The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

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

I agree, clara is also another cool addition that can be made.
Still waiting on this but Community Bug Reporting System

I don’t have a source for it right now but i may be in october, honestly still unsure… Lets hope for some user here that can help me find a source!

Not only that but also multiple variations of AZUR. The one in game right now is an S2 Demonstrator kit from 2006. There also could be an UAE Leclerc with the 2011 AZUR kit as a T4 mod.

If they’d fix the hull armor to a point where it can actually tank/bounce hits Leclerc AZUR would sit at a higher BR than XXI as it can only be penetrated on very few spots even when at an angle. There is almost no space to hit below the skirts unlike Russian tanks with ERA on the side plus they don’t disappear like ERA as it’s composite armor

I really hope the book will help. I have one with many pages but I doubt it has AZUR specifically in it. Thanks for reminding me so I’ll have a look

Maybe the AZUR kit will be available on the Leclerc SXXI or a new Leclerc SXXI AZUR will be added.

I hope …

There is no real reason to. AZUR could be mounted on every Leclerc from S2 onwards but it was just a demonstrator. France themselves don’t use AZUR but UAE do so XXI never had it publically mounted

Ok i will wait for you in case otherwise i will reopen the issue when i have more sources.
Do you think they can allow lws tho?

Literaly stated by producer


Not quite what you need but interesting non the less

But maybe this will help with you with the LWR

Thanks, i have to get on my laptop for reading that i don’t see too get on phone but if it mentions lws with galix should be enough even tho the producer of galix affirm it does have lws ( see bug report )

It has a few Galix types listed. It’s french so I have a slightly harder time translating and not being able to copy paste the text makes it even worse. If you need any more just tell me. The book btw is: Char Leclerc : De la guerre froide aux conflits de demain (2005)

I will let you know

According to the manufacturer, the Galix for combat vehicles includes Laser Warning Sensors.

and

The article states that it has already been “installed” on the Main Battle Tanks.

Once again, it was revealed that combat vehicles include Laser Warning Sensors.

Leclerc need LWS

I made other bug reports on other vehicles that i’ve been using GALIX, lets see how those goes though and lets hope they decide to add it to the Leclerc as well.

Also finded a pic about the mounting for the LWS on leclercs:

This is an S3 im pretty sure, but it can be fitted on every one of them because the mounting are pretty much the same.

The Leclerc XLR should use a different system but we don’t have that in game for now.
