General information

The Automitrailleuse de Combat AMC.35, otherwise known as the Renault ACG-1, was an improved version of the earlier AMC.34 (Renault YR) light cavalry tank uniquely featuring the 2-man APX-2 turret which was uncommon for French doctrine that focused around 1-man turrets, 2-crew tanks to increase the amount of mobilized armour with fewer men. The vehicle faced issues with mechanical reliability and lack of armour, even after initial testing and adjustments requested by French HQ it was still rejected. However, with the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936, 17 vehicles were ordered as an emergency measure, which increased to 50 in total. Earlier though, Belgium had been the first buyer of the AMC.35 hull with an order of 25 in 1935, assumed to be series 2 AMC.34s, but only received them in 1937 after many delays and very slow production lines at Renault. The APX-2 turrets were separately bought from Batignolles-Châtillon without gun and were armed with Belgian 47 mm FRC cannons. The vehicles in French service, meant as reserves, had not even been equipped to units or trained on before being rushed towards the frontline at the breakthrough at Sedan, where, like the Belgian AMC.35s previously, they fared rather poorly against the German onslaught.

It was introduced in Update 1.75 "La Résistance". The AMC.35's hull only slightly differs from the previous AMC.34, uparmouring to 25 mm instead of 20 mm, slightly longer and roughly the same mobility. The major upgrade comes to firepower, offering a different 47 mm with a 62 mm penetrating shell and a loader thanks to the 2-man turret decreasing the poor reload of ~7 seconds to a solid ~3 seconds. However, the turret change comes at the cost of survivability, being a bigger and flatter target.
