Hello fellow tankers!

amx13 75 2c 831824

I would like to suggest a new engine sound for the AMX-13 series.

The AMX-13 family is represented in game by now 9 different variants in two different nations. Moreover, its currents engine sounds ingame are the chaffee’s engine sounds which doen’t reflect at all the true sound of the tank.

Specs :

Engine : SOFAM 8 Gxb

  • Gasoline flat-eight
  • Watercooled
  • 270HP at 3200rpm

[EDIT] 28/10/24 : replaced the videos of FARG Motorpool’s AMX-13 by other videos because the engine wasn’t the same as the original tank.

You could try to contact the sound dev. I heard they are a pretty chill person, and works with players when they bring some suggestion, like the Leclerc engine sound for exemple

Hell yeah I play pretty much all the AMX13s quite a lot, this will add some very nice spice for them.

Except the AMX13HOT which is basically garbage

I think ELC AMX has similar engine designation (also SOFAM), but its a bit less powerful
