A follow up to my [post about French designs that could have been added instead of the Leopard 1a5BE](https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1u0538l/alternatives_to_copy_pasting_the_leopard_1a5_into/), I wanted to suggest a way to "make lemonade from lemons"

It's clear that in nearly every functional aspect, the Leopard 1a5BE is a clone of the other Leopard 1a5's in the game, and especially for a tree like France, copy-paste is the last thing (almost) anyone wants right now, so here's a solution:

When the AMX-30C2 (or another French 9.3 design) gets added to the game, the Leopard 1a5BE should be given it's unique Belgian ammo, and the MEXAS turret that Belgium tested for upgrades to it's MBT fleet, and moved up to BR 10.0.

This works because it makes the tank more unique, reinforces a line up with fewer French options, and provides a notable difference in capabilities from what could be added to French 10.0.

While other French tree 10.0 additions can still be added, like VAB CTA 40, AMX-40e4, SK-105A3, Sabiex SK-105A2, and Leopard 1BE 3105 (depending on ammo selection), the Leopard 1a5BE is already in game, so this moves the vehicles from meh copy-paste to somewhat interesting and unique addition.

New ammo additions are not unprecedented either, just look at the recent 75mm British APHE or the French EBR-1954 getting PCOT-P
