To date, the computer game World of Tanks remains one of the most popular multiplayer projects in the world, as well as the only high-class tank simulator ever to hit the market. Naturally, there were other attempts before this game, but all of them were very far from at least a good level - let alone excellent. The World of Tanks changed this - the developers put together everything that people wanted in their project: short session battles, maximum proximity to reality, a variety of combat units, and most importantly, complete control of the tank. You are a commander, and a shooter, and a technician, you decide which equipment to install on the tank, which team to pick up and much more, and all this affects your performance in battle. Of course, the choice of the tank itself also has a very strong influence, and each combat vehicle has its own advantages and disadvantages. This article will focus on the French medium tank AMX-30 V, which is one of the best in the French branch, as well as one of the most mobile medium tanks in the game. You can find out what equipment is available for him, what his combat indicators are, figure out the advantages and disadvantages of this model, and you can decide whether this tank is suitable for you. Will the AMX-30 become your new favorite car in the game?
Research and leveling
It is immediately worth noting that the AMX-30 V is the main combat model that is actually used. But at the same time, it is not basic. To get this tank in the game, you first need to get an AMX 30 1er prototype, which is a much weaker version. And when pumping this tank, you can explore the main version. Please note that this tank is premium - this means that the article will not describe what guns, towers, engines, and so on, like most basic tanks that you can upgrade. This model comes immediately in perfect fit and cannot be improved. This is called an “elite state”, so if you got this tank, you can forget about the worries that plague many gamers and calmly focus directly on the gameplay.
Tower
So, what components do the AMX-30 have? The guide will tell you about each element separately, so that you can examine in detail all the components, identify strengths and weaknesses, and also begin to form a tactical approach in your head. Naturally, the article will later describe the advantages, disadvantages, and basic tactics for this tank, but you need to understand that a guide is just the base for you. Reading this article will not make you a master of the game on this model, but you can use this material to succeed on your own. The first thing that will be discussed is the tank tower. It’s worth starting with her reservation - unfortunately, it is far from ideal. The thickness of the frontal layer is 80 millimeters, but at the same time, boron and feed are twice as vulnerable - the armor layer there is 40 and 30 millimeters, respectively. Fortunately, the tower rotates at the same time quite quickly - at 38 degrees per second. Another impressive advantage is its viewing range, which is 410 meters. Naturally, the tower is not all that the AMX-30 tank consists of. The guide will tell you about the rest of the components.
Gun
To learn how to play the AMX-30, you need to find out exactly which weapon is installed on this tank, and also to figure out how to use it better. The gun in this case is a 105 mm mle gun. F1, which has very good performance for an average tank. For this weapon there are three types of shells - sub-caliber, cumulative and high-explosive. The first are the main ones, they pierce 260 millimeters of armor, causing 390 damage. Cumulative shells differ from sub-caliber in that they can only be purchased for gold - and when they deal the same damage, they have a much higher penetration rate, 320 millimeters. Well, as for high-explosive shells that are worth using to finish off tanks with broken armor, they inflict 480 damage, but are practically not able to penetrate armor - only 53 mm. If we consider the characteristics of the gun itself, then the performance is very good. Rate of fire is 6.74 rounds per minute, the spread is generally tiny, 0.3 meters per hundred meters. And the mixing of this gun takes 2.1 seconds. This gun makes the AMX-30 B tank very dangerous in battle, and if you combine these indicators with its speed and mobility, you get a wonderful machine.
Engine
The AMX-30 tank, as you already understood, has high mobility - it achieves it thanks to a powerful engine and an upscale chassis. If we talk about the engine, the Hispano-Suiza HS 110 model, which is installed on this tank, pleases with all its indicators. It has a capacity of 720 horsepower and allows the tank to accelerate to 65 kilometers per hour. We should also take a look at the level of its safety - the probability of fire in this engine is only ten percent, which is significantly lower than that of many other engines installed in tanks in this game. So this aspect can also be credited to the plus tank AMX-30 B. Hyde has already mentioned the chassis of this model, so it’s worth considering it.
Chassis
If you played on a tank that precedes this one (we already talked about it above) (AMX-30 is a prototype), then you will very quickly notice how much better the version B has the undercarriage. While the basic version of the prototype chassis had a rotation speed of 34 degrees per second, and this indicator could only be improved to 36 degrees per second, version B immediately offers you an incredible figure of 48 degrees per second! This is one of the best turning speeds in the game, and it is due to it that this tank gets its incredible mobility. As for the load that this chassis can withstand, in comparison with the prototype it has not changed - now the tank can weigh up to 38 tons.
Radio station
As for communication with partners, this tank has no particular problems here - the radio station installed at it allows you to communicate with partners at a distance of up to 750 meters, so you can light up opponents without much difficulty, but you can’t say that this indicator stood out from the rest of the tanks.
Battle efficiency
Well, you studied the basic equipment of the AMX-30, and now it's time to consider the tactics of warfare, which is worth using if you play on this tank. The main distinguishing features of this model is a weak reservation in combination with a powerful gun, as well as high maneuverability. Thus, you should use this machine as a support tank - you have nothing to do with your armor at the “tip of the attack”. Use the accuracy of your guns to one hundred percent, this is your main trump card in attacking actions. Take advantageous positions, make targeted shots and immediately change your position so that you can’t be calculated. After all, if you will not be supported by others, and you will meet head-on with some heavy tank, then you will have a hard time. Simply put, you need to use the speed and mobility of your tank to move from flank to flank, from one vantage point to another, use the accuracy and power of your gun for aiming, and try to avoid direct contact with opponents to prevent them from using your main disadvantage is the low booking.
Benefits
So, in order to fully understand this tank, you need to take a closer look at what has just been touched - its advantages and disadvantages. Knowing them, you can understand which sides of your tank are weak and which are strong. Necessary to cover from enemies, others to use in suitable situations. Simply put, World of Tanks is not a tank shooter, it is a full-fledged simulator in which you have to think and plan a lot in order to succeed. So what are the main advantages of this machine? Firstly, it is its mobility - high speed of movement and incredible turning speed make this tank one of the most mobile in the game. At the same time, a high viewing and communication range add even more advantages to the gamer who decides to manage this model. Well, of course, one cannot fail to mention the gun, which penetrates armor very well, that is, it can even hit heavy tanks. In combination with high accuracy, this gun turns into an analogue of a sniper rifle, and, given the range of the review, you can show incredible results if you correctly build your tactics of action on the battlefield.
disadvantages
Naturally, each tank has its own drawbacks, and this model is not without them. A lot has already been said about one of the main drawbacks - booking with a tank leaves much to be desired. It will be difficult for you to withstand the direct hits of most guns, so you will definitely have to hide and attack from shelters - your tank will not be suitable for a frontal attack. But there are also other minor flaws - for example, the commander’s tower is quite large, so it will be difficult for you to hide behind hills or other territorial elements. The command tower will be very easy to target. There is also a drawback that slightly reduces the overall performance of the machine - in this tank the crew is much more often injured, and equipment is often damaged, which can prevent you from functioning at altitude in an emergency.
Equipment
It is worth telling a little about the equipment that is installed on this tank. First of all, this is a rammer - this item reduces the reload time of your gun, which increases its rate of fire, making your tank more dangerous for the enemy. Then you need to install a vertical aim stabilizer, since with it you can reduce the time it takes to complete the mix, and also reduces the dispersion of shells when shooting in motion, which will allow you to be more accurate in any conditions. Well, of course, you need improved ventilation, since it will allow you to increase the characteristics of the tank due to various factors. That's all you need to know about the AMX-30 tank. Player feedback is the last item you should familiarize yourself with to find out what other gamers think of this machine.

Many rejoice in the fact that thanks to its high mobility, it is easy to capture key points with this tank. And, of course, almost everyone distinguishes this model as ideal for sniper shooting from cover.
