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.”

I improved drastically the presentation of my review of French tanks.
Do not hesitate to mention any error/inaccuracy/typo… Thanks in advance!
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.

On est d’accord la cadence de tir du VBCI a été nerf ?
La cadence de tir du VBCI semble être légèrement plus lente, mais il n’y a pas de changement dans le nombre.
Ah merci je suis pas fou !
Pourquoi aucune communication officielle via le changelog ?
Now that the leo 2A7 is in the game, can we expect this? :

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?

Cause our stats are too good to have mgs…

we literally had to close the skill gap in our tanks and that made us too good… :( nah fr tho the more i play with these tanks I’m realizing that our spalling rounds pack more of a punch than a lot of APHE
In the next planned BR change for tanks above BR 1.7, half of BR increases are for French tanks…The French BR bashing continues…
As several of you, including @MS_Phantasm, have mentioned above, the vicious circle
good stats → BR increase → played by even less bad players → better stats… is at full speed.
I’ll update my review soon after the patch… Sigh…

What can I say, Gaijin’s system for BR changes has always been utterly stupid. Why change something which is completely broken, he?

What are some good lineups between 4.0 and 5.3?
Is it worth uptiering the 3.7 M4/ARL-44 to 4.0 to play the AMX-13 FL-11?
And what about the M4A4 SA-50? It’s the only 5.0, so the choice is either play it alone with 4.0/3.7s as backups which sounds like a terrible idea, or uptier it to 5.3, which I would guess it still does good at?
And then there’s the AMX-13 DCA-40 which at 4.3 is in a really weird spot, not worth uptiering 3.7/4.0s to play an SPAA, and at 5.3 you already have the TPK 6.41. Or is it still worth playing it?
