    About the HEAT not being a HEAT-FS, just here to say, that in all intents and purposes and purposes, the french 105 HEAT acts exactly like a HEAT-FS. It has the flight path of a HEAT-FS, as it relies on gyroscopic stabilization, while keeping the high penetration of the HEAT-FS by haviubng a counter rotating core to keep the full penetration effect of the HEAT

    The reason why the AMX-30 was never fitted with gun stabilization is simply budget related. In the late 70s and 80s, adding stabilization as part of upgrade packs for the AMX-30 was strongly considered, but the French Army suffered painful budget cuts and they chose to neglect their tank force. It's also for that reason that they never bought the AMX-40 and that the Leclerc was only introduced in service in 1992. It's absolutely not because they thought that gun stabilization was useless or not needed.

  • @Lord_WUder
    @Lord_WUder 10 місяців тому +6

    In my opinion, the AMX-30 Super is a very good premium tank, fast, with good penetration and good reverse speed.
    It can be said that a typical mbt, certainly much better than VBCI-2.
    Of course, it's not the best but it's still quite good, even better than the Leopard 1a1 L44, which seems to be slower. The significant difference between the two is that the Leopard 1 can more or less take a turret shot and survive, while the AMX-30 Super will most likely die. Another difference is the difference in penetration, but it's not a huge one and it doesn't really matter.
    There are definitely worse premium tanks like OF-40 (MTCA), Leopard 1A5NO slower than AMX-30 Super, has a slightly better shell, generally it doesn't change anything, Khalid which has the same br and has no thermal vision, Type 16 (FPS ) is theoretically a little better, but in my opinion it has a weak shell. There are price differences, but no one is forcing you to buy premium vehicles at full price.
    I would even add that the XM-1 is comparable to the AMX-30 Super, in general the XM-1 is a bit better and that's a fact, it has a better rate of fire and mobility and has the theoretical ability to take a HEAT round without damage, although it also has the same disadvantage as the AMX- 30 Super, i.e. the ammo stack in the turret and a weak shell, as in the Type 16 (FPS).
    Still, I wouldn't call the AMX-30 a super weak premium tank, just average, but definitely not weak and worse than the rest.
