Inside The Tanks: The AMX 13: Part II - World of Tanks 

HaB22 Nice one ;). Since we are doing stereotypes: Why do french tanks have five reverse gears and one forward gear? --- The forward gear is there in case the enemy comes from behind. Richard Challenger must have forgotten to tell us that ;)

The cas calculator is that a joke or are u americain

george clark American? dude its a joke, didn't you notice the emojis?

The cas calculator I know its meant to be a joke but jokes are also meant to be funny.

hey, let the brits have their French jokes Just hope they never say it within earshot of a French soldier

I expect the mileage sucks, though. :d

If you can get the shells, yes

doesnt it cost like 5 times a lambo tho

@@daddyplankton5855 Not necessarily. You can buy CVRT family vehicles for under $100,000 and they're about the size of a Chrysler minivan.

john j The tanks in this Collection where Deactivated long ago, their arms unable to function, normally by shoving a steel rod into the chamber and welding it in place, then by destroying the firing mechanics inside the gun, other then that these vehicles are 100 percent operational, but the only tank i know of that still has a working gun and in civilian hands is in America, a M18 Hellcat to be precise.

Sadly he could not do that legally. Im sure he has tried and have ammo stored away somewhere though ;)

Redneck Fury and if you want to see it then hop on over to FPS Russia's channel, pretty sure he has a go 'round on it in one of his videos. Unless it is a government owned one, in which case don't mind me.

135Fenrir Yeah the guy from FPS Russia shot a car with a hellcat.

M8 the gun wouldn't he's in the UK yes you can own a tank but noway on earth would british law alound someone to own a tank with a working canon

Is it true that this tank is forbidden to fire sideways for fear of toppling over, especially for 105mm cannons? If yes, how about for 90mm?

@@juliuscajilog9371 hello, I do not know for sure... but I think that does no happen... that would be a very very bad characteristic in a real use scenario (combat), nevertheless I hadn´t seen any video shooting sideways.. (perhaps as such videos of amx-13's shooting... are rare...). If you got such a video please share the link :) !!

the AMX is still fighting!!!

@@juliuscajilog9371 sorry for this late-ish responce, to answer your question, yes. it is forbidden to fire the gun sideway's for 105 and in some cases 90mm AMX versions, but not for the AMX-13-75. i've had a chat with one of the old guy's on base (was back in 2004, i'm an ex-tanker from the Dutch army). and a bit of a small history lesson of what the old guy told me. the 105 amx was basically a scam by the french, it was first sold to the belgians and then to the dutch. but the belgians and dutch found out real fast that they would flip over because of the caliber of the gun. 90mm was not that big of a problem, but it would still flip over if the terrain was not favourable. so we tried to get our money back from the french, which failed because they are a asshats sometimes. so we sold them off to somewhere else. but the Dutch army got rid of all the Centurions and AMX tanks as soon as the leopard 2 was taken into service. again. i know your comment is 9 month's old and nobody has given you a straight answer yet. so here you are. have a good one lol edit: grammar

@@colindols4112 Wow...thank you so much for this invaluable information... Didn't know this...And thank you for the history tour...

There is one in the Cavelerie Museum at Amersfoort.

There are infantry versions in an other dutch museum. I've been there but can't exactly remember name or where lol

I'm late but where's "there"

I mean it isn't you just have to have a license, just like the tank...

@@CloroxBleach0 lancashire england I think.

@@plaid13 nice, I guess I know where I wanna live now also it's cool seeing you after 6 years lol

@@CloroxBleach0 lol

Dude is like "I drive a tank, therefore your argument is invalid".

+DEANOGTO well it was filmed in britain so i guess its french tank meets british car :)

+Jack Mc Gatling he was speaking about the car's brand

@@Suppenschuh it's a Citroën Berlingo Citroën is French

Citroën

Honestly I don't believe that. Take a look at this cutaway view: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-9sqVUgTSudM/VkSz5kCovUI/AAAAAAABpwU/lKOwHRIYcbU/s640/amx13.gif.. With such little place how should the commander get extra rounds out of the hull an put them into the muzzle? Maybe with "smaller" (and the ammuntition of the original German 7,5-cm-KwK 42 L/70 had been rather large in fact: thepanzertrap.com/images/PANAMMO%20AP%20TYPE%201%20WOOD2.png ) 75 mm rounds it might have worked, but certainly not with the later 90 mm or 105 mm rounds . . .

Man, I would love to drive this thing around city streets, just waiting to see peoples' reactions. Fun! :D

Elric Colvill You wont get people arguing with you, and if they so, start moving towards their car, lol.

in case anyone needs a translation (4 years on) this says: Hello, from 1974-1979, I drove and fired this same tank. Oh to remind me of my youth under the tricolore of the French Flag. I am certain that I could drive it again today no problem. I am available to make the trip!

@@ralfpetitt713 you didn't translate Kénavo lol it's a bretonnic word... for good bye or see you soon*

@@ralfpetitt713 bro thanks for this

The is7 also had an autoloader... Why doesent it have it on Wot oh wait ballance.

People could still make things balanced. Like on the Is 7, Make lower alpha or longer reload. That's how they balance autoloaders...

Yeeeey, and also it could carry only 12 rounds, so fire them at once at first minute and go suicide....... On the other hand, thats how 99% of players play it anyways...

I say give it 12, then make it STOP to reload, and equally reduce the alpha. In an arcade game built on alpha damage, all revolver tanks are pretty much broken. :I

Patrik Ogrizek I wish is7 had autoloader lol how OP is that

visit more YONIF bases you Will find leopard 2A5 if youre lucky....

Yonif is infantry battalion, they don't use tank. .... Yes, Indonesian army have Leopard 2. But currently operated by cavalry battalions that under Kostrad (Yonkav 1 & 8), not by cavalry battalion that under Kodam like near my home.

+MrAdpran like i Said if you're lucky...

Also, total respect to this guy for restoring this vehicle. I’m in awe of his mechanical skills, and patience and persistence.

+Pete Hall yes indeed

Beautiful landscaps for a beautiful tank!

Only just. Not properly up in the hills.

you will find that this is rossendale in east lancashire old bean

Tier 8 premium!

WTHisDaftPunk:( why "premium" ?

French Bomber so you can afford all the rounds your going to miss with the damn thing lol

Actually, player once petition for it to be in Tier 9 and replace the Lorry 40t which performance is questionable. But the final say from Wargaming is that it's not going to happen, not even premium tank due to something in AMX-13-105 being "too modern for the time period" or so they say.

+French Bomber Sold for export, mainly to israel; I had the pleasure of working on different models of AMX-13 on gun 90mn, armed missile section of a cannon 75mn and 4 SS11 missiles to finish on 13 VBCIs Milan. I was hot inside but also very very cold because of engine placement in the front right causing an air suction from the turret well to the engine compartment. Its rate of fire is impressive with the system of "loader", a good crew could put 6 shells of the same trajectory in less than a minute, useful especially in artillery support, some tank commander engage themselves in the shell barrel by a good bed on the rear of the munition. This infantry tank was a wonder of design, are easy maintenance. His faults are air supply and the noise he made while driving by are ventillateur. if not that fun to drive. In addition it was equipped with a hydraulic troubleshooting starting system that has allowed the crew to start the gear in case of battery failure or breakage of starter .The following 8-cylinder flat was equipped with magneto we could cut independently of the other, the use of magnétot allowed to use the boot system Hydraulic ride on the back of moteur .The grip of the unsynchronized gearbox is tricky but once used is no longer made the difference with a sync box. Only the crew size is a handicap, + 1m75 sorry you will have to fight on foot .... LoL

+MrTorgue Is it? Or is it just that the overlapping armor let the rain (and blast) in.

+Adamast You're right. I thought there was no armor behind that canvas at all, but a little research enlighted me. Thanks. (But like you mentioned yourself, still a big big risk for crew because of blasts and other hazards)

there's nobody in that bus.... 😄

Its rossendale....defiantly not tourists

+san jose Any side a tank is on is the right side.

true, true Ozoneocean MJM

the lens of the roads is switched in England people in England drive on the opposite side than America

+Drexter Charles i think he was just joking

+Ozoneocean MJM I wouldn't complain to the driver.

george clark​ crains degun in french. In provencal language it means : I am not Afraid of nobody. Ask for an inhabitant of Marseille. 

+Grand Gousier oui donc c'est pas francais, c'est marseillais. comme la chocolatine ;)

jean-francoise marco Chocolatine n'est pas exclusivement employé à Marseille. C'est dans tout le sud de la France qu'on appelle les pains au chocolat comme ça. :)
