The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff

Did you checked turkish trials?

Cause i know they tested Leclerc S1 or S2 alongside with M1A2 with diesel engine and Leopard2A5.

They might have some useful information from that trial.

That’s a good idea. Thanks

They do, they just dont want to do on NATO’s vehicles.

İts obvious they cant accept the fact that Russian vehicles sucks in real life against western vehicles so they compansates this by nerfing NATO vehicles in this game.

These guys make lining for the VBCI, so it’s a start. We can also give it to the British for vehicles like the Challenger 2.

I started searching through pictures as well instead of doing word searches.

I see the issue on Leclecès spall liner got “acknowledged”, so what is the deal here?

I guess I’ll posting whatever I see might be relevant. I can’t tell if I’m looking at splinter lining for the engine compartment.

Both of the bug reports about the spall liners and armour eventually got acknowledged thanks to TrickZZter and Smin. All is good.

Afaik they never released any info on those, apart from the fact the Leopard 2A6EX won them.

Unless you mean the Hellenic Trials where S2 variant was sent, it was btw cited to be comparably protected to the Challanger 2, but worse than M1A2 SEP and Leopard 2A5 (in Strv 122 version).

As far as i know Turkish Army tested regular Leopard2A5 and A6 alongside with Leclerc S2 and M1A2 with diesel engine.

You sure they tested 2A6EX?

Yes;

“In 1999 the Leopard 2A6EX became a political issue in Berlin. lt was then that the Turkish government declared interest in procuring the Leopard 2 and asked to be given a Leopard 2A6EX for comparative trials at short notice.”

“lt bad its last public appearance at the IDEF defence exhibition in Ankara, Turkey, in 2005.”

“The party disliked arms sales in general, and especially with regards to Turkey due to the Turkish Kurdish problem. In the end, permission for delivery of a Leopard 2A6EX for trial purposes was granted. Detailed information about the trials is not available, but the Leopard 2 was proclaimed the winner. However, a delivery contract was not signed.”

From Gesamtwerk.

And here’s a picture of it:

AFAIK On tests in Greece There was an M1A2 1993, which can be recognized by the EAPU on the rear of the turret and it was Leclerc UAE, not S2
