The AMX-13-90 is a modernized version of the well-known AMX-13 light tank that received a significant upgrade to firepower during the 1960s. In War Thunder, the AMX-13-90 paves the way for French tankers to get access to some of their most advanced tech available at the higher ranks. Let’s take a closer look what the AMX-13-90 has to offer!
During the ‘50s and ‘60s, the AMX-13 light tank was considered to have underwhelming firepower when compared to certain other tanks fielded by other nations. To remedy this, several modernization and upgrade efforts were launched which focused primarily on improving the killing potential of the AMX-13. Some AMX-13s were equipped with different types of ATGMs, whilst others, like the AMX-13-90, received a larger caliber cannon with improved ballistic properties. In case of the AMX-13-90, the tank received, as the name already suggests, a 90mm CN 90 F3 cannon, which boasted increased penetrating power and allowed the AMX-13 to engage targets at longer distances too.
In War Thunder, the AMX-13-90 is one of the first vehicles tank commanders progressing through the French ground forces tree will be able to get their hands on at rank V. The AMX-13-90 offers players the known package of excellent mobility, low visibility and thanks to the new 90mm cannon, enhanced firepower as well. Whereas with previous models, performing flanking maneuvers to engage your opponent was essentially the core tactic which commanders had to employ in order to achieve optimal performance, the AMX-13-90 now also allows you to directly support your allies in head-on engagements if you so desire. The 90mm cannon, firing chemical rounds, is more than powerful enough to punch through most heavily armored vehicles from the front at the battle rating on which the AMX-13-90 currently resides. Whilst head-on attacks are an option with the AMX-13-90, it’s still recommended to take advantage of the vehicle’s high mobility and low profile to exploit holes within the enemy’s defences, and not to rely much on your thin armor plating.
Overall, the AMX-13-90 continues the French light tank line and paves the way for players to rank VI, whilst offering more tactical options thanks to not only its upgrades to firepower, but also the retention of accustomed qualities like mobility and low visibility. For fans of fast, lightly armored vehicles, the AMX-13-90 is simply a must-have.

Will this tank eventually get access to AP rounds? HEAT is fun and all, but nothing beats slapping enemy armour with a kinetic penetrator flying at Mach 4.5.
Considering it's been a year since the release of Japanese tanks and only one new shell type has been added for them, I wouldn't hold my breath.
This tank is nothing special, far worse than the amx at 6.0. Maybe if the HEATFS was not soiled in the last few updated this tank would be pretty good, but as of right now it is just a tank with no armor with mediocre mobility and awful ammo. The reload is nice, but not good enough to compensate. Quit nerfing everything in the game already.
"Advantage of the vehicle’s high mobility" Sir_Palps yep i agree with you. I think they should specify somewhere that mobility is ONLY turning in this case ,but even that is just average-good. It's speed sucks, i laugh sometime when my tiger 2 drives by it . When you stop and try to aim it acts like a jigsaw and you have to wait about 7-8 sec before you can aim and shoot. That HEATFS is the worst. Have to shoot a tank atleast 3+ times to kill it ,cause shooting ammo magically doesn't work 70%.
gaijin, whos idea was it to make the french fight the americans and british with germans in your "realistic battles" its pretty much the worst MM ever
Why did the french fight the americans and the british irl in north africa then? Remember france was forced to ally with germany from 1940 to 1943
Omega7b, No, they weren't. After the Armistice, Vichy France was neutral. They did not launch any attack against any ennemy, nor supported any Axis army, aside from forced enlistments in Alsace-Lorraine and volunteers joining as Wehrmarcht soldiers. What they did however, is defend themselves against Allied attacks. Mers El Kebir, Dakar... those were attacks without proper declaration of war, no matter the "warnings".
it uses HEATFS ... its not a good tank ... maybe fix the types of projectiles and nerf the APHE to a realistic level?
APHE is at normal levels, irl the crew usually abandoned a tank after a penetration which would make for bad gameplay, thus you have to knock out the entire crew instead of just get a penetrating shot. this is why ap was used by britain, it did similar results, was cheaper to make, and had better armor pen in general.
Omega7b, either have all of the shells realistic or buff every shell to an unrealistic way ... btw the APHE is not performing as it was IRL
