Since the AMX 13 57 is for sale again (at least on NA) I figured I would make a thread to discuss the tank and it's closest competitor, the T71 DA. These two tanks are a couple of my best performing vehicles and my performance in each is pretty similar. Which tank do you prefer or think is more competitive and why?
T71 DA benefits:
- available to free-to-play players and all the time
- better alpha damage for when you can only shoot once or twice
- default APCR rounds so you don't have to fire gold as often
- essentially the same aim time as reload time (2 sec) so your bloom can reset fully between shots
- much more overall potential damage so there's less risk of running out of ammo
AMX 13 57 benefits:
- premium tank that can use and train other crews and make good credits
- faster APCR rounds that are much cheaper than the DA's premium HEAT rounds
- faster clip unload/ unique 1 second reload time within the magazine
- slightly more hitpoints (+50)
