Leclerc have spall liner? I’m really curious about this.
How is it possible that the Abrams UFP which is 38mm @ 80 degrees is 10 times more effective than the LeClerc UFP which is a composite armor block angled at 74 degrees? That’s only 6 degrees less but MUCH thicker.
Attached image isn’t fully accurate because the rear cube doesn’t actually encompass the entire UFP but still.

There are 2 reports coming soonTM that should address this issue, will keep you updated. That also has to do with the angle of the hull

I see. I would like to be updated.
Personally I do not play France and China is the only nation I really dabble in - but even I noticed that this seems extremely off. I hope the LeClerc gets buffed appropriately as it is a shame for it to be in its current state. (And for so very long). For such a pretty tank.

There’s still time since we’re just getting into the dev season. But I wouldn’t hold your breath, after playing France long enough you always expect the bare minimum at best.

Rant On :
when a 50T tank side armor is stronger than most 60+T tanks frontal armor
I know it’s dev server, but let’s face it, some amount of BS will still be left once it goes live.
Meanwhile the NATO bug reports all get closed by you-know-who before even being seen by the devs
NGL it seems the balancing issues and bug reporting is better handled in the air department
Rant Off.

do you know if leclercs have spall liner?
Just like every NATO tank from 90’s and go on, it should.
even the challenger 2 has some. It would be surprising that the Leclerc as the most modern western design after the type 10 did not have spall lining

I thought we had something similar going for a minimum of 700mm KE protection. We’ll have to see in some time then.
We do. This is just additional information to bulletproof the bug reports.

Like other rank VIII MBTs, Leclerc SXXI and AZUR got OFL 120 G1 stock on the dev server
Nice. 2 year to late for me, but necessary for the new guys in top tier France

Hello @Gunjob,
Could you please take a look at this? It’s additional information for the recent bug report regarding the Leclerc’s armour: Community Bug Reporting System
