In the review, I was mentioning that the AMX-30 Super was an odd addition, since there is essentially no real documents about it and just a press report. The well referenced AMX-30C2 and V would have been a much better choice.
Honestly, I do not want a “third” AMX-32 knowing that only 2 were actually presented.
Like with the AMX-40, “new prototypes” were actually using most parts from previous ones…
I think that AMX-30C2 or Venezuela, and the TML turret on one French (VEXTRA or AMX-10) and/or foreign popular tank (CV90, Piranha…) would be more interesting and better documented additions to the French tech tree.
Below a Swiss Piranha 10x10 with the TML turret
By the way, another good option, would be to add a Swiss subtree in the French tech tree!
Welcome to the battle between the French and Germans for the Swiss I suppose. There’s a lot of people arguing that Switzerland should only be in one tree or a part of a new BENELUX tree.
Would like to see them as being shared in some capacity.
Otherwise I can agree that France is still under rated. We’ve gotten mostly copy paste the past few years despite the potential.
However there’s really no reason to play 11.7 since there’s only Leclercs.
I also see the AZUR as a problem child because it should have been an armor modification, not it’s own vehicle.
Specifically the Sagaie II and Indonésia’s Yonkav-2 would be my amendments to your wishlist. The VEXTRA and Leclerc prototypes were needed long ago. More IFV’s and missile carriers are nice which I’ll link a list.
There is one single stretched element. Do not let Gaijin fool you.
There are more AMX 32 that they acknowledge. The first three used the 105mm gun
Given the Piranha and CV90 were the earlier version that did not get stabilizers yet… it would be a useless addition to the BR where it would end up.
Only the AMX 10 RC and Vextra recieved such version. There was a photoshop of the CV90 with the upgraded turret but Gaijin removed the vehicle (with the older turret model) altogether form the game.
The Yonkav 2 ? it has no stabilizer though. It’s not good for the current BR requirements.
The Sagaie II could be nice, especially since Gaijin could split it into the normal (no thermals) and Saudi test (export) version that would get thermals.
I realize that I cannot edit anymore the original post!
Is this a thing on the new forum that you cannot edit a post after 1 day???
This review is meant to be edited (and corrected) as new French tanks are introduced…
I looked into it more, while I couldn’t refind the source from a few years ago I looked into the SK-105A3. I’m pretty sure it was an Indonesian blog post that talked about AMX-13 variants. They might have mixed up the two.
This also has applique armor and has a good amount of documentation for being stable.
Pretty sure anyone with 2 ounces of judgmeent will tell you an unstabilized tank at 9.7 is pretty bad and uncompetitive and that no one would want to play it
We need to be picky about vehicles to have competitive line ups that can hold up to competition and not be left with “QUirKy FreNCh TaNKs” that are twice as hard to play for half the return (sadly a recurent theme in the tree)
yes it is new, but there should be up to 30 days edit period, not 1 day.
So you might want to re-create a new updated review each update
I didn’t say that the Yonkav-2 should be 9.7, it would be 9.0 at best because of the better engine and applique armor. 9.7 would go to the SK-105A3.
After that the Vextra’s and modernized AMX-10RC’s can come.
As neat as the SK-105A3 would be, I’m worried snail will try to sneak it into the German tree (and only the German tree) like the SK-105 last time. It’s not as if there is no connection (leopard fcs) but Germany doesn’t really need these vehicles.
Best we can do is keep asking for it really. It’s a stabilized derivative of the AMX-13.
Which is why communicating with the German players would be good, unless they start trying to claim it for themselves. It’s not a very pleasant thought, so hopefully it doesn’t get there.
They have plenty of domestic alternatives that we can try to help them get while the SK-105A3 is in the niche “French quirkiness.”
Anyone else find it absolutely insulting that the AMX 13-90 and Char 25t despite having the same power to weight ratio have the slowest acceleration of all 7.7-8.0 tanks.
It’s because of the statistics they have from the players.
They aren’t good for their br brackets, but that doesn’t matter in skilled hands. So Escargot ruins it for everyone else.
I can bring the EBR 1954 to 10.0 and use it just as well, so by Escargot’s logic it keeps going up.
Anyone else peeved at the fact that Gaijin hasn’t added more than 1 or 2 roof mounted MG’s for their tanks (6.7-7.7)? I’m encountering helicopters and much more CAS and I can’t do anything with my 500 fire-rate hull-mounted MG. Other nations have been getting .50 cals and 20mm cannons since 5.0 BR. Why can’t we have nice things?
