Don't forget that compared to the pod on the Mirage 2000D you have the DAMOCLES with three times the magnification and third generation thermals! It's the highest magnification in the game (for aircraft) with IIRC x96 zoom

Wouldn't be quite 3rd gen, in game it would be gen 2+, it's 1080x720, which is very similar to the helicopter gen 2+ resolution of 1024x768. Gen 3 would be 1200x800. The A-6E (due to a bug) also got a thermal resolution upgrade, it uses now the helicopter resolution of 1024x768, but only if you have the NVD mod equipped I believe. Also according to datamines, the highest zoom will soon go to the Jaguar A and E, with 12x-150x zoom roughly (from 6x-25x it is now). They are not FLIR pods tho, so it's not nearly as good still. Not sure if this is really an upgrade altogether either, it will be more annoying to use if you don't have a zoom axis binded and losing the wider fov is kinda sad as well.

CAS is my favorite type of content in War Thunder videos.
the difference between the S.1 and S2 are , better cooling fins on the breaks and sponsons (you can see it in game) the big box in the back of the turret is an NBC-AC unit, some appliqué armor on the sponsons (modeled in game) and then it's mostly battlefield datalink on thing to mention, is that the Leclerc should not have more exhauts fumes when accelerating because of it's Hyperbar engine

THIS GUY PRONOUNCED LECLERC PERFECTLY !!!! GIVE THIS MAN MEDAL OF HONOR
Killed 13 of these so far, my pantsir reigns supreme as I've yet to be killed by one
16:40: The difference between the S1 and S2 is the AC system for the inside of the tank, so in game it gives you no advantage and actually makes the tank and turret less responsive due to both being heavier. The SXXI has improved armor, battlefield management systems and sights, but the additional armor isn't modelled because gaijin hates the Leclerc for some reason: - Underperforming armor and excessive spalling. There's a thread about both on the forums, the UFP is an absolute tragedy and there's a video of the most ridiculous kill ever due to the insane spalling: A shell going above and parallel to the track kills all crew members. - Mobility is underperforming as well: The Leclerc has a unique combination of diesel engine and gas turbine where the turbine fills the role of the turbocharger which eliminates turbo lag and makes the tank far more responsive and gives it great acceleration. There's a video of a Leclerc racing a VBCI on youtube and the Leclerc actually leads for a good part of it (it's pretty easy to find, just type the name of both vehicles) . That's not modelled in game because reasons. - Nuclear fuel tanks - Missing its best APFDS shells - Reload is slower than it could be And forgot to mention: Love your content Justin!

Just as a side not it's not a camera, they're called TGP's, ie targeting pods
Hello there ! Thanks for this nice vid about this beautiful plane ! Between S1 and S2, there are no major changes to the game. The addition of air conditioning for the crew, which you can see at the rear of the turret, and IRL improvements that don't add much to the game. I'm almost tempted to say that, in its current state, the S1 is better because it's lighter without the air conditioning, and as long the S2 don't get more powerfull ammo. However, from S2 onwards, all Leclercs can wear the AZUR armour package. I still hope Gajin add them. As for the SXXI's armour, unfortunately all the internal armour is supposed to be reinforced with titanium, so it shouldn't just be a few centimetres around the gunner like in WT, but a whole armour upgrade (which is already some armour far from realistic even on previous versions). And of course, better shells... I'm sad that the Leclercs is the only MBT top tier not to receive any new shells (nothing since the first release) when almost everyone else has received better ones. Just to illustrate, the next Leclerc to come into WT is logically the XLR, but the shell that should already be there for the Leclercs in game wouldn't even be suitable as the basic XLR shell because it's totally obsolete. Sad powercreep, from the armor, the mobility (it's a 1500hp hyperbar, the second the pilot presses the accelerator he has 1500hp, the power is direct...at least IRL. And the turret should rotate around 40°/s, way more than actual number) and the shells.. Look a little race between a Leclerc and the VBCI : kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4R4x7KSdcLFnNY.html Turning to the Magic 2, it's funny that you say they're going all out on the flares, because according to Gaijin, they're the most resistant missiles (and bonus: they should be even more resistant to countermeasures than they are now).
I think the best part is that this and the 2000D-R1 dont share the same SP since this is a fighter and not a strike aircraft so its worth it to bring both

Fun fact any plane can bully SAMs like the pantsir since the missile nerf. Now SAM missiles cant pull for shit you just need to do a few turns and you are safe. Plus SAM radars will not keep a steady lock on target making it near impossible to hit anything moving at speed. Which the SAM systems were build to do...

I’m not saying the Pantsir didn’t need to be nerfed, imo they had better and cheaper options like the upgraded TOR for Russia with only maybe an extra 1-2 km range and better missiles than the current TOR for China. I’m just saying that in Ground RB, I shouldn’t see the enemy team spawn in like 5-7 jets all at the same time, even at low tiers the CAS spam is ridiculous. And I’ve lost games on both sides of the CAS plague, I’ve lost games from being completely overwhelmed and spawn killed by CAS and I’ve lost games when most (sometimes all) of my teammates get in planes and provide barely any support on the ground. I do understand the roll that CAS plays but I’m getting to a point with it that I’m starting to actually agree with the percentage of people that think having a ground only mode would be better than what we have now

People keep saying "oH nO CaS oP" especially at top tier but it really requires a lot more skill to be successful than people think. Easier now with the missile nerf but really, just how many planes can you spawn? Once then you're probably done, a little mistake and that's 700-750 spawn points wasted. These Pantsir spammers can spawn 2 (or any of these top tier SPAAs for that matter) with less spawn points than an MBT, clear the skies like braindead bots, point and clicking from beyond spawn range and spawn a KA-50 or some other bullshit they want. Playing SPAA at top tier has way less risk than CAS, and that's probably the point. The skill required to be successful with CAS vs SPAA especially with the introduction of the Pantsir pre missile rework is too far in between.
I wish Japan had something like this. I have both the F-16AJ and AH-64DJP, but I seem to have no opportunities to use either. Either killed by Pantsirs, planes, or Ka-50/52s. Speaking of good SPAA, Japan doesn’t get that either. Also doesn’t help I keep getting put against Russia, so I’ve lost like 40 games in a row now. Russian bias or not, the statistics do not lie that something needs to be done because top tier is a one-sided game rn.

You make ground RB look way too easy.
In my opinion, cas is only that strong, because the maps don’t provide enough cover. Add more spots, that are safe from cas and it won’t be as much of a problem as it’s now. Another possibility would be to add spaa spawn points around air base with some room to move around. Obviously if there are only spaas left in the game, that spawned at air bases, the ticket counter will burn down just like with planes.
Don't challenge a modern aircraft to glide to the airbase when the fuel is off. My F-4F flew without fuel for 5 minutes with no problem
