Description

GarageImage AMX-13 (HOT).jpg


The AMX-13 (HOT) is a Rank VI French light tank with a battle rating of 8.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.75 "La Résistance".

At its current battle rating, the AMX-13 (HOT) can definitely do some serious damage, even to top-rank MBTs and (as of 1.81) helicopters too. The six HOT ATGMs are enough to penetrate almost any armour in the game on direct hit, save for the M1 IP's turret cheeks (which it doesn't have to face), and the T-64B's upper glacis (with ERA in place at high angle). All six missiles can be fired in short succession, although only the one fired last can be controlled.

This makes it a viable tank destroyer, but unlike any of the MBTs, it cannot take a hit and survive. Even certain machine guns and aircraft cannons are capable of killing it easily. Use your spotting ability to alert your team to enemies, and try and get an ATGM in a critical spot, like crew or ammo. ATGM have problems breaching fuel tanks, engines and radiators, so avoid hitting those with missiles.

Just remember: You only have six ATGMs, after that, you are using a conventional gun, firing solid shot AP, which technically can ammo rack tanks like T-64 and T-80 from the side, but it's not a guaranteed kill.

Notes:

  • Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
  • Rack 6* and 7* (autoloader magazines) are first stage ammo racks. They total 12 shells.
  • These racks get filled first when loading up the tank and are also emptied first.
  • As the AMX-13 (HOT) is equipped with an autoloader, manual reloading of the gun is not possible.
  • Once the autoloader magazines have been depleted, you can't shoot until the loader has restocked the autoloader. The restocking time is longer than the normal reload time of the gun (about 15 seconds). Take this into account when playing.
  • Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 to 5 into rack 7* then 6*. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.
  • The depletion order at full capacity is: 6* - 7* - 1 - 2 up to 5.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

II Suspension Brake System FPE Adjustment of Fire Airstrike PCOT-51P
III Filters Crew Replenishment Elevation Mechanism Smoke grenade
IV Transmission Engine Artillery Support Improved optics

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Mouse-guided HOT missiles, capable of breaching even strong NERA plating
  • Can annihilate a lot of tanks in quick succession
  • Reasonably fast turret rotation speed

Cons:

  • Autoreloader rearm time after 12 shots is long
  • After you run out of HOT missiles you essentially drive a Rank IV light tank in a top-rank match
  • Only 6 ATGMs
  • Horrendous gun performance at top tier, you will be unable to penetrate almost all enemies frontally
  • Oscillating turret causes up and down bobbing of the gunsight when coming to a stop
  • Mediocre mobility for a light tank

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).
