Lower glacis or lower front hull is a weakspot for all tanks just like upper glacis or upper front hull.
Sure Soviet tanks and the later Leopard 2 versions we have in game have a somewhat small lower plate but here Leclerc is.not different to the other MBTs.
The upper plate also is somewhat of a weakspot for all tanks in game. More for some less for others.
All depends on gun, ammunition and angle.
Here the Leclerc is again not the best.
The breach simply is a little huge.
Between upper and lower glacis Leclerc is decently armoured.
Again that green coloured hue above the armour does not necessarily say all that much beside that other tanks which have orange or red coloured parts have more armour at the same spot.
That’s because the only players that have enough brain cells to play them are better players. You probably won’t find any noob driving in a ariete because he would have already quit the game due to how painful it is. On the contrary: the t80bvm is easy to play so dumb w key players can play it. In an ariete, one mistake is death, in a t80bvm one mistake is a round stopped by armor, ERA or bounced.
Proceed to say the total opposite of all you said before…
I am a french main, I was only top tier for France until a week, I do now have the T-80UK (squadron). I bounced more shot in a week with tha T-80 than in a fc*k year with the Leclerc. I do not say the T-80 should be nerfed because according to me it is logical that a tank is somehow survivable and even more from the front. However the problem in this game is that many tanks (Ariete, Leclerc, Challengers, Merkavas) have a shitty survavibility. Moreover, I feel like a 60t tanks might be a bit more protected than a 48t one.
Really there are no point playing Leclerc no spall liner no LWS no armor fix no reloads buff no better shell no nothing Well maybe F the Leclerc give this to france instead
The question is should Leclerc bounce more than T-80?
I also do not see where I said something opposing what I said previously especially since I mentioned post pen surviveability as well.
I don’t say it should but the question is should Leclerc bounce more than a T-80? See the question got no fu*king sense, nobody here no how armored those tank really are.
Nah, just add the XLR version which is fully 22 rounds on the Autoloader, no reserves ammo and fix the god damn armor for them is good enough.
Spoiler
I like the designation of Leclerc, share the same concept with the K2 (compact, well-rounded protection, plenty headroom for upgrading and freaking high price) from SK but Gaijin kinda ruin the France since it mid-tier.
Prototype Leclerc was designed to eat 125mm shells in 90´s, but Gaijin thinks that modern SXXI version should be raped but 20mm autocannons in LFP/UFP/mantlet…
If I remember correct from what a friend told me, is that Gaijin modelled both the Abrams and Leclerc armour based off of info from the Swedes from when they were migrating from the Centurions to a new MBT.
But the thing is that the Leclerc were tested was the first ever production Leclerc, the S1 T1, which was refused by the French government due to the armor and engine issues. That is know, even gaijing knows that, but they don’t care
And, to be fair, even things like the Leclerc are thought to be able to use optical tracking with their highly advanced fire control systems. But hey, artificial nerfs from gaijing as well
Let me guess, it’s because western systems are usually considered more advanced ? Now that they have set a precedent with only adding spall liners when the T90M arrived, I can only think of that
