It's a pretty shy tank.

More seriously, thanks to frenchfag we have pretty accurate infos on it.

>>27946329
its a modern western tank from a nation with lots of experience building said vehicles

They look as good as their tank commanders.

>>27946329
I'm quoting Frenchfag here :
>it's a good tank. not the best, but it gets the job done.

>>27946330

Le Clerc is a good tank

.....your point ?

These are belgian, by the way.

>>27946677
>Le Clerc
>this triggers the French/Francophone
yeah, its a very competitive design, if only a bit expensive.

>>27946714
>if only a bit expensive.

It's sadly a very recurring feature in french designs, due to small-scale production and emphasis on the "made in France"

>>27946704
no SHIT

>>27946329
The Clerk?

>>27946720
that makes sense economically and industrially

>>27946714
>>27946720

The unit cost of the tropicalized Leclerc is not that expensive, circa €7 million, a bit more expensive than the Leclerc S2 (€6,5 million).

Let's take a ride :

>>27946635

>>27946853
The colors are good, but the pattern and contrast between them is too sharp.

>Realized Patton used French tanks in WWI

France, I never should have doubted you in all these years. You do not deserve the negative stereotypes you have.

>>27946330
>le ebin french may may :^)

>>27948447
When we licensed them there were delays in production because the engineers didn't understand metric

>>27948447
they had better planes too.

I think it's awesome, then again, i'm Irish and my ancestors were french who made canons so maybe it's ingrained in me to like french things

As a Belgian, the camo mixing actually makes me sad, since it's a sign of how severely underfunded the army is.
Backpacks are probably bought by the soldiers themselves
Tan chest rigs because the army can't afford a second color version and they bought tan because Afghanistan.

Also kinda jealous of the Leclerc, since our previous minister of defence decided that tanks and other tracked vehicles were things of the past.

>>27946329
It is stupid expensive.

No reason to pick it over an Abram or T-90MS if your a country looking to buy a tank.

They are only able to sell it to a bunch of Arabs because of kickbacks.

>>27948975
Remeber that the Americans for a decade or so had mis-matched gear as well.

>>27948916
It wasn't, not by far
