This is a premium version of the popular French tank. The export version has received several upgrades, including... a long-awaited stabilizer!
Briefly: The Super AMX-30 is an upgraded export version of the serial AMX-30B with a gun stabilizer, side skirts, and a more powerful engine.
During the second half of the 80s, a group of companies in West Germany developed an extensive program to modernize certain outdated tanks, including the French AMX-30B. A number of improvements were made to the French tank in order to enhance its firepower, increase its dynamic characteristics, and (optionally) enhance its armour to a certain extent.
The tank’s firing potential was improved thanks to the installation of a MOLF fire control system with a stabilized sight and a stabilizer for the main gun. The tank’s mobility was enhanced with a new 850-horsepower diesel engine, a German automatic transmission, and new torsion bars and hydraulic shock absorbers. The new tank was demonstrated to the public under the name “Super AMX-30” during testing in Saudi Arabia, but no buyers were found for the upgraded French tank, and only one Super AMX-30 was ever made.
Super AMX-30. MBT, France, rank VI. Premium (part of a pack)
pros:
- Stabilizer
- Premium bonuses
- More powerful engine
cons:
- Poor armour
- No 20mm cannon
Fun fact: a method similar to the AMX-30’s could have been used to upgrade such tanks as the M41 Walker Bulldog, M48 Patton, M60A1, and even the T-62.
What does the Super AMX-30 have to offer fans of the French tank line in War Thunder? First of all, it’s got the long-awaited gun stabilizer. It realizes the full offensive potential of the AMX-30 by making it possible to fire at low and medium speeds. The new engine is more responsive, which generally increases the tank’s capabilities in duels and firefights from cover. One advantage for many players is the number of smoke grenades – the German engineers rejigged the entire smokescreen system, and the number of grenade launchers and grenades is now greater. The Super AMX-30 also has side skirts, which is nice too – they provide additional defence against HEAT shells.

When it comes to the tank’s disadvantages, we should mention that the vehicle’s armour is insufficient – almost all shots fired by other tanks in its class are a threat to it, which is a problem for the entire series. For tank commanders who already have experience using the AMX-30 in battle, this should be a familiar feature. The main thing is to try not to take damage at all. The Super AMX-30’s improved dynamics and excellent stabilizer help the tank roll out from behind cover, fire, and take cover again to reload, all without having to stop. Another important factor is that, as in certain other modifications of the AMX-30, the 20mm cannon has been replaced by a 12.7mm machine gun, which means that a main gun shot will probably be required to destroy light armoured vehicles.
Overall, the Super AMX-30 is now very similar to the Leopard A1A1 series in terms of gameplay, whereas the premium vehicle’s bonuses will help you research any French tank from ranks I-VII more quickly and allow you to earn more Silver Lions in battle.
Look for the Super AMX-30 in our store, stay tuned to the Developer Diary, and join us as we look forward to the big new update: War Thunder 1.89. It’s coming soon!

Could we just get a proper FCS on our regular AMX-30s?
No, because regular AMX-30s didn't have them
Shepard_FR, The C2 did
Uhhh, I think you meant Rank VI premium? Right?
Oh, yes. The tank is rank VI. :x
Ouiche, Any Japanese tech tree tanks this patch?
I really would've like the AMX Super 30 instead, it had the 120mm, was gyro stabilized, and actually existed. I hope this means we're getting the AMX Super 30 in the main tree.. right!??
This one existed, one was made for the Saudi Arabia trial (i think it's in the french tank museum in Saumure now, there are GIAT documentation and so on)
Ouiche, Way to confirm it existed! You're the best Ouiche
one thing to say: useless... it's just a b2 with a stab and a new engine but with no 20mm. For a tier VI premium for france the minimum expected for a premium was an amx-32. The leo a1a1 will do the same as the amx-30 super but better. For the most disappointed to get a german modified tank which will be the worst tier VI premium in my opinion. I saw it during the stream, and it's just not acceptable as a tier VI premium for france especially compared to the others tier VI preiums.
Agreed. People have been asking for the AMX-32 since before the AMX-40 was added to the game. They just keep ignoring.
For the love of god don't force people to rain shekels on you just to get access to an actual French 8.7 tank. (and no the BRENUS is not an 8.7 tank it should be 8.3 tops with the B2 at 8.0) I really don't mind you adding premiums but there needs to be something in the tech tree first. (such as how America has the MBT-70, Germany with the normal A1A1, and Italy with the OF.40 mk.2)
I'm pretty sure what you are doing with the Italian M60 is illegal.
Hey guys, I know where the Italian M60's stabilizer went! (Jokes, I'm making jokes)
This is a good premium for France no doubt. As a French tree fun I am happy with this really Super AMX anyways. But remove the comment section from the Italian premium was a record breaking poor move even from you guys! (I mean you as 'THE' most unethical game developer company I ever seen.) You just under-flew and outdid yourself. Again!!! I don't blame the developer team but the horrible management! PR and actual developers do what humanly possible and I appreciate it.
Lol, figures. Now that I had to grind the Brenus and Amx-40 the hard way, still, thnx gaijoob. Glad to see France get all this love.
What's the Bedouin Decal look like?
Dozer15, Take a guess. It's a camel who is about to get his balls smashed by two bricks.
Any love for US jets this update?
