[Operation Ivy]

Sweet, awsome pics woot , cool video woot , awsome tank to woot Good Post!! woot

[Operation Ivy]

Doesnt the Leclerc weigh only like 54 tons and still have some of the best aromor in the world???, unlike are 69 ton beast the Abrams, how did u guys make it so light? engine possibly?

[Miles Teg]

Certainly more recent method of construction. 56 tons for the official sources

I think if you build an Abrahams 2 with method like for F22, you will have the same result.

I will take more informations for this topic...

EDIT :

http://www.giat-industries.fr/asp/fr/prod_leclerc.asp


the Leclerc tank is characterized by its great modernity, its agility (0 to 30 km/h in less than 6 S) and its evolutionary character.
Its long gun (52 gauges) of 120 mm NATO, supplied in ammunition of 120 mm NATO by an automatic system of loading, enables him to triumph, even when it fights in numerical inferiority.
It has a reduced mass (56 tons) and can be thus projected easily. Thanks to its mobility, with its fire power and its real capacity to carry out at great rate of the precise shootings moving, including any ground and to renew them quickly, this material prints with the man?uvre a new rate/rhythm.
Leclerc is equipped with a composite and modular protection to follow the evolution of the threats and technologies.
Each Leclerc is equipped with the system of assistance to the Finders® command which makes it possible to communicate permanently on the tactical situation in the zone of engagement, as well as the technical state of the functions of the tank.
The Leclerc tank is currently in service in the French Armies and émirienne and to date 796 Leclerc tanks were ordered.

[Operation Ivy]

I see now :P , thxs for th info :hug: .....hopefully the M1A3 Abrams will be much lighter woot

[Marxist203]

Leclerc is a real nice tank, its designed to take on upto three equivalant tanks at once.

I hear that they are designing either a Leopard 2 or a Leclerc to fit a 140mm cannon...but as usual Im not to sure.

If the Leclerc tank can go very quickly, it can slow down almost on the spot in order to avoid in extremis the shooting of a missile. Thanks to the hydrokinetic speed reducer integrated into the gear box, the deceleration of Leclerc reached 7m/s². One includes/understands better why, each man of crew has a belt of safety...


1980 kg for the main 120mm gun
