Why has the Leclerc stock HEAT?

Pretty much every nation in game has a stock APFSDS IRL. Gaijin being unrealistic example #38593

every rank 8 nation has stock apfsds that is right, he is complaining about rank 7 vehicles

France is the only nation with an 11.7 vehicle at Rank VII. AMX-40 and Vextra should be moved to VII and the S1/S2 to Rank VIII

this would not help at all, you are effectively increasing the grind for all french players

A potential French premium would have to be between 10.0-11.3 because Gaijin doesn’t sell max BR premiums, and Rank VII starts at 10.0 for France. The Roland is an exception, it used to be 10.0. The premium wouldn’t have a lineup outside of CAS.

this as well, main reason the benelux addition is a thing with leo 2a4 to make a 10.3 line up with possible premiums etc as well

Ah nice, didn’t know that. I understand that some players don’t use premiums but let’s be honnest, they are an extreme minority.

Also they could add a squadron vehicle for non prem

It’s France we’re talking about, most of the vehicles don’t have a lineup … the tree is so fcked up it really doesn’t matter if it’s the only 11.3 in the tree

thats another matter and i agree its a joke how nations like russia are sitting their with a line up possible only with squadrons, but still squadrons dont fix grind issues they dont get multipliers and in the end would only hurt the french tree without a proper line up

Yes but again, that’s a lazy solution. Just add french vehicles, there are thousands and stop adding german and american shit in all the trees

again thats the issue there is no french vehicle that would fit into the gap, there is no mbt with the needed classification, as a result france is getting the leo 2a4 which fullfills the needed aspects. It will do a great job at filling the void no matter how much the french will hate it.
There is a reason they are doing this its not without reason

I’m not always convinced coming from Gaijin, but anyway.

There are many vehicles that could be added, as well as some intersting prototypes. Some threads on this forum are all dedicated to this.

Also, why not downgrade the first two variants of the Leclerc to 11.3 and just remove the top tier APFSDS ?

They’re too similar to the SXXI to warrant that. All that SXXI gains is a CITV and a little bit extra turret armor in one spot, but if anything the S1 is the best Leclerc variant because it’s the fastest with the same firepower as all the other variants.

not realy, there is the rumoured leclerc prototype but not much is known about it, france has laws against release of military information that makes french stuff so ahrd in the first place

425mm, as much penetration as some 10.3-10.7 tanks, problem is at that br with reload and mobility it would still got up. At 11.3 it would be wayyyy to bad, at lower br it would be to strong thats the whole issue

But then why some challengers variants have different BR ? Is there a very important change or is it just access to a better round that diferentiates them ?

armor, engine, penetration the challengers have a lot of different varietes that differentiate them, this is not the case for leclercs

The challengers are way older then the lelcercs remember that

I find it incredible that Gaijin always finds a way to put more russian vehicles and I guess that Russia has that kind of law too. Also the Leclerc in game is completely inaccurate.
Regarding the prototype, there’s one with a 140 mm gun that could be 11.3 if the reload is bad enough.

Ok, never played them so i don’t know the specs of all the variants

actualy they dont have that realy, russian propagandism and their big export makes it so a lot of stuff is known

Seems legit enough … annoying though but legit
