Oh no that’s the difference over the years (2006 first seen, 2011 improved, 2016 exchanged SLAT for more composite IIRC) the 2006 is the one in game. What I think they did was figure out that it’s more simple and much faster to mount if you just hang additional Armor over the already mounted one instead of having to exchange one for another. Same of course with production cost and replaceability
For explanation:
AZUR 2006
AZUR 2011
AZUR 2013
AZUR 2016
And there probably are more variations but these are the ones I know ATM

The AZUR 2016 is that of Leclerc Eau.
Unsure. It features a different RWS. This one has additional smoke launchers mounted to it
Edit: My bad that’s a demonstrator for SCORPION (which features some upgrades from AZUR)
Looks like the FLW 200.
Very much looks like one. Let me guess 12.7 with thermals?
Yep, either 7,62mm, 12,7mm or 40mm grenade launcher. Stabilised and thermals.
40mm HE or HEDP?
Unfortunately, I don’t know what ammunition it uses.
Any 40x46mm NATO standard grenades
NERA blocks are very thick. I didn’t notice if they were as thick on the dev serv? Or maybe the blocks in the photos are different from those on the S2 AZUR ?
Different kind. It’s as I said an early demonstrator for the XLR Scorpion
ok thanks
I had no idea there were so many variations of the AZUR kit, I think most of the pictues I’ve seen were of the 2006 version. It’s unfortunate that gaijin didn’t even give us the best version of the kit possible, but given that they didn’t even base it on an SXXI, well… :/
All post 2011 are Leclerc UAE/Trop (at least I think) as they’re the main buyer so they probably adapt and showcase them together. Leclerc has a wide variation though you’re right
Honestly, if Gaijin really wanted to add the AZUR, I’d have preferred them to add it as a premium, because no premium 10.0+ is missing.
Well, rank 8 isn’t here quite yet.
However, is there AZUR on anything that could be 10.3 - 11.0?
I guess a Leclerc limited to OFL 120 G1 for 10.3/10.7 is theoretically one.
There is the Leclerc UAE with the original composite skirts along the whole side Scorpion (not XLR Scorpion) and the add-on Armor mounted over them
Gaijin should give the Leclerc a 5 second reload instead of the 6 second reload it has.

donc si j’ai bien compris on va avoir un tank Leclerc avec encore plus de bugs que les autres Leclerc ?
