The AMX-32 (105) is the first prototype subvariant of the AMX-32, which is the third variant of the AMX-30 main battle tank family. Ateliers de Construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux and Atelier de Construction de Puteaux co-developed an export tank in the late 1970s during the Cold War to meet a specific market niche of nations with low defence budgets. Despite the development of six prototypes, there was no interest in foreign sales. In June 1979, the AMX-32 P1, the first prototype of an improved and modified AMX-30 for the export market, was presented. The AMX-32 P1 deliberately duplicated the spaced armour system on the German Leopard 1A3 and Leopard 1A4, resulting in better armour protection and enhanced survivability against anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). However, no orders were ever placed.

Introduced in Update "Apex Predators", the AMX-32 (105) is designed to be a low-cost alternative main battle tank for countries with limited defence budgets. The AMX-32 (105) has less mobility than the AMX-30 Super while sharing several features in common, such as a two-plane fully automatic stabilization system and thermal imaging equipment for the gunner. This is mostly owing to the weak engine and overall heavy structure. Nonetheless, it might be employed in battle as an alternative to the AMX-30 Super. Due to its low mobility, its play style may be more constrained, which does not aid its ranks since its armour is too thin to withstand any opponent's fire.
