Arriving in the high tiers of the French ground forces tree as part of the next major update, the second variant of the AMX-32 - a further development of the renowned AMX-30 MBT - will soon make its way into War Thunder ground battles!

AMX-32 (105), main battle tank, France, rank VI.

Features:

• Fast-firing 105 mm cannon
• Thermal vision
• Gun stabilizer

• 20 mm coaxial cannon
• Mediocre protection

The AMX-32 (105) is the second of the two variants of the AMX-32 making its appearance in War Thunder as part of the next major update. Arriving as a reinforcement to the high tiers of the French ground forces tree, the AMX-32 (105) possesses near identical characteristics to its already well-familiar sibling with the only exception being its armament. Let’s take a closer look!

Unlike the original AMX-32 which veteran French tankers have already had plenty of time to get accustomed to, the AMX-32 (105) comes equipped with, as the name already suggests, a 105 mm main gun unlike the 120 mm cannon found on the existing variant. As a result, tank commanders will be faced with a tradeoff: is it preferable to have more raw stopping power in the form of a larger caliber gun or is a faster rate of fire more important to win a gun duel? Either way, French tankers will now have both options available to them and can therefore always pick the most suitable version of the AMX-32 for the job at hand.

While the two vehicles distinguish themselves from each other in their armament, the remaining specifications remain virtually unchanged. The new AMX-32 (105) inherits the same general layout, powerplant and armor scheme as its predecessor including all of its handy features such as gun stabilization, thermal vision and laser rangefinding while also maintaining a decent level of mobility for a rank VI MBT. Just be sure to avoid direct exposure to enemy fire as the AMX-32’s armor will often not be sufficient enough to stop potent armor-piercing rounds used in high-rank battles.

The AMX-32 (105) will soon be available to all tankers at the top ranks of the French ground forces tree as a new high tier main battle tank. In the meantime, be sure to keep a close watch on our news as we continue unveiling other exciting new additions and features awaiting you in the next major update. Until then, happy hunting tankers!
