Poor French TT.
I heard UK also suffers but they received CR3 TD that hasn’t entered service. That’s interesting.
Thats not correct. The same source (British) that specifies the 420 level of protection for Leclerc also states that Leopard 2 initial model was rated at 350mm KE while the C tech upgrade was 435mm.

What is the source of this? Though I can see all kinds of wrong with it.
On the other hand, its statistically likely that Leclerc S2 reaches 550mm KE on the turret and SXXI 700mm.
wee wee Russian text alert wee wee
source not acceptable - but Russian vehicles can’t get buffs from NATO sources tho, that is absolutely fair

Who said it wasn´t “acceptable”? Just that people don´t properly cite them. Everyone should cite because thats how you can tell apart a legitimate source from fake fabricated stuff. Over the years we got a plenty of BS trying to pass for legitimate sources.
The developers themselves said that.
When Russian sources on the armor of several tanks like the M1 and Leclerc was used to report buffs for those vehicles, devs suddenly decided that no, those sources would not be accepted. Even when properly cited, coming from the ministry of defense and all that

I know they do but why do you make it a response to my comment when I merely asked to know what was that snippet?
And I do not rule out Russian source in principle. Just know that they don´t have first hand access to western tanks armor values, neither as data from manufacturers or governments or by doing actual testing. So, said hypothetical sources (which I haven´t seen BTW) are assesements and estimations at best. However if tomorrow they release actual data from testing done on captured tanks, that should be 100 percent valid.
I wonder if those images were already used in previous bug reports to buff the armor
