Considering how it can only receive DM33 or move to 12.0 with OFL F1, and Type 90 & Type 10 prototype are 11.7 with DM33…
Safe to say 11.0 is where that round stays.
Only America can receive a Leclerc like tank at 11.3 with an OFL F1 equivalent round. /s
On one hand I am annoyed that top tier is practically mixed battle leopardthunder at this point now that practically everyone gets everyone else’s stuff with subtrees, I think it makes the game largely boring and removes some of the individuality of nations.
On the other hand they’ll really recolor the osa and strela three times before they fix an almost 3 br gap in the top tier French SPAA range then finally add some unique French vehicles they actually need before making them irrelevant. Just be consistent.
At this point a can’t disagree. And Gaijing won’t give Leclerc a OFL F2 coz they dont wanna make minor nation good… Thats why we stuck with OFL F1 for long now, imho this fine with shells coz at top tier you will shoot same weakspots at every shell on top tier, tge diferrence is not very big. The bigger issue with Leclercs is their fuked up armor… For me this is much bigger problem and we cant prove this to Gaijing
