The special modification AMX-30 ACRA of the AMX-30, is a French rank VI tank equipped with a unique smooth bore gun capable of launching laser guided ACRA missles.
AMX-30 ACRA, medium tank, France, VI rank.
Pros
- Excellent ACRA guided missiles
- Decent mobility
Cons
- Poor protection
The ACRA (Anti-Char Rapide Autopropulsé) research and development program launched in France in 1961 and designed as a supersonic anti-tank laser-guided missile, which was to be equipped in any of the tanks in service with the French armed forces, or one of those under development at the time. By the final stage of testing the laser guidance system, (which was the first of its kind in the world), state funding for the program was suspended due to high associated costs. Work, however, was continued by GIAT at its own expense, which hoped it would receive government orders in the future. Engineers chose the AMX-30 as a platform to carry the missile. The relevant turret equipment included a new smoothbore tank gun-launcher, a sight, and a guidance device. Tests for the new complex anti-tank targeting equipment were successfully completed by 1974, though it was never accepted and placed in service. The main reason being the prohibitive associated costs of the targeting equipment in the missiles, as well as the inability to use the guided missiles without a tank gun. Preference was instead given to the HOT ATGM system which, by then, was in the final stages of testing.
The French government may not have agreed to pay the required 1,000,000 francs for the guidance complex and 30,000 for each missile, but in War Thunder, players will be able to afford these luxuries much more easily! The AMX-30 ACRA is arriving in War Thunder with update 1.93 as one of the rank VI tanks in the French tech tree. The tank is equipped with a unique cannon launcher, a 142 mm smoothbore gun, developed under the ACRA program. Players get two types of ammunition to choose from - a HE fragmentation round, and the ACRA ATGM itself, capable of penetrating up to 800 mm of armour. Munitions tests showed that the laser was able to guide the missile toward targets at distances of more than 3 km, at supersonic speed. The turret’s frontal section is amended to fit a new sight and guidance device, and as for the remaining aspects - the protection, crew, mobility and maximum speed - the new tank shares components with the AMX-30 (1972) already familiar to French tank enthusiasts.
We have recreated the AMX-30 ACRA for the game with minor differences from photos of the prototype. In particular, some elements correspond to serially produced tanks, and equipment necessary for guided missiles to fully function has been added
The AMX-30 ACRA, with regard to gameplay, competes with the American M551 “Sheridan” in that it is very dynamic ATGM carrier with excellent missile firepower. Among the advantages mentioned, first of all the guided missile itself has very competitive armor penetration, speed and range. The ATGMs rate of fire is approximately four missiles per minute, which is very good. Another advantage is the good, but not outstanding dynamic qualities. Disadvantages include the lack of any decent protection that are inherited from rank V tanks. It is capable of protection from bullets, fragments and shells from small-calibre guns, but nothing more.The AMX-30 ACRA has no anti-aircraft rapid fire gun, and the machine gun on the commander's cupola is of a rifle calibre.
In short, the AMX-30 ACRA is a good and interesting tank of rank VI, with its pros and cons. It feels fine even in a setup with the Leclerc MBT, and its feels completely comfortable in any battles of the V-VI ranks. Meet the new high tier French vehicle in the War Thunder update 1.93 “Shark Attack”!

So when are we going to get a Dev blog on the British F4 phantom ll ?
lets hope its more useful then the M60A2 and M551, they been dead for awhile now
or you could just add the English electric lightening to the British tree
I'm happy of this addition, but something looks off, when I look at photos of the prototype at Saumur museum, there isn't the optical sights of the AMX 30 B, or here I see it, tell me if I'm wrong but the model is incorrect.
Do you mean the range finder on each sides of the turret ? If so you are right, something's off. Maybe a different prototype.
UrDidact, Yes I meant that, forgot how to say it in English haha, I'm not sure it was on different prototype, all photos visible on internet about this tank don't have this range finder.
I can tell you that a lot more people are going to be banning American desert after they get this thing!
So, why is this in the normal tree instead of the more conventional amx-30 super? I'm all for more free tanks in the tree, but now you're selling power, instead of selling weird and interesting variants that are more marginal in gameplay viability. Besides that, the claim that it will be comfortable in a lineup is highly dubitable if it doesn't have a stabilizer, especially because it fires a heat missile against tanks that will defeat chemical rounds like that 9 times out of 10.
Missing a word there: "in a lineup with the Leclerc"
because AMX 30 ACRA is a french prototype built and tested. It was cancelled because of the really expensive cost of missiles and specific equipements required. The only remaining tank is keep at Saumur museum.. AMX Super is a licenced German project to try to improve AMX 30 design, also cancelled shortly after testing.
What about World War Two? There are all these new tanks and helicopters, which are cool, don't get me wrong, but I would like to see some very important aircraft like the B-26 marauder and the P-51B in the game.
C'EST MAGNIFIQUE!
Yes! Another target that goes "Pop!" when you hit it just like Rockem Sockem Robots! KA-BOOM!
Can we know if the ACRA will come with ATGM stock, or will we be saddled with unguided HE rocket ammo from the start?
