The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

Oh it’s a shame, I don’t follow these closely so I didn’t know, still have a lot of respect for the work he put forth !

its just white paint

Doomed from the beginning

Just spaded one Leclerc and is far from terrible.

It’s like eating a handful of plain rice after 5 days of not eating anything and saying it’s better than nothing.

It’s more like eating a good meal and then acting like a spoiled child because another guy got an extra dip served as well with his identical meal.

Now try it after this turret basket change, which is what I’m referring to

I doubt it’d affect Leclercs as much as they never really relied on their armor and survivability to bail them out.

I think it matters because any shot you survived in the hull that allowed you to fire back now will result in you dying quickly to a 2nd followup shot while you try to reverse with a broken turret. It’s a large nerf that didn’t need to happen

Considering you only have 3 crew in a tank without spall liners means you aren’t surviving many hull penetrations in the first place. So far, my best bet at surviving those shots is to pray that my frontal fuel tank will just eat the whole round alongside any created spall, so internals don’t get damaged anyways.

It’s a nerf, but a much smaller one than what you’ll find on Leopards and M1s.

Its still a joke how gajin handles spall liner.
There is proven sources for a lot vehicles like pzh2k, boxers and so on.

But gajin never follows up on adding spall liners later

Afaik, there is some information that leclercs have some kind of spall liners. There isn’t streight line about them but I read in different sources that leclercs have some material from inside which wotks like spall liners and its meant to reduce spall, so… Thats my point, but if gaijing needs a streight sentence where they can see “spall liner” then i guess we can’t do anything to this…

Edit: Just cheked the report for leclercs amd spall liners and find out that the material may be Kevlar but it’s rather a speculation point coz there isn’t any information about this material we can be confident with…

For some yes, but that’s beside the point.

I don’t see any good source that claims this.

Hot damn. Lots of modules. This is a significant nerf.
A bit like the EBRC Jaguar. If it’s penetrated but not killed, it looses all ability to fire due to the FCS being everywhere in the turret.

That’s also surprising they put so much modules for the electric drives. Since the Leclerc gun center of gravity is at its center of rotation it should not need that much equipment to work

FCS dont block fire ability

True instead it turns off your stabilizer, Thermals and turret rotation speed.

Zero affect right?
