Tjay Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I guess others would have asked why another vehicle was chosen instead of the AMX-13. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi i was just wondering why the amx13 was chosen for the new update instead of another vehicle... You could just as well ask why any vehicle gets chosen over another? I don't think that there is a sensible answer possible as long as the discussion is based on your unspoken assertion that it is somehow a zero-sum game where the addition of a specific vehicle must inevitably mean the loss of some other. To the extent that any choice means to give preference to one thing over another this assertion isn't entirely wrong, but it's misleading; at the very least you'd need to point out that there is a causal relationship bertween the addition of the AMX-13 and the omission of a certain vehicle which would otherwise surely have been added. To the best of my knowledge I can honestly say that there never was such a competition. That said, possible answers are: Vehicles get added because we can The AMX-13 ties in with another feature that will be revealed later Some in the team thought it would be a nice idea Because the AMX looks funky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSnake79 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 From wiki:The AMX-13 is a French light tank produced from 1953 to 1985. It served with the French Army and was exported to over twenty-five other nations.I'd say that's reason enough to add it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Because the AMX looks funkyThis is the only criteria that matters.:biggrin:And the 75mm Gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The AMX-13 ties in with another feature that will be revealed laterAI that can curse the design of the AMX-13 after getting killed by small arms fire while standing outside the tank reloading the main gun? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 My thoughts are any addition is a good one.The only thing that puzzles me a little is why the 75 mm version and not the 90 or 105.It would be great if the AMX 30B is in the update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COS ITS 75MM NUMBNUTS!!! :biggrin: How many AFVs in SB Pro PE have a 75mm gun? (Apart from the BMP-1, which cannot hit anything that is not directly in front of and within 300m, so it doesn't really count.) None. (Plus this gun is pretty much a Chinese copy of the Panther gun) (And its the same calibre as a NOD Light Tank ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggydog Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I just love getting to grips with any vehicle, either totally new or one im not familiar with. Like my recent adventures with ASLAV's and Bushmasters. great fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Colossus Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Interesting, I wonder what this new feature that it ties in with could possibly be...All of them? It ties into the new release.Ssnake just laid out the possibilities of why a certain vehicle is included, a new feature is just one possibility for any of them. Another possibility is that people merely wanted it in there for the sake of having a Cold War relic in there, or for nostalgic or aesthetic reasons, just like how some other vehicles got in there even though no military customers requested them.I don't think you should necessarily expect a new feature that comes along with it, it's just something that's nice to have in and of itself. It also shows that eSim does care enough about its subject matter to go the extra distance and include more content that isn't necessarily tied in with its military customers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again when u say that "maybe" some other stuff will be implemented to supplement it,then it makes sense to me... What happens with the DCS world series,that all of the sudden they release a second world war turbo prop plane in a modern jet combat simulator,is for me somewhat confusing,like if youre gonne create missions with flankers intercepting Mustangs or something,anyhow the more vehicles the better. And if the are of no use to create "realistic" missions they are great for on the target range... Just my thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It saw a lot of combat with the Israelis. In addition to any of the other reasons outlined, perhaps it's there as OPFOR for something that saw action against them (and to complement the existing Centurion / Sh'ot)? Just thinking out loud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I think the AMX can be, in earlier cold war scenario's, an excellent little recon tank. I believe the Dutch used the AMX 105mm for mainly recon and some anti-tank. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
