The AMX-13 SS.11 is a modernized version of the well-known AMX-13 light tank developed in the late 1940s. This Cold War version of the tank was retrofitted with ATGMs to complement its 75mm cannon, in an effort to boost the vehicle’s effectiveness against hostile armour. Be on the lookout for this small, but very deadly French predator, coming soon with War Thunder’s update 1.75 "La Résistance"!

Initial development of the AMX-13 began after WW2 ended. In 1946, the French army needed a new fighting vehicle to support paratrooper units. This new vehicle needed to be fast and lightweight with a maximum weight of 13 tons.The contract was awarded to the state-owned Atelier de Construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux (AMX) company, which was located close to Paris. AMX was able to quickly design the new vehicle and build the first prototypes in just 3 years.After successfully blazing through initial trials, AMX started producing the AMX-13 in the early 1950s. Production continued well into the 1980s as the aging AMX-13 was continually modernized, modified, and upgraded.The AMX-13 SS.11 is a modernized version of the AMX-13 developed during the Cold War. By 1962, the AMX-13’s standard 75mm cannon had become less effective against the armour of contemporary tanks, some of which had begun using composite armour.





Use the AMX-13’s speed and maneuverability to strike hard, fast, and avoid enemy fire. With a maximum top speed of 65 km/h and relatively low ground pressure, the AMX-13 SS.11 can take advantageous positions faster than other vehicles, which makes it a great ambush predator.

“North sea” is a location for naval battles. This location was inspired by the landscape of the Frisian Islands and the Jade Bight. The battle will take place amongst the rocks and smaller islands in the bay that is covered from 3 sides, light motor boats may perform fast attack maneuvers and then hide behind the rocks for protection whilst destroyers join the battle from the open sea. Aircraft will be able to reach the epicentral area relatively safely, but then they do need to take heed of the numerous AA-guns of any combat vessels.

We hope that you will enjoy this new location, see you on the battlefield during pre-beta closed tests!

From 17:00 GMT on the 24th of November, till 05:00 GMT on the 27th of November, Naval battle testing for all who purchased Naval packs!
