France has other options besides the AZUR, which my main issue with it is how poorly implemented it is. There’s simply no reason for it to exist in the game as it is.
I would have preferred one of the UAE or the Tropicalisé over it. But since it was demonstrated on an S2 that means it has to be an S2 in game, not an SXXI. France should have a lot of light armor in its line ups as well, not just Leclercs. But Gaijin doesn’t seem to have a very good grasp on French doctrine or is simply averse to the idea of potential for more CAS in ground, which shouldn’t be our problem.
Why is the AML-90 at 7.7 BR and the ELC bis is at 6.0 BR ? The AML-90 is straight trash at 7.7 and the ELC bis dominates at 6.0. Shouldn’t these two vehicles be swapped. I haven’t unlocked the Char 25T yet but that doesn’t seem like it should be at 8.0 either.
I feel like this would make more sense…
AML-90 = 6.7 (The Italian AUBL/74 is at 6.7 BR. It doesn’t have as much Pen but better in every other way.)
ELC bis = 7.0 (Bumped up from 6.0)
Char 25T = 7.3 or 7.7 (Down from 8.0)
A common theme is that mid to high tier French vehicles are overrated by Gaijin compared to their counterparts. While the average skill requirement is higher, the return for reaching it is better.
That doesn’t really make sense since the ELC bis should be at a much higher BR.
It’s overall worse then the AMX-13. Maybe if it had a higher velocity gun.
It seems to me that the description of the AMX-30 (1972) is lacking on an important point! his in-game BR is false.
Of the almost 90 battles I did, only 3 or 4 were in the right BR, and not even in down-tier. Everything else was up-tier, and there, the tank shines with its flaws because it is outclassed even by vehicles in 8.3.
And yet, I pay close attention to the vehicles in my battle line, to try not to exceed the 8.0 BR in game.
I always find myself against 8.7s or 9.0s in battle, whatever happens, even though my vehicles are not fully unlocked.
I’m starting to realize that the description given of French vehicles on this topic is ultimately quite misleading compared to the reality in the game, and that it only serves to try to give a good image of the French tech tree so, that in the end, there are some vehicles that are just rolling targets for others.

Can anyone tell me why the AMD.35 (SA35) event vehicle is 1.7 when it’s reserve tier brother has more pen?
I’m considering picking it up off the marketplace.
