A New Era for Medium Tanks
The AS-XX 40 t isn’t just another vehicle—it’s a test of cunning, reflexes, and control. Perfect for those who thrive on unpredictability, this Tier XI medium tank embodies the art of outsmarting your opponent.
The future of warfare belongs to those who adapt fastest. Will you master the mind games of the AS-XX 40 t?
Much bigger size, trash camo, poor gun handling, no more lucky richochet against high caliber Tds : ABSOLUTE TRASH
I get that this has weaknesses compared to the Tier X, but it’s still an autoloader, and that is always a dangerous weapon. The upgrade tree addresses some of it’s issues, but the autoloading mechanic that you control is what truly makes it fun to play. My favorite tank at the moment.
Its only fun for people with brain on. Thats why most ppl hate it.
remember when wg did all those rearrangements to tech trees, like removing a bunch of tanks and making them collectors, so every tank resembles mostly the same characteristics throughout the tree?
yeah this has absolutely nothing in common with the rest of the french mediums.
another genius move from the masterminds at wg.
Would be better off painting it yellow and put it in the Italian tree.
But that would just make it more obvious how garbage the toggled autoreloader is, both in performance and concept.
