I review the AMX 30 1er prototype, a tier 9 French medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 10 El Halluf and Steppes battles. We also discuss how to manage poor team deployments.
With the recent buffs to its turret armor, the AMX 30 offers an extremely fast, brawly, and enjoyable playstyle.
Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb reload (6.9s) provides high DPM (2691 base)
+ Superb top speed (65 kph)
+ Excellent gun depression (-8)
+ Excellent acceleration
+ Good alpha (390)
+ Good frontal turret armor
- Somewhat derpy accuracy / gun handling
- Soft hull armor
- Relatively large cupola on the turret is a weak spot
Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. VStab
3. Rammer
This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
