What Leclerc need is a nerf in their fuel storage that eat bullets non stop at the lowerplate. The amount of times i shoot them in the lower plane and the fuel eats the bullet, its insane. No other tank does this, other day was literal 2 games in a row.

you are kidding right?
Leclercs are renowned in game for their fuel tanks detonating constantly.
Unlike say CR2 or Abrams which can actually soak stuff into the fuel tanks.
No, they’re relatively balanced as it is right now if a bit lacking in survivability.

Last minute bug report that said Leclercs shouldn’t have Auto-Track

I know this is not the best topic to ask here, but is there anything that comes after Tiger block 2 that have similar capabilities like Mi28, Z10ME, or AH64E? I’m getting really tired with copy paste vehicles don’t really want to research the AH64E in the TT rn, especially it’s a down grade from the US ones.
Its funny how they modeled the magic shield component but didn’t give to it.
For DIRCM bullshit ? No.
For 20km missile with akeron lp yeah (not 16 missiles like the others nations still).
Next block of tiger is still planned even if it got reduced in terms of capabilities and akeron lp was tested from one of those heli.
dont forget that they might nerf its autoloader

theres a bug report, its up to the devs to decide

Ngl, this one from 2 years ago (that got the reload reduced from 6 seconds to 5) looks a lot more reliable. In the end its the snails decision upon checking all the sources. But alone the fact that the source for increasing the reload again is…not a source but…whatever its supposed to be? the model of the gun? the manufacturer of the gun? should they go to the supermarket and ask for a “GIAT Industries NATO 120 mm Gun Weapon System” to test fire it and later return and refund??? should they call GIAT and ask for the actual reload time or what? Its kinda funny that this got accepted based on these “sources”?
doesnt make me think they go with this bug report after lowering the reload 2 years ago based on bug reports with 15 sources that can actually be found so…
hows the penetration and explosive filler tho, or is it just a faster spike?
1000mm for the pen like akeron mp it would be ~, for the other parameters i don’t know.
They are pretty similar, just 100mm more of pen and like 100g more of tnte

I’ve actually had the opposite experience both playing and facing it. Since it is dependent on crew skills it varies, and most people don’t have their vitality stats upgraded.
Still should be 12.0.
I’ve got mine upgraded and can tank most hits, bar directly into that front fuel tank D:
The main annoying thing to me about the fuel tank explosions is that the Leclerc front hull fuel tank has more armor between the fuel and the crew compartment than the t90a and yet as it’s not exactly called a « bulkhead » it’s considered internal while the t90a ones are external.

The t90a’s fuel tanks still detonates, so the nomenclature would be Irrelevant, also you dont really want to get a proper “bulkhead”, unless you want spall

They do tend to absorb more shots than anything else.
Aren’t they considered external and thus create fires that extinguish themselves rather than exploding ?
The leclecs fueltanks also stops the spall.

Aye stops it cause the fuel detonates 😂😂
