The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

Since SHARD is one of the more requested things to be added on the Leclercs, here’s what it’ll likely look like ingame (courtesy of a friend smarter than me)

Personally don’t think it’s enough on it’s own, but hey, having effectively L/55 DM 53 will help a bit

How did you get these values ?
I haven’t seen any information on the shell to calculate its LO perforation. Going from the 15% improvement and comparing it to the in game OFL 120 F1, I would get a baseline at 0m 0º of 660mm

It’s extrapolated from the working length of the penetrator, which is 680mm + a diameter of 24mm and plugging that alongside other relevant info we know into the same formula Gaijin uses on their rounds.

While we can’t know for certain that Gaijin will make it anything close to this (M829A3’s current stats are literally fake so) it’s at least interesting to try and predict it

I guess it’s a way to calculate it. Tho I would argue the margin of error is probably quite significant. When I did the same pixel measurement for the OLFT (CTA 40 APFSDS) I had about 10-20% variance (I had the shell casing diameter, measured the penetrator diameter, and got the length from the penetrator/diameter ratio which is known for this shell)
Which value did you base the other calculations on ?

Since I was told it would not pass for the OFLT (and I kinda get why, although all my measurement gave me a better round than in game at a minimum), I guess they would probably imagine something for the shard instead of these measurements
