Only to the point the other Leclercs are. I don’t have sources on the hull composite only to get AZUR changed to 175mm composite/NERA skirts

Hi,
Got a reply on this issue,
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/2cQLnqc95weq
Someone does have a more valid source or can help me find one?
There would be a book about leclercs, maybe that could help. Someone have this book: ISBN (8364596357).

I’ll have a look what I can find. For the moment you can forward them the links from my suggestion on the old forum. Maybe they’ll accept some of it. Also the mixed ERA/NERA is a concept of XXIs armor not AZUR. AZUR is purely composite skirts

question is that he received this ammunition with delayed explosion?
Le char Leclerc : le fleuron de la cavalerie française. | defense-zone.com.
Personally, I like the phrase “An undercarriage protected by blocks of reactive armor”.
So even if we don’t know exactly what this “reactive” block is made of, given the thickness of the block, maybe we can get an idea?

There you go
Already from one of the articles:
“With a kit AZUR set on the tank in less than half a day without requiring the return to workshop
The protection has been increased following the lessons of Iraq war
The protections passive side, and rear are intended to counter the IED and ALI
The front and side protections of the Leclerc are increased. The rear group, which includes the motor propellant receives protection style railling, which are an excellent protection against RPG This style of protection also extends to the neck of turret and the louvers motor ventilation are protected against Molotov cocktails, as well as air conditioning, which gets treatment
The frontal protection is not affected because the Leclerc is fairly protected in the area.”

Thanks, i updated the issue
Updated, unluckily no luck at all tho, i don’t think thats gonna get changed anytime soon… Lately i will try to buy this book ISBN (8364596357) and see if i can find something here
Probably for the best. Yet I think they should accept it as source since these were for my suggestion which had enough information to be passed to Devs
Don’t know what to say, hope someone here have another source otherwise in 48 hours the report will be closed
I’ve been seeing some stuff about a French discord server, maybe they have some sources there
Ok, keep me updated if you can
I think DirectSupport or MiG-23M are in it, but I know little about it.
From what I heard, they have alot of sources there
Ok, lets see if someone here have some other souces. There is the book i linked but even if i buy it i would get it in 2-3 weeks and i guess they would want another source so.
Lets wait for others to see if they have something

French wikipedia has some sources, one reffering to a TnT (tanks and trucks) piece where apperantly its described as “very low density composite material…these passive light caissons were derived from stuff made for the Australian Waler armored vehicle project” (Paraphrasing and not quoting since its in French)
Id see if you can find the release somewhere or see if French wiki has other sources of note

What the point of new tanks with just AZUR when something like that can be part as modifications
Given there are at least 2 other armor packages for the Leclerc it is not a bad approach. There is Azur which is being added, CLARA which has additional blocks on the side of the turret, and Nexter Era from Leclerc Scorpion program which have wider and fewer blocks than Azur.
Speaking of ERA blocks. Im suprised noone has commented on the fact the very large modules currently modeled as ERA are grouped into pairs of 2 and 3 even tho they are very clearly seperate modules. I understand grouping ERA modules when there are tons of them, but here is a couple very large ones
