Dude, we have said it so many times, please make an effort :
Mobility : superior to Abrams, of course it’s about 10-15t lighter but nothing extroardinary and lacking it’s notorious V8X-1500 Hyperbar that makes it’s IRL signature mobility. Not the most mobile MBT by the way.
Survivability : worst armor with Challenger 2 and Ariete. Also devs keeps denying it but fuel tanks detonates easily meaning instant death. Not to mention a gun mantlet that can be pen by ranks 2.
Firepower : actual worst top tier round now that Britain Challenger 3 has access to DM53.
Reload : somewhat good but not extraordinary 6s reload, makes it on par with most top tier MBT with ace crew but inferior to Abrams now with 5s ace crew.
I’ve all the Leclercs (not all spaded though), enough hours on them to tell.
Worse armur all court even the Shermans are better armored. The problem is that the armor didn’t make it for the level of the tank to have arrow shells and to have simple plates it’s not enough you need NERA
Fastest to slowest non-GE’d non-1.3million RP reload:
4 seconds: Type 10, TKX, TKX P, Type 90B, and Type 90: 4 seconds.
5.3 seconds: M1A2 SEP, Challenger 2 [all].
6 seconds: Leclerc.
6.4 seconds: Leopard 2s, Arietes.
6.5 seconds: T-80U, T-80BVM.
7.1 seconds: T-72, T-90, Type 96, Type 99, Merkava Mk4
Yeah, Leopard 2s & Arietes can get to 6 seconds if you main that tank for a long time, not as likely as getting an ace crew on an M4A2 [over 500 kills].
Woooo Leclerc main battle tanks are so scary, with their light tank armor, average reload rate, worst APFSDS shell and exploding fuel tanks !! Better buff the Abrams instead lmao
I’m getting tired of Gaijin not listening to our suggestions and just declining them when it comes to France. France could be one of the best country’s in the game if they would simply just listen to us and open their eyes, it’s starting to get annoying in my opinion.
In order for their to be a change outside the limitations we already have, there has to be a substantial suggestion to change the rules.
I sent feedback via the new special form to reconsider how they armor modern tanks that lack information, and to seek more parity based on vehicle mass.
Interesting, I refreshed my game and it showed the approximate rates changed. Thanks for pointing that out, but it still feels like a ‘gimme’ to make Abrams tankers and fans ignore the spall liner problems and the DU package.
I’d very strongly urge you all to continue doing what you do for the Leclerc. I’ll be raising this up in TikTok as well.
