i would understand if it was for balance, goddamn the fact that they needed 25+ sources to get to buff the leclerc reload like if the abrams didnt just had a reload buff or like if it was impossible

One of the best indeed, but Leclercs ingame are really far from what they should be and armor is not the only problem saddly.
Firepower too, when everybody got new shells few years ago, we still have the same best shell that we got on the release of the first Leclerc ingame long time ago.
And mobility is nerfed too, Leclercs use a hyperbar engine (the engine is coupled with an helicopter turbine who act like a turbo), unlike every other “basic” diesel engine in other MBTs, when the driver press the accelerator, the full power of the engine is almost instant, not “building” in time like every other MBT like it’s saddly the case ingame now…
Would give the Leclercs the big upperhand in mobility, specially from stop if Gaijin model and put the Hyperbar ingame.
To give you some idea on how look the Leclercs mobility IRL:
and:
(close the sound, music is horrible haha
But at 0:25 and specially 0:48 give you a good idea how broken it is in WT vs IRL)

The moment they decided to add the the AIM-9M, the bug report on the Magic 2 having IRCCM, wich was already a quite in depth report mind you, went from “But actually can you demonstrate how the seeker is better ?” to “Getting added next update.” nearly instantly.
Holding things for balance is nothing special for Gaijin, they’ve always tweaked things left and right, but the big downside is that it can turn very nonsensical. Like the AMX-10RC still holding onto it’s reload nerf because the turret is allegedly cramped.

yeah but gaijin decision making its questionable
Now just imagine the France TT without you, Wareta and others beating the devs into submission with your research :D

Same with the Foch.
2 loader, big place for them, one part ammo, but it get the reload time of tanks that have 2 part ammo, sometimes only one loader, and less place xD
And recently vextra too, should reload quicker than that, but we getting off topic x)

The list is even longer. You can add the AMX 40 into the mix

And both ARLs that should have an assisted reloading system and shoot every 5/6s, but not the case ingame.
Buuut gaijin used the presence of those system to nerf the gun depression…

Should the mantlet of the Leclerc be armored too IRL ? A 30mm autocannon or a SPAA can disable a Leclerc without issue.
New video of the Leclerc XLR (in French, you can enable automatic translation in settings)

I guess when the driver of the tank say that it has a fast reverse speed of 50+, it is a special mode and so will not be put into the game if this leclerc is added ?
And i’m not that hopeful on this little armor they added even with how small it is gaijin will somehow just ignore it.
Otherwise seems like that they are using shard on them now so it should be something at least on this side.
Yes, the mystery of the Leclerc’s actual top speed deepens.
The armour still hasn’t changed from the SXXI. The XLR is still a WIP and expected to weigh 63-65 tonnes. The only thing that has changed so far is some of the electronics and improved mine protection. It’s known that the optics are slated to be changed (which hasn’t occurred yet), so the armour could still change as well.

I agree. Let’s play it safely and request Gaijin changes the Leclerc’s top speed from 72 kph to Mach 3.
What are the projected optics for this variant ? Perhaps Paseo ?

Gunner sight is having the thermal imager interchanged with 4th generation SATIS. Commander sight will be PASEO - perhaps the newest version which is why it’s taking so long?

Mach 5 or no deal.

yea but lets be honest if we give realistic reloads to autoloaders
t80 would have a 7.1s reload
t90m: 7.5 sec
t72: 7.5 sec
leclerc: 5 sec
type 10: 3.5 sec
cv90 105/ 120 : 7.5 sec to 10 sec depending on elevation
Type 99A: 6 sec
M1128 Stryker: 6 sec
AMX 13 and the SK 105 : 5 sec
and also realistically a manual loader can load rounds as fast or even faster until he becomes tired
imagine how mad people would be if that was in game
but also that would be an L for russian tanks which is funny
CV90120 does have the better autoloader of 5 second CV90105 dosent,T80’s reload are correct without including gun handling, and type 10 has a 3.4 sec to 2.2 sec depending on the power input to the autoloader, idk about ZTZ99 or the T90M but im sure the ZTZ 99 its correct as it stands correct me if im wrong
yea some tanks have emergency modes that lets them override the autoloader and give them a faster reload with a trade of damaging the breach and the autoloader itself ( Leclerc has that )
also the fire rate of the t80/72 and ztz depends on the position of the rounds they want to fire in the carousel
also form what i know the gunner for the T series has to press a button every time he wants the gun to be loaded making the loading process longer
ZTZ also has a more modern and faster autoloader that is better than the T 80 and t 72
reallistic autoloading its a hell of a balance

Tbh i hope gaijin keeps the CV-105 reload the same just so it stays 10.0, as a 7.5 second reload would 100% come with a (likely undeserved) downtier. Its just unfortunate that gaijin decided to model it wrong off the bat instead of adding it with the worse reload to begin with.
