The Leclerc has Spall lining IRL.
Do you have the source that allows you to say this? I’m not questioning what you’re saying, I’m just curious! :)
This is great. Now the Leclercs have at least the top speed out of all MBTs, paired with the Leopards and Abrams and maybe someone else. It’s not enough, but definitely a starter.

Leclerc armor fixes have been DENIED by the developers. Only thing left we can pray for is spall liners.

We’re never going to have any armour buff, especially not with that Swedish graphic analysis based on the earliest, incomplete Leclerc variants.

SHARD has lower chamber pressures than DM53 tho…
I mean that has to be taken into account right? Can’t we find the exact variant they used in that trial and prove that they are not the same to at least some of the turret variants we have in-game now? That should show the dev’s that there are differences between that trial turret and of the in-game variants of the turret.
It’s built off of the technology that’s being used to develop the new European gun system.
It’s muzzle velocity is also 1,790m/s and weighs 7.3kg.
Yes, and that performance produces less chamber pressure than DM53 for some reason.
I don’t know, I don’t think I have the sources myself. What I can assure you is that the graphic that Smin showed and that they used in order to turn down the report is from the Sweden’s trials, and the Leclerc that took part in those was a rushed out, premature version and riddled with failures. It was the Tranche 1. It had, for example, an overconsumption of fuel, among other problems which were later fixed. Now as for how can we make them understand that that version (S1 I guess) and the rest are different, I don’t know.
There are many parts to consider in the effectiveness in performance. But it’s easily safe to assume it won’t perform worse then DM53.
What statistics are you even pulling from?

I mean even if Leclerc S1’s armor isn’t fixed (which I find totally understandable if they really want to stick with the Swedish trials) why tf aren’t they fixing the rest!?

I would love to see the Euro MBT for France (and Germany a patch later) so they can get some hull armour.

I just noticed that. This is completely asinine.
@Smin1080p
Explain. The Swedish trials being held over our heads to explain why we get to have one of the worst armor values is getting infuriating.
We can confirm that the armor can be penetrated by 9M133, 1,100mm CE protection that we’re asking for is within that.

This is so infuriating. I don’t understand how they continue to rely on armor values from the early Leclerc from what, 30 years ago? There’s only so much for sources we can do since its all classified and the current sources are probably the best that will come to fruition unless documentation from the UAE surfaces (unclassified). The French community has done a superb job on trying to provide information from what is available for developers to correct this based on what’s available. I respect Gaijin’s “semi-strive” for authenticity but there’s LITERALLY only so much information we can legally obtain and there needs to be a balance on values from public information.

I’m glad someone made a report, but aren’t the reloads a balancing decision and not due to realism?

İ dont.
They’re just using this lame excuse in order not to buff Leclerc series,Leopard2A7V and M1 Abrams.
This so called Swedish trials has been done 30 years ago and to think Gaijin claims neither Usa,France or Germany didnt improved armor protection on their tanks in 30 fking years.
This is disgusting,twisted and deepsiet excuse from developers who thinks only mother Russia can produce better tanks in time while in reality those T series are nothing but a trash.
İm done with them.
