what is it?
Essentially a turbine meant specifically to supercharge the Leclerc for absolutely wild acceleration
Does this increase engine power or something? I haven’t seen any reports about this.
Moving to external tanks would be a nerf, not an buff.
Wdym? Extrnal tanks provide the same protection but cannot burn down your vehicle.

If they’re external, it means there’s a steel plate between them and the fighting compartment. The steel plate will create spall.
For the Leclerc, an internal tank is more advantageous, as the explosion won’t destroy an experienced crew, and spall absorption guarantees survival, as you don’t have ammunition in the fighting compartment, unlike the T-80 and T-72, where even without spall, the tank can be destroyed.
All in all it’s just a feeding technology, it’s taken into account in the tank’s power figure in game, considering WT doesn’t model power curves or torque anyway, it’s fairly irrelevant to the game.

Depends on how dev implement it, T90M frontal fuel tank is external wrapped by spall liner which doesn’t spall, Abrams has plate behind it which spalls
The Leclerc doesn’t have a spall liner; it could only have something like the Abrams. I think it’s worse than it is now.
Then why did the person above state that this function is missing and should incredibly strengthen the tank?
Moreso I think they’re complaining about it being part of the engine model, making it’s hitbox bigger, while technically the engine could run without it, although I doubt it.
Personally I think it makes sense, since again WT’s powerpack are very simplistic, and no way Gaijin would spend time modelling a variable power curve for only 2 tanks.
More bothered by the exhaust pipe being part of the engine.

Perfect, now we can request that the Leclerc be renamed Pignata.
In short, nothing good, only bad: no modifications to the UFP, nor to the level of titanium armor on the S3, nor to the engine, etc…
And it’s not for lack of having submitted written reports.

Not everything is a deep seated complaint about in game performance, I know it’s useless to the hitbox since it’s been here for as long as the Leclerc, it’s just unsightly, is all.
Same as the exhaust fumes clipping trough the upward bend, I know it’s nothing, but it still bothers me.
Well, frankly, I think nitpicking such trivial details is silly.
These are visual quirks, not things that affect the gameplay.
The way they’re currently modeled is pretty beneficial to the Leclerc’s survivability.

I’ve seen enough. T-80BVM is meaningless in comparison to such extreme survivability. Put Leclerc at 13.7.

So… They added new modules to Leclercs but they still ignore all the information about spall liners and wrong armor as whole… Classic gaijing…
Hopefully, some of these “new modules” gonna eat some spall and Leclercs will become a bit more survivable… Otherwise, it’s a HUGE nerf for them and NOW we really need to do something with missing spall liners and wrong armor (atleast make gaijing to add spall liners)
That turret basket and enormous modeled FCS were exactly the kind of buff Leclercs needed ngl

There are currently no open reports on the spall liner or armor (except for the side armor).
What are you talking about?

We have this, it’s accepted but not implemented due to lack of info, but it’s the best we have I guess.
