AMX 13 (FL11) - Tank Review - World of Tanks 

The Garage slot is certainly going to be an extreme contender for the best tank in the game.

I'll say that when Wargaming introduced the Battle pass to World of tanks, all tier 5 premium tanks seemed to be devalued, like the better priority onwards was to collect tier 6 premiums because they can grind battle pass points and earn the rewards, while also still make credits and experience, but with tier 5, it's a tier where you wouldn't want to deal with low tier seal cubbers in their 3 marked LeFH and overly maxed Light and Tank destroyers because of their toxicity

I think WG forgot the autoloader. It would be balanced with one.

The only reason to play tier 5 is to fulfill the daily mission to be top player in terms of experience. Jump into Churchill III, don't suck too much and you have it done. Of course, doing it on tier 6-10 would give BP points, but would also take more time - if your time is limited, Churchill III is your best friend

One benefit of this tank is that it allowed you to make a video that indirectly helped me understand better when to take Off Road Driving! So, thanks for that at least! Will sell it to fund my Object 257 fund.

0:55 ah yes the FL 10

I still remember that "we give you a free tank slot" video, it still applies.

You can put crew inside to not buy bunks. 😅

I gave it a spin yesterday, I was shocked, even with a turbo, this thing is as agile as a moose in a swamp. btw calling the T14 good is quite a stretch, its workable but you have to carry a lot of gold for the potatogun

Wow, I've been thinking about how to make this tank work. Now I realized. I should just play the ELC bis...

I look forward to this in Quacky's year end review. That slot is certainly balanced with all the other slots.

the AMX 13 FL 11 has damage per hour.

If you are planning on buying lootboxes I'd say keep this tank, that way you get some gold out of it. I'm 100% sure it will be put in those boxes if not this Christmas then the next made up money grab event.

A few years ago i got the M10 RBFM as a present from a event. I have better camo (47+% when stationary/33% while moving), 522m of view range and 2479 dpm with 130mm pen with standard rounds. This is a monster tier5 comparing to this AMX. My empty garage slots increasing from 180 to 181 now....

QB made it through 10 games with this crapper. That’s 7 more than me. 🤣🤣. Rock on Tankers 🤘😎

Had an existing super-crew from my EBR 105 to slap in it, seemed quite serviceable as a scout that happens to have decent pen on its gun.

Can tier Vs be traded during the trade in event?

To make this tank fun they could have given it a 2 round autoloader with the same bad dpm, 2 second intraclip and better accuracy. Would have at least made the bad dpm worth it.

AMX 13 FL 11 - "When I grow up, I want to be a Dalek"

Kinda like what they gave us on their 10th birthday, a tank that was literally crowned the worst tanks ever built, the valiant. "Nice gift"

Just curious when will u upload the 10k KPZ game u had

I only played one game so far. Wasn't amazed by it's mobility, but it was usable on D-Day-Map. I actually finished 1rst in XP, doing a combined of a little over 2k (1.1k damage, 1k spotting, about). It can't be used like the AMX ELC by any means and while they look slightly similar, I wouldn't even try to compare them. I'd rather drive it a little like a Russian light, but with some advantages of a French. Like, I was sidehugging an O-I. But it really does feel underwhelming when taking down artys and having to fire 3 times to finish them off...

Is there anything that could be done to unused garage slots? I have over a hundred, and I cannot even delete them.

Hi Quicky. Small correction. The first two Campaigns StugIV & T28 HTC can be completed at Tier 4 & 5 Point taken tho about selling for credits & slot. Cheers

Funny I couldn't put my tier 8 or 9 amx crews in this tank, they remained red and the stats of the tank for 5x crew didn't go up like a normal premium. I had to use a few french books on the already 100% crew it came with to make it work. Very weird.

hey QB can we get a master class on the jagdpanzer e-100?

Sometimes going in knowing you're the underdog and pulling out a good game is fun.

30 points bond equipment speed Or shell feed? When you get all those free points

I actually managed to do Tank Ace with this

WG didn't want to give the sweaty French light players another seal clubber extreme like the AMR 35. This tank is bad, but I'll still keep it around for some extra crew training.

Are yoy still able to purchase this vehicle on Pc?

great vid info, i sold mine without playing it and i will use the 300K credits for the next Credit discounts on equipment and consumables event on the 16th

Try Improved Rotation Mechanism, Additional Grousers and Coated Optics. Still horrible dpm but a lot more nimble. I had fun games with this thing, especially in tier 7. 1.4 k dmg and 2k assist (spot)... very nice. 😉

Gonna be fun for Circon to have to 3-mark this lol

Finally I use octane to keep spotting build instead of using turbo...

As someone who plays wot and warthunder it’s always crazy to see how much better the bad tanks of this game are in warthunder

actualy with a turbo on it worka pretty well

I love how you just decided to ignore the A-20 with it's like 57 lower DPM than the AMX 13 FL 11

I think once you kit it out etc it'll be a *decent* tank if played carefully, but other then that I feel they;re are better options at T5 :/

I've got a completely unused, brand-spanking new AMX 13 F11 with nothing on the clock. It's going for the bargain price of 5000 gold. Grab it before someone else does!

It’s a gift, yes, but it’s like a kid getting socks at Christmas. Thanks, but no thanks

is this the hard mode tank?

Free premium tanks being underpower is nice. Like you get your silly game and nearly never lose money, but also dont get toxic

QB: "It's a nice fun gift....(mumbles) not fun" 😉

"it's a bit sus" *qb dies inside* "suspect"

LOL you mention 3 mark... Got mine last night after work... got today off... and starting the grind for the 3 mark...

Love the title had be laughing big time!

I got lucky and aced the tank on my 3rd game, now I don't have to play it ever again, this tank would need either a mobility or DPM buff

I'm honestly delighted to see any new French LT in the game since they are my favorite, even better if it's free. This thing is really sluggish though and I still prefer my favorite tank in the game at a tier higher - the AMX 12 t aka baby batchat LT. Does anyone know when or if the Char mle 75 will be available outside of gambling? That one seems a bit more interesting.

me looking at the tier 8 premium elc also wondering why that tank has 1100 dpm

Thanks, nice of WG to actually give us something we didn't have to grind forever to get.

i got the tank and had probably my best game in a light since i started playing so that made me rather happy

I'll keep it in the hope that WG buff it in the future. My second best crew fits perfectly in it.

For some reason I can't get myself to sell low-tier premium tanks like this. I'd rather have them collect dust in my garage than not having them at all. Weird, and stupid, I know.

I had fun it as a passive scout.

A-20 looked like it had lower DPM. Was I seeing things?

Its average I feel, i managed to snipe across map. Once you have a good crew (amx 13 105) it performs fairly well.

So its just a marriage between AMX 13 hull and ELC bis turret with 90mm gun?

I'm keeping it! Just in case they recycle it during Christmas

10 months later and I re-ran into this review. I've played both this and the AMX ELC bis (with the 75mm) quite a bit -- 34 and 102 battles recorded, respectively -- and I wanted to comment on both from a more statistically mature point of view. Average position on team xp: ELC 4.51 (excellent), FL 11 5.41 (very good) Average experience per battle: ELC 392, FL 11 312 (437 with its 40% premium xp bonus) Average credits per battle: ELC 6.87k, FL 11 8.17k (premium bonus included) On xp missions and for earning credits it's better to play the FL 11, but to do better in general -- especially when chasing Battle Pass points -- it's better to play the ELC. One stat I haven't seen talked about is the FL 11's special ammo pen, which is 148mm, better than the ELC's by 15%, and in fact the second best of any Tier V light (after the M7 with the 6-pdr gun). Generally the FL 11 is better at taking on enemy heavies. With better aim time, accuracy, and pen the FL 11 is a better sniper but much better concealment makes the ELC a better passive scout; the differences in concealment strongly defines which roles I use each tank for. With twice the frontal hull armor and about 80% more mass the FL 11 is much better in the ram. Generally if presented with a good ram opportunity the FL 11 should ram an ELC; an ELC should avoid it. The FL 11 has three crew members, versus just two for the ELC: less chance of the whole crew getting knocked out. Statistically the ELC's armor has actually performed better for me than the FL 11's armor: 11.38 blocked vs. 5.91. Apparently all those armor plate angles on the ELC help it deflect rounds a bit better. And of course the ELC can be played as a tank destroyer with the 90mm main gun: two tanks for the price of one. Amongst the seven Tier V lights I've played the AMX 13 (FL 11) is right in the middle of the pack when it comes to average position on team xp. I enjoy it, I'm glad I didn't sell it.

The current ELC AMX was already quite bad. But they made a tank that was even worse. Well done, Wargaming.

looks like they nerfed the ELC bis a second time xD

It’s a light tank, not necessarily a scout. It’s a medium-grade sniper that can spot for itself in the body of a light tank, lol.

Thumbs up just for the title. Way to go.

I like this lil guy, get to get another 2x for my 105 crew and I like the sillyness of low tier.

Good and accurate review. Found exactly all the same drawbacks/conclusions. Definite turd in comparison to just plain tech tree tanks at tier 5.

Absolutely top-notch caption haha

the description fits the tank. 🤪

The pen is btw the 2nd highest standard pen on a tier 5 light tank, 108mm is great.

It's like that free T-34 they gave everyone and it was just a joke of a tank, most inaccurate tank I've ever played in in this game, and I suffered through grinding the M3 Lee back in the day.

I think Quicky is having a case of the 'Jingles Effect'. Its the AMX 13 FL 11, bu he keeps calling it the FL 10......

I feel the same way when I get another pair of socks :) Yeeeeah, thx.

KV-2 fodder and su-130 Y too if you load gold

I'll keep it (as I never sell premium tanks) but rarely play it particularly as you can't accumulate Battle Pass points apart from missions

Thanks WG for the credit boost before the sale!😂

This really is one of those tanks that need 6 equipment slots to be playable

thanks QB

Talking about free token tanks - T14 is a beast, though i would recommend it at 8/10 times

As someone who’s played this game since the beginning, these anniversary tanks consistently feel like a slap in the face by war gaming. What is the point of giving out a tank like this? The game is 13 years old for Christ sake

I have 200 spare garage slots..why can't I salvage them?

T5 can complete clan missions. T4 can do anniversary missions.

I really like to thank WG for the free tank. If it was a tier 6 i would keep it. But i just dont play lower. So sold it straight away

I must ask why do you call it FL 10 but it's name is FL 11? 🙂

Day 5 of asking QB to play the PZ7 because the lower plate is underrated.

ah yes, the free Garage Slot and free 300k credits, best thing to come out of this thing being added.

Tank is called FL11...keeps calling it FL10. Somebody is having a Jingles moment... :D

its a nice dust collection

I think this tank is good in packs. I've seen games with seven of these things on my team and when they all travel together, they can actually mosquito apart the enemy team really quickly. 3-4 of these is basically unbeatable on good terrain, because any enemy tank would have to play whack-em-all against 500 hp targets if they wanted to beat it. Also it's a better Tier 5 than the A-20 so I'm taking this any day over that. I don't think the guns on these things were designed for prolonged battles, but rather popping up from behind cover, quickly putting a shell in, and then disappearing while your teammates to the same. It's also good for firing at a tank when playing passive scout if your team is having trouble taking out a Matilda or something.

Shame I can't use my 200 free garage slots for the Assembly Shop

I did 1 battle in it, yeah it is not a fun tank, now it is resting in the garage without crew.

I think if wg gave it a 3 or 4 round autoloader with slightly better dpm then it would be balanced

why there are stuff you cant sell while you can buy it ? why premium tank you can not sell them for gold at least half price or 1/3 ? i have a lot of styles and garage slot and premium tanks i do not play anymore

yeah its reload is abysmal, 6 seconds for a light is pretty bad. but it has better pen then other tier 5 light tanks. im keepin it i like under dog tanks

The super hellcat and super chaffee are fun

Did 1500 damage in a game with this tank and i felt like a hero for that

Frankly this isn't really a gift since you have to complete missions to earn it. Past birthdays gave us really good gifts like the Super Hellcat and T50-2 and all you had to do was log into the game.

I achieved my first M and it was brutal. A decent combined of about 3k and 4 kills, iirc. It was rough though. I got one shot a lot by arty and other tanks. I guess I can’t complain too much for a free tank. I like this tank better than the free Lago and Sahariano(sp)

I have had it become a bit more speedy with grousers and a turbo, but you really lose the scouting part of the tank. I think full scout build is the best way to use it so far.

IF YOU GOT IT FREE IT'S A GOOD TRAINER TO SEE IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE MORE SCOUT TANKS

This after bothering to get 1 out of 3 marks on it. Is arguably one of the best passive scouts on tier 5 hands down. But at the same time one of the worst LT counter tanks on tier 5 along with the worst traction to get up to speed fast. But... It's still no A46.
