Commander sight does help with the poor gun depression. You can hide completely behind cover and shoot the gun upwards and quickly turn off "commander fire mode" to increase the gun depression since it tracks from the commander sight too. It's still gimmicky but I made the gameplay much better. especially at long range since it does sorta have a minimum engagement distance. Another positive is that the commander sight is more stable than the actual gun so shooting on the move is pretty viable.

[@gnkpowerdroid823]

the commander sight also has alot more zoom so it can be easier to see things at longer ranges

Every SACLOS/beam riding missile in the game can get extra depression using binos. It doesn't help from close range but from afar you effectively have infinite depression as long as you keep LOS to your tank. You even get horizontal guidance beyond what your tank can normally turn to.

[@panserofthelake]

Please elaborate on this!!! I just got this tank and want to love it but I haven’t gotten a single kill with it in 4 mayches

[@MyWaifuNow]

@@NoSleepTill72 You need to peek a bit of your tank out from cover, shoot a missile, then enter binocular mode and just hold the fire button and aim at something. It allows for some sneaky kills or i think in the case of this vid there was a part where spook didn't have the depression to hit an enemy without exposing himself too much and the bino trick would help there. It wont really help the tank be good but it will suck less and removes the horizontal limit issue

[@Rickardo9828]

Something you can do with ATGM vehicles is just use the distance adjustment for the sight to bring it down far below the normal gun depression angles, it will still go to the center of the crosshair rather than the line of the barrel/launcher. It give you like 10-15 degrees more than default, in the case of the AMX-10M it's pretty much mandatory.

[@Quicksilver-7791]

You can't do that with the AMX- 10M.

[@brucebanner52]

They got rid of this trick with the atgm update. Maybe play the game first?

The French Ground tech tree is really really neglected . Just Look at the Leclercs there is soo many things wrong , but gaijin will not do anything about them just because the leclerc are Mostly played by high skilled players , because if you dont have high skill you wouldnt even be bothered by trying to play it.

[@kpack1993]

Same reason the repair costs on French vehicles went up and up and up before.

[@MCH-23.Quintus]

The thing is that the AMX-10M isn't even supposed to be a fighting vehicle, it was just a prototype platform to test the 142mm ACRA canon... I don't even know why they added that when the AMX-13 DCA (radarless), ERC-90 Sagaie, VBCI 32T, Panhard M3 VDA, VEXTRA, etc still aren't in the game...

[@BanditRookie]

2:18 "Granted, that guy was very disabled" Bro same.

[@GumMonster1]

I find it strange that barrel fired ATGM does "the drop" when fired from a tube. I will point out somethings I noticed about this vehicle in the hangar. The gap in the breach area means if you get a kill by barrel stuffing the enemy you will more than likely perish simultaneously. The same is true if a team-mate has a significant emotional event such as an ammo rack detonation in close proximity to this tank.

Worst tank you've ever played? Challenge accepted. Take out the FCM.36. You cannot possibly think it is worse than this. It cannot even penetrate itself. Think it has 36mm of penetration, is tad big and slowish. Plenty of material for you to work with. Prove me wrong good sir.

[@conscientiam_sui7385]

Something that might make it easier to use, it has commander override on it. You can stick just barely over any ledge, spot targets through it and just fire into the air almost like a Swinger. Sucks at close range and anywhere with foliage, but it might make it easier to use.

it will also fix the bouncing gun killing the missile issue, but tank mains never bother to learn their own controls...

This is a reminder that even CC's have skill issues. Acra missile at 7.3, quick reload, barrel launched, fantastic 20mm, mobile. This thing is a beast. I happily uptier it to the 7.7 line-up. Git gud, Spook.

[@santiagocastano159]

Hello spookston, the French tank E.B.R (1951) is one of my favorite tanks. I feel quite comfortable playing with the fast one, and the option to identify enemies. Its only problem is the cannon and the little perforation it has, but I think on your part it could be a funny tank for a video

[@binarybee22]

Yeah i love that thing, even on mobile WT it kicks ass, but the cannon is a pea shooter if you dont pen the turret

[@Kannac]

Half the time I just drove the AMX-10 instead. Same cannon and smaller. Identical gun either way.

[@TheArklyte]

If I recall bs I've seen people do on AMX-30 ACRA once, the trick is to set the distance very high and thus force ATGM work in pseudo top attack mode by trying to return to beam. Same trick should work on AMX-10P since it's same ACRA ATGM, no?

CV90 BILL was excellent because you could go after the enemy and you could play more aggressively and actually make good use of those missiles.
