World of Tanks Supertest: AMX 65t – Tier VIII French Heavy Tank
2 min readThe new alternative French heavy tank branch will feature armoured tanks without autoloaders. The AMX 65t will be the first of the brand new tanks and will have three guns, offering a varied gameplay. Stock gun will be a 90 mm DCA 45, but players will most likely have to choose between a 100 mm SA47 with more AP penetration and faster reload, offering a high damage per minute, or, a 120 mm D. 1203 with higher alpha but lower AP penetration and reload time, also resulting in a lower damage per minute.
Either way, this tank will offer a new experience in gameplay when it comes to high Tier French heavy tanks. This alternative branch is more than welcome to the game and the AMX 65t seems to be an interesting vehicle.

Premium Penetration on the 120mm Gun: I think 325 Pen is a little bit to much…
This tank could penetrate simply everything.
It is T-54/Object 416 vs Object 140 all over again. Using higher tier gold ammo while not having the same base pen.
I think they should give this the same stats and gun as the AMX M4 49.
They they can compensate players with the AMX 65t as a premium and make the AMX M4 49 the regular tier 8.
Right now this tank doesn’t visually fit the line compared to the tier 7,9 &10
