German crew in the Leopard and French in the LeClerc? Well I have to give it to the Leopard as its hard to hit a target when you're in reverse.

Seriously though, to my thinking the LeClerc is the freshman recruit who hasn't been down in the mud with the big boys for real yet and as such it would be foolish to opt for it over the proven Leopard.

-Why do the french have tree lined boulevards?

-because nazis like to march in the shade



Anyway i voted for the Leo2 because of the export sales and the semi-proven history.

The Leclerc is a very advanced tank with a great gun, great FCS, and good ammo. Don't dismiss it

Well, the LeClerc is faster, and that is its one and only advantage over the Leopard 2a6. The Leopard is better armored, has better anti-mine protection, probably a better FCS. One big point against the LeClerc is barrelling down. It is incapable of barrelling down very far with the turret facing forward. The Leo can be facing any direction you like. The LeClerc does have a lower profile. Overall, the Leopard 2a6 is superior, but I doubting that the LeClerc is getting a fair shake. It truly is a very good tank. Unfortunately, the French have never had any tank prove itself to be a big hit on the field of battle, so everyone is going to tend to overlook them .

When has the Leopard 2 been down in the mud?

I know the Leo 1 has, but we're talking about the big Two here.

Doesn't the French Army use DU rounds? I think they're forbidden in Germany or something stupid.
