Not really, no. If you want a similar tank to the Leo L/44, you have the AMX 30 Super. The two tanks are virtually identical in all things that matter at the BR (the Super trades a slightly better turret with the Leo having vastly superior optics). The AMX-32 105 isn’t as good as the Super. Although one could argue the 20 mm makes all the difference (I personally think it’s more situational).
It was 9.0. Now its 9.3. Just as any similar vehicle.
Just as any vehicle, that was 9.0 before BR changes.
Yeah the hull is an easy pen but the turrets of them are a nightmare that I just avoid. Luckily the average T55 AM-1 player has no clue what they’re doing. Also it’s not just 8.7 that gets the special perks.
Not everything changed brs. Type 74 are 9.0, amx 32 120 stayed 9.3. The Amx 32 105 didn’t have to go up 0.3 br because not everything did.
Literally, everything. Type 74 (E) and (F) were 8.7 before. Type 74 (G) moved from 9.0 to 9.3. AMX-32 105 is equivalent to Type 74 (G), so it should have gone to 9.3 as 74(G)
You also have German and Italian 1A5 that sit at 9.3, they should be direct counterparts to the AMX-32s.
It definitely helps against rushing light vehicles and destroying tracks/barrels in brawls.
Their turrets are also pretty soft, you can literally shoot at their turrets in the test drive of German vehicles.
AM-1 has additional armor on cheeks but there’s still a pretty large area exposed around the gun, which shouldn’t be a problem to hit with a LRF and dart.
They can’t do much in hull down spots with it’s limited gun depression.
Name me those perks please.
Stuff that was deemed too powerful got moved up, it’s pretty simple actually.
The 20 mm is definitely situational, if you have played the amx 30 before you know what it can and can’t do. It can destroy tracks but the only time you would is if you killed the enemies gunner or cannon, if they wiffed their shot or somehow didn’t kill you and you have a faster reload. If those don’t happen you’re going to need to back away and you can’t hit their tracks while moving majority of the time. The only time you can shoot someone’s barrel is if they have a long reload and they just stare at you because it’s not very good at destroying breaches due to it shooting 50/50 he and hvap plus the cannon is on the side so it’s not really precise in a cwc situation where you would shoot the barrel.
I know that no one deemed the amx 32 105 to powerful. It is not some op vehicle in the first place and barely anyone uses it for it to be complained about.

in what universe? It has 405mm flat - 10m
Except that it should have been 8.7 before the change (and then move to 9.0).
Forgot to mention, 20mm vs light tanks is very inconsistent. Since it uses hvap it makes no shrapnel and hvap is terrible against angled so if a bmp faces head on or angled non of the 20mm will pen

Also 50/50 hvap/he
OP vehicles don’t move up by only a single BR step.
Most of those vehicles got moved up after 7.0 - 9.0 decompression, they simply were deemed too good to stay where they were before the changes.
OFL 105 F1 was made around the same time as M735 (For a short while France thought about adopting the then new M735 instead of launching production of OFL 105 F1 and both 105F1 and M735 have similar timelines ) so yeah the pen is not great
60 degrees, 214x2 = 428 @ 2km, all were at 2km since that’s what I have the reference table at.
