It does not actually. There are rumors spread around the internet about it having 80mm frontal armor at ~68 degree angles but measurements of it have resulted in values of around 50mm.

Lol because WG never would release a clone of another tank…..T54 x10

Also AMX 30 is no where near the Leo. It had much much much greater armor.

AMX30 was much more armored turret wise.

Hi everyone. First, sorry for my english. I am spanish. And second, I work with tanks, in special, the Leo 2E in Madrid ( Spain) In my site of work, we have this tank, the hybrid amx 30. The real name is ” El niño” and is a hybrid with amx 30 and M 48 patton. 2 Generals try to make a faster tank, and one build this hybrid. Tomorrow i take a photo and post here.

And for SS, we have a lot of tank in the museum. Various T26, Ft 17, Fiat Ansaldo, Verdeja, and lot of more. Thx, and sorry for my english. I know only shoot with a real tank. LOL.

I didn’t say anything about the AMX 30, which really does have to come – either it comes or the Leopard gets removed, I don’t care – just about the Spanish version.

The AMX 30 and the Leopard 1 have some major differences in regards to premium ammunition, tank shape, onboard systems, armor layouts, cupolas, ect. ect. but the Spanish AMX 30 combines most AMX 30 systems and Leopard 1 systems which means tanks that are, despite their differences similar, are extremely akin to each other in this vehicle. So I must worry that WG will not want to include because of such.

Not willing to implement too similar tanks ingame…

Like the russian tier 10 meds that are not implemented because they are too similar…

Those are even added in the same nation, I guess it wouldnt hurt if the french have a medium tank somewhat like the leopard. It is an important influential french tank after all. Was mass produced unlike many other tanks already in the french tree.

While I’m a whole hearted supporter of such a project, one thing I must worry about is that WG will not like it for being too similar to tanks that are or are planned to be in game. There is already some belief that the AMX 30 is too similar to the Leopard 1, and the Spanish AMX-30 with the Leopard turret is a fusion of two very similar tanks. Would it be possible to differentiate it enough to make Wargaming have an incentive to add it in as its own vehicle? While I’m a fan of its inclusion I must worry that they will not be so easily convinced.

French expansion comes a few decades after that.

yep, mostly a low tier branch, but for wg the branches that doesnt reach high tier have very low priority(hello christie tanks)
