not really bat chat was developped before amx 30 and was considered too light for a main battle tank, only after it was decided to make a consortium with germany in order to develop a main battle tank for central europe which was not american.Amx 30 and leopard were put in competition but each country wanted to have the supremacy over the construction of the european main battle tank.
France get out from nato just after and developped amx30 , germany was then allowed to develop their own armament and continued too develop the leopard, that’s it.But the two tanks are coming from a same european program.

Guess it’s time to start playing my 13-90 again and accumulate some XP on it to not convert.

They will never get rid of gold ammo we know that. But we also know WG wants to nerf pen on tanks having “too much pen” which is basically all tier 9-10 mediums except T54 and E50 at tier 9 because these have max 219-223mm pen.

so the prototype may be designated AMX-30A and the working model AMX-30B?

France now has a second MBT. the Bat was its competitor, right?

While I know the French army and navy often uses German manufacturing and engineering, I never heard anything about British equipement.

As of now, France, who uses Germany as her lapdog on this matter, seems to be the best european arm manufacturer anyway. The British are getting back into business, but they’ve fallen behind quite a lot in the past decade.

When I read about Škoda tanks I was very proud (I am cz) but than I SAW 10 tier has autoloader with 320 dmg and 4-6 shells, if it was 4 it would ve just fucking bad, since the BC can kill any other 10 med with one drum, and it wouldnt even be able to kill a BC… Than i saw an update but there isnt much info actualy so…

They can be seen. But BC is obviously more common. Usually even with full medium tank layouts you generally have 4 ~ 5 non-batchat tanks. Mixed layouts with IS-7 and T110E5 generally forgo any medium other than batchats.

Autoloaders are just more useful when coordinated since they can kill off tanks quickly that would otherwise do damage to friendly tanks. Even with the high DPM of other mediums the enemy generally get’s 2 shots in with mild ease if their positioning is somewhat competent.

The other tier 10 mediums usually are present as clean-up crew after the batchats. This doesn’t make batchats OP on their own, but they certainly are far more deadly when coordinated and honestly they shit over any other tier 10 medium tank 1 vs 1 anyway which is also important in clanwars for the instances of close matches.
