It probably occurred to you that I’m the lil’ AMX 13 57 hugest fan.
I basically run that thing exclusively ever since I got it.
im now well past the 3K games, and ace it once or twice per session
(Thanks nobody else is playing it anymore)
That tank is also known for the infamous camo mess up, so it has a horrible reputation, and that’s why nobody is playing it.
After playing 3K games, here are my thoughts:
- For the most part, I can make it to work without camo. Finishing 1v3 becomes very difficult, and some other times it could make things much more comfortable, but overall it forces me into full yolo mode which is not all that bad on my fun-o-meter.
- After a while, I also got used to the bad pen. Of course in some instances it becomes ridiculous. some German armor can’t be dealt with except at exactly 90° angle, please stop shaking ur fat German [edited]like that. That can lose u a few games, 1v1 with a vk100 is tons of wasted prammo, but overall it’s fun trying to work around the problem. Here again, full yolo, but full yolo PAST te enemies and into their back. It’s a playstyle that is a change from, say driving German, Russian or Chinese lunchboxes.
- the worst complain in the long run is the dispersion. Because what makes the strength is the clip as a whole. When you lose half of it (or more). It took me a long while to notice, but the dispersion could make each shot count when the two previous issues place you in a precarious situation. You could shoot from further away, shoot weak spots, or spray on the run and have more of them hitting.
- Ah yeah, did I mention it’s a premium tank that earns no credits ? Yup that’s right annoying. Better go farm credits in some tech tree heavies.
Anyways i shared with some of you my belief is that WG would buff it before selling it again. Just to give it some hype. Well, apparently v5.9 is lurking, and according to the blitz post, WG will do just that !
- reload is now 10 instead of 11
- dispersion on the turret traverse is now 0.06 instead of 0.08.
However, the main dispersion issues come from the value on the move and traversing the hull, which were not communicated by the blitz post. If these improve, it’s a huge boost, if they don’t, then the small dispersion buff is just a pat in the back. I can only suppose they will.
We also need to take into account that spic, t71, lttb all got a buff.
of all of these, the danger comes from the lttb. It’s too agile, and the reload and ram capabilities are issues to deal with. You can only deal with it by trading full clips and escaping for the reload, which means some minimal distance, or by luring him into some green noob to get dpm help.
your main enemies remain Dracula and CDC. Those ugly things can ram you and dpm you anytime and u are coocked..
overall I’m still excited. The only bad news is that it all means they will sell more AMX 13 57, which will make me drop from the world classement into noobiness just as I was nearing 30 days uperuni status . Also for a month people will know about your 6 shots before they forget again, so that will be annoying as well.
Overall will it make this tank easier to play, or more difficult? I think it will be an easier tank to play.
We can expect a price drop, and if tier5 Leo clip is your style, I recommend the purchase.
if you want to know what yolowagon means, those are my replays in the thing :
