Level of experience shown in this video is just something I lack to be able to enjoy playing it on my own. But damn is it fun to watch someone who knows what they're doing.
There was an AML-90 is an abandoned factory near the Pennsylvania / New Jersey border a few years ago. My friend (the same one that led me to this channel!) saw a picture of it once on Reddit, and subsequently spent over a year trying to locate it. When he found it, our friend group went and checked it out! It was fairly rusted, but you could get inside and the vertical gun traverse still worked! It has since disappeared, and we're not sure how exactly -- it was in a fairly inaccessible part of the factory, so not really sure what happened. Does anyone have any idea how it could've gotten there, or simply how it could've gotten to the United States? It's the one thing that we've always wanted to find out.
The 16th of January 1986 there was a military exercise lead by the USA to prepare NATO members against any threats, the factory I believe you are talking about was supposed to hold hostages, the aml may be an elephant 90 (basically same vehicle)used to recreate the possible use of russian made light vehicles, after the exercise, a bomb was supposed to explode in the vehicle but it malfunctioned. Due to the lack of responsiveness from the French/English the aml was left there after it was bought in a auction in 2003 for 500k dollars
Been grinding France and this AML-90 is by far the most fun. Way better than the EBR or AMX-13. Fighting USA and Russia with 50. cals or 12.7mm is a major pain in close quarters. Has more than enough pen but can be inconsistent. Biggest complaint is France has no AA between 4.3-8.3 because Gaijin hates them. It is peak gremlim energy.
Amx13 ss11 is much better than default amx. The middle are at a slight angle so you can fire over hills without revealing yourself. It’s like a way better bmp. The middle can’t be racked either, only disabled. I don’t know why it’s at 6.7 but aml and ss11 are my best performing vehicles
I started by the french tech tree and hated the AML, i never managed to get shots right. After grinding the germans and getting some skill at figuring ranges I came back to it and its just incredible. Light tanks are really the way to go in warT.
I really like light tanks because there's realistically no downside to having weak armor in the game. Even the Maus can get penned. Just don't get hit lmao.
@@Kraus- Yes, my favorite is the M18, you can just move around, go back to cover before being fired at and destroy entire teams of retarded tigers and panthers... So much fun. Basically only mobility and firepower exist in warT, so why bother transporting useless armor ?
In South Africa they were called Noddy Cars by their crews (official designation Eland 90). They were extremely effective in Angola, against the Cuban and FAPLA forces that were equipped with T34-85 and T54/55 tanks, but only after they were upgraded to suit African conditions, of course.
The french made it to counter USSR massive fleet of tanks. They wanted a light, cheap, easy to maintain, easy to use but deadly scout tank to play hit and run with the soviet tanks.
Yup, I was a gunner in an Eland 90 during Op Savannah in 1975. We had the Mk 1. Weaknesses were the wheel bevel boxes couldn’t handle the impact of the recoil after a certain amount of shots fired. Had to be stationary & out of gear before firing ( & not at 90 degrees unless you want to risk toppling over ;-) Our steering column snapped twice, once at a v bad time) But overall it did a great job. Enjoy playing with this model.
"My viewers are toxic and this is toxic". The whole French tech tree from about 6.3 to 9.0 is absolutely over-BRd and this is one of the rare vehicles that helps make the French 6-9 grind not-quite-so-awful.
They look good cause they don't stink like the rest of the French tree and correctly placed. I do believe the 7.7's could have stayed at 7.3 and of course AMX 30 1972 should not be 8.0. But generally the 7.0-7.7 French bracket is correctly placed. Ironically the only French tanks correctly placed until the Leclerc's and totally just coincidently the most enjoyable part before immediate suffering again at the now egregiously overbr'd AMX B2 series. @@crazyadam9281
AAAAAAAAA the cutest tank in war thunder, I miss you so much. Innded it was one of my favorities, but during studies I can't let myself to play this game, but I like to watch like PhlyDaily and Spokeston are playing. I myself managed to destroy 7 tanks with AML-90 while protecting one point on the map in few minutes. This tank is propably not only the cutest french tank but also the most efective. it is quaranted good fun, when you use its small size, speed and heat shells. this tank is so much memeable, fact where I managed to destroy my tires, well anywhere, any fence or rock can do it. it is so light that any explosion wave will push it.
Awesome ! It's your video from 2018 with ARL-44 that i found randomly that made me want to try war thunder, and then 2020 with AML-90 that made me want to start playing RB and helped me to improve with light tanks a lot by not shooting everytime i see a target but waiting the right moments. Im sure i will enjoy this video.
If you want another 4-wheeler with a 90mm, our own Eland 90 (repping South Africa here) does the same thing in the Brit tree! (Don't mind the solid shot, it's not that big of a deal...)
I don’t know if you’ve already done it but I’d love to see the Leopard 1A5NO in the Swedish tech tree. I absolutely love it and would love to see you driving it.
I'm gonna try not to simp of Phly's skills but i will. This man deserves an award directly from Gaijin. The amount of knowledge he has about this game is amazing. From ammunition types, to where to shoot a target, right thorough to the historical information etc. etc. etc. This man knows it all, I've been watching phly for years and it still amazes me regarding how he plays. His map knowledge is amazing, his in game skills are unmatched by anyone else, his situational awareness is top notch and his deep understanding of every single mechanic in the game is unreal. He is just so efficient and effective to the point where it would be impossible for him not to enjoy the game. he truly has committed his life to this game which is why he has every right to be toxic lol and deserves an AIDS award🤣🤣🤣. Keep up the great work Phly 😁
Seeing how an armored car with heatfs can decimate more than 300 mm of armor, there is no question why after that tanks just strapped tons of era squares on their tanks 😂
I have a bit of a grudge against that little bugger, along with several other tanks in the game. Sneaky little thing with a good gun. I do wonder how it compares to the Eland 90 though.
Practically the same vehicle, Eland just gets a Browning with limited vertical traverse instead of the French Machinegun and IIRC it loads more 90mm ammo. But that's about it really.
Day 527: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
Me whenever I play War Thunder - Peek around the corner at spawn with my heavy tank and get blasted instantly Phly whenever he plays war thunder - Joy rides through half the map without being spotted in, what is essentially a Willys Jeep with a cannon, as he randomly clicks here and there and kills ten tanks.
i just realized today that i haven't had one of your videos pop up in about since my son was born. still refuse to play war thunder, glad i came back, phly keep being phly. i will be catching back up. used to watch every video. happy to have a back catalog.
"Let's put a tiny, 80-horsepower engine in a 7-ton combat vehicle." South African engineers: YES This is probably the only downside to this vehicle. there is no strength to go up a steep hill
IRL in the 70s/80s, the AML90s were a real cancer for the Libyan T-55s, the turrets of the T-55s simply did not turn fast enough to follow an AML launched at "full speed". In my regiment they called them the 2CV Citroën, but with a big gun.😁
Bro, did you take out the RAM sticks one at a time to see if maybe its the RAM causing this? also did you try to stress test the rig? It can show you what's getting loose
It's always a pleasure to see you play some french tanks 👌🟦⬜🟥 I would suggest to try to play the T30 as a derp gun : it has a similar caliber, the HE shell has a similar explosive mass, than other derp guns at its BR If you do so, maybe I could try to learn you how to correctly say "Char de 25 tonnes Batignolles-Chatillon" ;)

Started watching you again religiously about 2 months ago. Videos have really helped my tank game out a lot keep up the videos.
I'd love to see a team game with Odd, Spookston and Benny with this vehicle... the chat will be cool.

If you are driving an armored jeep with a turret slapped on it and someone drops a bomb on your hood, you are done.
Ten ground targets destroyed? Damn Phly, either that vehicle is that broken or you've been getting good.

Pourquoi pas les deux?
Waarom niet allebei?

Phly in a courtroom:
It's dry here- There's a puddle. You could definitely plant rice here- that's how not dry it is, your honor.

4:59 😂😂😂😂😂😂 yesss more memes like that I was geekin
Fun fact:you can see this little goblin at 10.0 too.sometimes in that br a Aml 90 or Eland will appear in the br
Beautiful! Looks like you made it look easy AGAIN !!! I still have to try this out anyway…

Man gets in a toxic tank and immediately becomes a goblin
Now that phly posted this, this tank will NOW be everywhere
Fly is going absolutely goblin mode in today's episode lmao
I’d love to see phly daily use the Mirage 2000-5F doing some CAS.
The HEAT flinging rat tank is truly a fun tank to play if you use it right
