Why has the Leclerc stock HEAT?

Ugh. Everyone shout hurray for all tech trees becoming exactly the same in the future… hurrayyyyyyyyy…

France doesn’t need Leopards, the Leclerc is fine and is my personal favorite top tier MBT, even if it technically isn’t as good as some others.

for the same reasons why birds fly. why the sun shines. and why incompetent developers need to use every bit of hatred they can muster against them.

the grind.

why would you be allowed a good shell to begin with? that doesnt make sense.

a few years ago, Gaijin deviced a plan to make the grind even more gruesome to go through. changing every vehicle, so they start with the worst shell possible.

it started with the shermans. did you know, there was a time, where shermans started with the APHE shell?! its nuts! the solid shot was an optional shell to unlock. and no one used it, because Gaijin made APHE unrealistic in this game. its way more powerful than it is in reality. but instead of making aphe realistic, they made solid shot worse, by introducing mechanics like shell break, and lowering fragmentation.

so they changed shermans to use the way worse solid shot. just to make you grind more.

of course, no other battlerating was left behind. at top tier, where just about every vehicle has special anti heat armor, is given heat rounds. because a developer thought that was a good idea. make the grind longer. they will play our game anyway because there is nothing else like it.

due to having a monopoly on the market, the developer is able to make the grind more agonizing. there is no one to resist them any way.

Its worse at EVERYTHING. The Ariete is about the same but has better pen so still a bit better. All the others are plain better

jesus thats cope, the ariete still is all around worse then a leclerc mobility and reload wise as well.

Challengers have no armor and bad penetration as well and are slow as a duck

Merkavas arent far off either, i myself dont know about them specialy

i am gonna make this short, lets ask one of the biggest french members in the forum

@Hyrikul so… leclerc is apparently the worst mbt worse then arietes, challys and merkavas not even mentioning chinese ones

Challengers may have bad armour but still better than the Leclerc and they have better pen. Ok they are slow.

Merkavas are very well protected against missiles and chemical rounds but are slow as hell

There’s an entire topic on this subject lol, go check it out

“The Leclerc is in dire need of a buff”

leclercs have the better pen lol, the hell you even talking about, only one with better pen is the chally 3 prototype

ah yes, who voluntarily uses chemical rounds again and missle protection wont realy save you either in the end

the chally topic to fix it is at 9719 messages buddy , you arent beating the chally complains with anything, basicaly every nation has such a thread

What ? It’s literally the worst top tier round


check your sources

OFL 120 F1 has the lowest projectile mass and 2nd lowest pen of any top tier round

so we have established challys and arietes are worse already lol

seriously you are coping, leclercs aint that bad

Well I checked, Challenger has access to more than 600 pen

The first two are rank 7 while the other two are rank 8, rank 7 vehicles generally does not have stock apfsds

How am I coping? I think the Leclerc is good, and it’s my favorite top tier MBT. I am stating the fact that it has the worst top tier round but this is made up for by the reload and mobility.

buddy the last chally 3 prototype has a lot of other issues, its not representive of most challys

it isnt already have proven that

Lol that’s coping. Anyways, the problem is not knowing wether the Challenger is a tiny bit better or worse than the Leclerc, they are both bad and can share the title of the worst MBT.

The problem is that France just doesn’t have anything else and two of these variants have stock HEATFS

the new chally received a leopard gun, its like saying oh french it getting leopard so the performance of the leclercs doesnt matter anymore they have leopards now
thats what you are basicaly saying

no thats the ariete, leclerc is pretty middle of the pack because its great mobility and reload

already explained why as well, to reduce the overall grind for new vehicles in the french tree

Explained this also, give it a rank VII premium like all other nations instead of having a terrible verison of an already bad tank

china and france are receiving theirs next patch, they released one after another its that easy, germany only got theirs last patch as well

Besides that this choice makes it better for non premiums as well who need to grind less as a result
