• AMX 13 75 - French Tier VII Light Tank

Tank Presentation

One of the most popular tanks of the French army. The AMX 13 75 was designed in 1946 in a workshop building in Issy-les-Moulineaux. The aim was to build a very light tank, light enough to be transported by air. Uncommonly for a tank, the vehicle was mass produced for more than 30 years, from 1952 to 1985. The AMX was also sold to many nations, particularly in Asia and South America.

Aspects of the Gameplay

The AMX 13 75 is a bit like the American light tanks. Its speed is his greatest asset, and you must use it and abuse it. Another advantage is your gun - with its good accuracy and autoloader – that makes you dangerous against lightly armoured targets, namely the SPGs, light tanks and destroyers. So be aware that experienced players will choose you as their number #1 target to shoot.

The use of Coated Optics and a Camouflage Net can help you scout more easily, at a greater distance and therefore prevent you from being over exposed to enemy fire. Basically, you will have to avoid clashes at all costs with medium and heavy tanks and will act like a mosquito does when you sleep. We also recommend a medical kit because your crew is often injured when you take a hit.

Strong Points/Weak Points

Strong Points

The AMX 13 75 has a cylinder for 6 shots. This tank is very agile, turns well and, of course, goes very fast. The turret turns quickly and it doesn't take long to focus. The tank accelerates quickly and alternates between back and forth movements very quickly. The radio is very good and makes you an excellent HL spy.

 

Weak Points

You are the number 1 target. Your gun does little damage and rarely penetrates the armour. The available upgrades don't do much for your tank.

Pimp my Ride: What equipment to choose?

Buying Order

The improvements to the 13-75 AMX are not really excellent. Even if the tank is good to begin we should not expect a radically different gameplay after haveing installed the components. However, radio and the engine are the two elements that will significantly improve your performance. As a light tank, do not forget that you are primarily the eyes and ears of the team.

 

Radio

• SCR 528F / As a light tank, you are the designated spy of your team. The standard radio has a range of only 400m, I find it is necessary to get the second quickly because it has an signal range of 750m. Once equipped, you can reveal the enemy positions of almost anyone.

Engine

• Baudouin 6F 11 SRY / This engine costs 8,000 experience points but the speed is your greatest asset, so invest quickly in this engine, especially as it weighs the same as the previous one and therefore does not require the purchase of new tracks.

• Detroit Diesel 6V53T / For 11,000 experience points, this engine will give you an extra 20Hp for your AMX. However, the significant weight of this piece of equipment will mean you have to first invest in Type 2A caterpillars. So it will require a good few games before you can move at full power.

Tracks

• AMX 13 Type 2A / They will be necessary to obtain the Detroit Diesel 6V53T. Although expensive, the last engine is one of the few major upgrades of the tank.

Equipment

The use of these pieces of equipment will help you scout easier:

 Camouflage Net.

 Coated Optics.
