Commanders!
We have already unveiled one skin for the Operation Liberty event that is starting in the near future, but that is definitely not all the event’s going to contain. There is a second set of French prizes and the chief amongst them is the Concorde skin for Leclerc T40.
Despite the Leclerc T40 never making to the prototype stage, this skin is actually based on a real-life vehicle, the Leclerc Main Battle Tank “Concorde” number 6014-0030. The “Concorde” belonged to the second series of the tank, production run 8 – with improved electronics. The second series of the Leclerc was produced between 1997 and 2003 and consisted of 178 vehicles.
The real-life “Concorde” served with the 501st-503rd Combat Tank Regiment, a unit tracing its roots back to the First World War, having fought during the Second World War with the British (including the battle of El Alamein). It survived the Cold War mostly intact and exists (albeit in a different form) today – in 2009 it was reformed as the 501st Combat Tank Regiment.
This skin clads your Leclerc T40 in all the appropriate insignia as well as a large camouflage tarp on the hull.
As for the other assets, we also have a brand-new French camouflage for you called French (Export), as seen on a VBCI infantry fighting vehicle during the Eurosatory expo in Paris in 2024. We are also adding several real-life Leclerc MBT names as decals.
Just like with the AbramsX skin, you will be able to obtain this one by simply playing the game. The “Operation Liberty” event is starting on June 11 and if you play the game every day, you’ll receive the skin on July 14 (the Bastille Day). But even if you’re not interested in this particular skin, the event will offer a number of other prizes, most notably bonus Battle Coins for the Shadow Protocol Battle Path.
We hope you’ll enjoy this content and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!
