The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

Surely you know top tier MBTs very well having played less than 10 games on this account? The account you made on November 7th this year? Did you think setting your profile to private on the forums would hide that?

No reason to. A forum account only requires an email and completion of the tutorial. If this forum wasn’t such a dumpster fire of poor moderation I would use a different account.

Unnecessary interventions my boy… Are you from the FBI? Especially as it’s no secret that French vehicles (or the tree itself) are quite unbalanced (not all, but a good proportion).

Anyway…

Nerf the reloading for reasons of “balancing” and useful when the said vehicle to other specifications equal or superior to those of its competitors the problem and that the Leclerc (and not LeClerc) is certainly not totally bad but all the same much less competitive. So when Gaijin (and his supporters) say that reloading is nerfed for “balancing” reasons, it’s simply bad faith and a great lack of repartee.

With 5s of reloading it won’t be “OP” compared to those competitors, it’ll just be in better shape than it is now.

My friend, I am in favour of buffing the Leclerc… You can see on the community site that I often bug report fixes for French vehicles…

But entertaining the idea of reload as a “balance” metric is exactly the pitfall that Gaijin has placed as a massive time waster. It’s a double standard, especially when the “balance” is done via a poor understanding of average player performance.

Is there any way to get the accurate dimension of the model in game?

Yeah, the mobility does really gimped when you consider it was meant to turn and accelerate faster than its Western counterparts…

I would like to see the gun movement while loading be done, superficially, looks cool imo.

The MBT 70 for example is another that looks like it would do that, based on how the autoloader is modeled in game

İ always found quite weird that why GIAT engineers limited horizontal rotation with 30 degree while vertical rotation is 36.

İt make sense that its actually the opposite.

David acknowledged!? It must be Christmas!?

Thank you Wareta, very nice and useful bug reports. If I see the turret rotation increased to 40º I think I’m going to cry of hapiness. It took me painfully long enough to reach 30º in the sXXI just to be able to have a decent speed. The 40 degrees would be fantastic.

Didnt the leak stuff confirm that turret rotation speed is correct in game?

As it has always been the case whith France, Gaijin will improve Leclerc once it becomes unplayable.

That’s what some people keep saying, I personally didn’t get to see it. In any case they aren’t going to put to use classified sources, as far as I’m aware.
Some sources say the speed is 30º while others state that it’s 40º so I don’t know what to believe. But I’ve seen videos where a Leclerc seems to be clearly rotating the turret at more than 30º.

hoping they make more screen like instead of a sphere of smoke

i think it’s the same case of type 10, where the gunner only have 30º while the motor itself can do 40º.

the thing is leopard 2 have the same 30º for the gunner and 40º for the motor, yet gaijin put the horizontal traverse as 40º.

Also since we’re on the subject of French dart rounds.

Are there any alternatives to OFL-105 F1 and OFL-120 G1? currently the 9.3 and 9.7 French MBTs pen less (around 30-40mm) than any of their competitors, despite having the classic longer French guns and having to face tnaks with composite armor

there are plenty of alternatives to the 105 f1, the g1, the g2 or the f2 rounds should be better than the f1, and for the 120g1 there isnt really anything else, dont know if it is compatible with standard nato rounds, still the g1 is pretty similar to other things that you found around that br.
