The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

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 😂😂

I mean it is like a coin flip, the actual RGN in the game

What kind of cope world do you live in to put these vehicles together in the same category. Especially the t90

In the current gameplay with smaller maps, the Russian tanks almost always have the advantage of the first shot on most lther MBTs that I consider over tiered because their armor means that the enemy will have to specifically aim at weak spots while the Russian tank can just point and click the enemy.
They do lack a decent reverse speed and reload, but they are definitely very strong in 1v1. Played by average/decent players and with full team winning their 1V1 a majority of the time they can often stomp the enemy team, just like the 2A7 and similar Leo 2 derivates

1vs1

Yeah you are talking from a fantasy standpoint. And even then the 2a7 is better.

If you don’t hit the first shot in any t series tank you are dead. You can’t outreload nothing and you also have a subpar shell

I didn’t say that they were better than the 2A7. I do think however that they are objectively better than many other tanks at 12.7

Wait what? xD
Abrams are better than T90M and tied with the 80BVM.
I’d also go as far to say as the T90 Is worse than the likes of the VT4A1 and the WZ1001 as they are substantially more mobile and fire a similar round with reload the same.

I’d rather use my leclerc over the T90M as well.
The biggest issue I’ve noticed when playing the 90M is people will sit and shoot the UFP the one thing it has going for it.
Never aim for the breach, turret ring, LFP or anything like that

Not to be negative, but I really hate the term “cope cage”, especially when they do in fact work.

Eh… these are easily bypassable, so the Cope Cage name is pretty apt, for actual effective anti-drone protection you pretty much need to turn the tank into a hedgehog, at which point it’s something else.

Like on the pictured Leclerc the only thing that would protect is from drone dropped grenades, and even then not really.

Its just light cage amor. There are different levels of armor for different applications, its just mass media and anti Russian propaganda. Litterly every country now with a tank has dabbled in the light cage armor class.

Wait until you see this

Accepted a report for a 6 second reload on the leclerc.

Wild af if that goes through

This isn’t going to go through. The OG report that got us to 5s clearly outlined that the 6s reload was the operational reload, while the 5s (and even 4s) can be achieved mechanically. Also, that report had like 15 sources, many being primary.
