Again here you can just aim a little higher and it works. Ofc Leclerc can not compete with some of the latest Leopard 2 variants.
What is the argument here?
You are somewhat wrong regarding ‘‘the T series’’ as well as ZTZ-99.
Even on T-90M the driver port area till abovem the gun is a weak spot. The older tanks have some areas left and right of it than can also be penetrated with teh OFL 120F1 which is not quite up to the task anymore anyway.
With Abrams anything between upper front plate and turret is a shot trap.
That leaves Leopard 2A7, as well as the STRv 122s which are indeed problematic regarding anything than the lwoer plate or breach frontally.
Leclerc could d owith a better round if available as well with soem improved armour and relaod where realistic true but it is not even below average overall.
The biggest issue currently is low post pen damage no matter which tank you are in if you have to snipe for certain weakspots and only end up being shot afterwards or the enemy repairing quickly while being covered by others that is pure pain. This makes certain weak points of Leclerc as we have it in game currently more noticeable.
No. The only things that have got problems with it are the weakest projectiles at top tier. Anything 600mm+ has absolutely no problems with the upper plate (BM-60 fx can defeat it at even ground at ranges up to ~400 meters).
All Minor nation MBT need a buff other than Japan and Sweden probably.
As someone who’s played a good amount with the Merkava tanks, they’re infuriatingly heavy for how little protection they offer. The Armor, which Gaijin says is better against chemical, can’t stop HEAT rounds in most places, and even the 4M has trouble stopping missiles fired from the Khrizantema. You also have an aced 6.5 second reload, which leaves you with a free to play reload of about 7 seconds if you expert the tank. Essentially, you can barely out reload the T-72, which doesn’t rely on a loader to do its job.
The Armor is so bad that DM33 and 3BM42 both over-penetrate you regularly.
I cant wait for gaijin to find some random Russian guy on telegram saying “the leclerc actually has cardboard instead of composite” and then claim its a primary source and infallible evidence that the leclerc should be nerfed again
Hard to believe but yes 2A7V in the game have weaker armor than 2A5/A6 what holding them right now is composite screen on UFP it was only thing that make them little bit stronger in term of armor
Honestly at this point I don’t even consider Sweden a minor nation, just a major-nation-lite (gets the same treatment as a major nation when it comes to new vehicles and their abilities, but has minor nation problems when it comes to everything before late mid tiers)
Sweden can’t be considered a minor nation but it’s not like it gets even close to being one of the major. Literally the only thing going for Sweden are domestic Leopards while rest of the tt is far behind big “3”.
Well yes… it is. You’re probably confusing the upper plate with the glacis/beak. Upper plate can be easily penetrated on the 2A7V as long as you’ve got around ~580mm of penetration (or more), the beak is only penetrable to stuff like DM53 from very close ranges (both shouldn’t be).
I swear to god every time people say this it drives me insane.
Sweden has leopards
Germany has leopards
Sweden has L/44 leos with slightly better armour
Germany has L/55 leos with slighly worse armour
Just because the STRV-122B+ is better in meta right now does mot make sweden better germany
