The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

The Ares version of the Leclerc prototype would have been a perfect complement to the 10.3 premium, as would another prototype version for the 10.3 tree. But still nothing. Our flak for the 2nd GM or Cold War period still doesn’t exist. Despite the VBCI, still no IFV. And our two poor battleships are no match for the multitude of battleships/battlecruisers facing us. In short, nothing.

As someone said on the French-speaking community channel, we’ll have to wait for the official release, then maybe we’ll get a surprise…

I present to you the Leclerc XLR, basically a Modernized Leclerc with additional armor similar to the AZUR kit… this tank feature notable addition such as the capacity to fire programable ammunition…
One more time Gaijin show us their suprising skill to add inadequate things to the french tech tree 👏👏

I didn’t even notice that it was an S2 and thus had no CITV 🤦‍♂️How does it keeps getting worse?

The more I think about it, the more I realize the AZUR kit wasn’t the next upgrade we needed for Leclerc

Personally, I would have settled for a 5s refill and the F2 + AZUR kit. It would have been magnificent. Now it’s just a cut-and-paste with a half-helpful plate extension.

isnt the xlr add on composite not era or am i thinking of the tropicalized leclerc

That was obvious from the get go, the AZUR kit is designed to counter RPGs in an urban environment, which is a type of combat that just isn’t portrayed in War Thunder. It should’ve been added as an add on package like the TUSK for the M1 SEP, and even then it would’ve been quite pointless.
Requiring a full 410k RP + the RP for the mods is insane.

The main problem is that it is a S2 AZUR!.. WHY not just a SXXI AZUR, I mean I can’t understand this

Yep, my bad, still this would have made more sense than a S2 AZUR

And no OFL 120F2 then round it should have from S2 onward
How hard it can be for Gaijin to make other nation can keep up with main one i wonder?

The funny thing is that the Chinese MBT2000 in 10.0 has an arrow that pierces as much as the Leclerc F1 in 11.7.

It’s okay, I’m sure the additional 1.1s reload is enough of a difference to justify the 1.7 BR spread /s

This is so exhausting.

Right now the MG doesn’t work, the armor is also a mess as well since it doesn’t work at all if you look at it. It needs some fixes for sure.

The roof MG not functionning is definitely going to be fixed. I don’t really have any hope for the rest though.

Is this IRST optical or laser based?

No idea, not even sure what the datamine about auto tracker (Leclerc) meant
