The AMX-13 SS.11 is a modernized version of the well-known AMX-13 light tank developed in the late 1940s. This Cold War version of the tank was retrofitted with ATGMs to complement its 75mm cannon, in an effort to boost the vehicle’s effectiveness against hostile armour. Be on the lookout for this small, but very deadly French predator, coming soon with War Thunder’s update 1.75 "La Résistance"!
Initial development of the AMX-13 began after WW2 ended. In 1946, the French army needed a new fighting vehicle to support paratrooper units. This new vehicle needed to be fast and lightweight with a maximum weight of 13 tons.The contract was awarded to the state-owned Atelier de Construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux (AMX) company, which was located close to Paris. AMX was able to quickly design the new vehicle and build the first prototypes in just 3 years.After successfully blazing through initial trials, AMX started producing the AMX-13 in the early 1950s. Production continued well into the 1980s as the aging AMX-13 was continually modernized, modified, and upgraded.The AMX-13 SS.11 is a modernized version of the AMX-13 developed during the Cold War. By 1962, the AMX-13’s standard 75mm cannon had become less effective against the armour of contemporary tanks, some of which had begun using composite armour.
In 1962, the French military high command approved modernization work for the AMX-13 to upgrade and increase the AMX-13’s firepower. However, while increasing firepower was the primary goal, the French high command didn’t want to exceed the AMX-13’s weight. This limited options and ruled out major upgrades, so the engineers decided to mount four SS.11 first generation ATGM launchers to the front of the turret.The changes were incremental but achieved the desired effect. Thanks to the ATGMs, the AMX-13 could now effectively engage targets up to 3km away and penetrate up to 600mm of steel armour—something previously impossible for the 75mm cannon alone.The AMX-13 SS.11 joined the ranks of the French army in the 1960s and continued to serve for well over two decades.
Tankers patiently waiting for the French ground forces to arrive in War Thunder can look forward to the AMX-13’s arrival, which will bring several new and distinctively French features to the game.One such feature is the AMX-13’s oscillating turret. Oscillating turrets consist of an upper and lower part and enabled the cannon to elevate by tilting the entire top of the turret, whereas the lower part connected to the turret ring and enabled horizontal movement. This design provided multiple advantages, including high gun placement, smaller turret size, and a simpler, more reliable autoloader mechanism.On the AMX-13, the turret houses an auto-loaded 75mm cannon—a tank equivalent of a “6-shooter” because it can fire six shots in rapid succession before one of its two six-round drum magazines has to be reloaded. Only a handful of French post-and Cold War tank designs were equipped with this feature.Unfortunately, once the magazines have been spent, the crew of the AMX-13 had to withdraw from the battlefield, exit the vehicle, and manually reload the autoloading mechanism. (In War Thunder, this is just simulated through a lengthy reload time.)
In addition to the 75mm cannon, the ATGMs on the AMX-13 SS.11 can strike distant, heavily armoured targets, which makes them an excellent complement to the rapid-fire 75mm “6-shooter”.But don’t let the firepower go to your head. The AMX-13 SS.11 is still a light tank with relatively light armour that is only 10-40mm thick—and unlikely to stop anything larger than shrapnel and low-calibre machine gun fire.In addition, despite being a relatively small tank, the AMX-13 SS.11 requires a crew of three (driver, commander and gunner), and two of those crew members ride in the turret. A well-placed shot to the turret can quickly eliminate the AMX-13’s combat effectiveness.
Use the AMX-13’s speed and maneuverability to strike hard, fast, and avoid enemy fire. With a maximum top speed of 65 km/h and relatively low ground pressure, the AMX-13 SS.11 can take advantageous positions faster than other vehicles, which makes it a great ambush predator.

When Japan tank tech tree came out. There was a bundle price for both tanks. So if you bought it they was a bit cheaper than buying both tank packs separately. Will you do the same for French? And i hope we will get the M24 Chaffee in French TT/Prem tree. And a M24 Chaffee with AMX 13 turret in the tech tree :)
I wanna ask,shall we get Camo Net as “Foliage”.Sometimes 3D bushes not enough to cover big vehicles,mostly it looks like its messed...
No you shan't, bushes are already annoying as they are
In the French aircraft, will we see the DB7, the French version of the American A20G-25 ? please.
We already have a premium/gift DB-7 in the British tech tree, but I agree; I want to see the DB-7 and D.521 in the proper tech tree as buyable premiums.
Guys...will these new vehicles have NEW gun sounds?
yes how many more devblogs today apart from the amx-13ss.11
Does it fire APHE shell or solid AP shot?
It won't have APHE since by the end of WW2 all of NATO had realised that APHE wasn't any more effective than solid AP while also being less reliable. Gaijin unfortunately never got this memo though.
i think it can fire HPHECBC, the 75mm canon is a modification of the KwK 42 (panther)
Now will the update drop before the new year or after...
That's the question!
obviously before the new year.
Looks pretty hot!! Just a side question, is armor fatigue still being developed ?
Hopefully we'll see the AMX-13-90
Almost certain you'll see the 75, the 90 and the 105 versions
With the addition of several new autoloader cannon wielding tanks will we finally have the option to reload before every shot in the magazine or clip has been fired?
In the early variants, you would fire the full clip before reloading, I guess we'll see.
