== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Israeli light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Wind of Change"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

The armour of the AML-90 can barley stop the coaxial of most tanks and can be easely killed by 12.7mm MG's

'''Armour type:'''

* Rolled homogeneous armour (hull, turret)
* Structural steel (mudguards, storage boxes)
* Wheel (tires)

'''Notes:'''

* Wheels are 10 mm thick and a spare wheel covers the left side of the hull.
* Storage boxes and mudguards are 5 mm thick.
* The belly is 8 mm thick.
* The gun barrel is 20 mm thick.

The AML-90 lacks protection against heavy machine gun fire and is susceptible to damage by light machine gun fire. The crew is located in a rather small compartment, making the armoured car prompt to being knocked out by a single shot from almost any direction. It is also vulnerable to overpressure, meaning chemical energy ammunition will take out your vehicle regardless of where they impact. A kinetic energy ammunition can damage your AML through the projectile itself or the spalling generated but the inflicted damages are lesser and has a higher chance to knock out the crew members or critical modules than to destroy the vehicle. It should be noted that the thin armour has a chance to not activate fused shells like APHE, APCBC, etc, although it will trigger HEAT, HEATFS, HE and ATGM.

'''Notes''':

* Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
* Racks 3 and 4 are first stage ammo racks. They total 10 shells and get filled first when loading up the tank.
** These racks are also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 3 - 4 - 1 - 2.
** Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammunition from rack 1 then 2 into ready rack 4 then 3. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

== Usage in battles ==

''AML-90 should be primarily used as a scout flanking vehicle due to its high speed, low profile, scouting capabilities and firepower (tremendous for such a small vehicle). The AML-90 has primarily 3 uses:''

'''''Scouting:'''''

''As its name says, scouting. When on large maps, the scouting ability should be used at its full potential. The low profile and high speed make it able to crawl to cover fast and without creating much suspicion, while marking targets for friendlies to engage.''

'''''Flanking:'''''

''Due to the high speed and really powerful gun, the AML-90 can be used to hit any enemy from the back. This tactic should be a "Hit n' Run", you should disable or destroy targets and leave before they can engage you. The powerful gun can even be able to take on a [[Maus]] or [[E-100]] if used properly (320 mm of penetration at all ranges at 0°). Use smoke to cover your trail when you have been spotted.''

'''''Sniping:'''''

''Despite the optics not having a huge zoom, it is enough to be able to detect, target and engage enemy vehicles at all ranges thanks to the HEAT-FS round. Be aware of your ammo as it can only carry 20, so make all shots count. It also creates a relatively small smoke trail when firing compared to other cannons at the battle rating (105 mm, other 90 mm, 122 mm) thanks to the muzzle brake. Bushes can also be used to make this vehicle invisible due to its low profile. A big bunch of branches can cover almost 70% of the front of the AML-90, making it a moving and deadly bush. It also creates a small engine sound that will be, most of the time, masked up by other tanks, giving you a stealth capability which can be exploited in urban combat.''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Is very short and narrow, can effectively hide itself
* High speed on road (~50-80 km/h), faster than tracked light tanks like [[M41A1|M41]]
* 90mm HEATFS is lethal thanks to its high penetration. Can go through almost all common tanks like [[Leopard 1 (Family)|Leopard 1]]
* -18 km/h reverse speed can pull it out of a dangerous situation rather quickly
* Small wheel spacing leading to tight turn radius, good for urban combat
* Smoke grenades can conceal the vehicle when needed

'''Cons:'''

* Cannon isn't stabilised in any way, can be very fatal considering that the gun needs a while to fully stabilise when braking a fast vehicle
* HEAT has limited post-penetration damage especially against spacious tanks like [[M60 (Family)|M60]]
* HEAT trajectory is quite curved, so long range shots are challenging
* Wheeled design makes it extremely sluggish in off-road conditions
* Armour cannot stop any projectile except rifle-caliber bullets shot from a distance (eg. 400m)

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.

== Description ==
The '''AMX-13''' is a rank IV Israeli light tank with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB) and 6.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in [[Update "Wind of Change"]].

== General info ==

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

Even though this tank has unimpressive armour values, its sloped profile will protect it from autocannon fire (with some distance, even the [[Bofors (40 mm)|Bofors]] can't go through this tank). Any dedicated antitank gun/missile/contraption will go right through this tank's armour. While this may sound a bit bad "getting easily pierced" also has its advantages: some APHE rounds will not detonate upon impact, which will minimise the damage done. If you happen to get shot at, the best way to survive is by showing your right front corner towards the enemy, this way, the engine deck may catch some shells. Don't ever rely on this tank's armour, take every shot you survive as a second chance.

'''Armour type:'''

* Rolled homogeneous armour (hull, turret roof, side and rear)
* Cast homogeneous armour (turret base, turret front, gun mantlet, cupola)

** As the {{PAGENAME}} is equipped with an autoloader, manual reloading of the gun is not possible.
** Once the autoloader magazines have been depleted, you can't shoot until the loader has restocked the autoloader with at least 1 shell.
** The restocking time is longer than the normal reload time of the gun (about 15 seconds). Take this into account when playing.
** Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 to 5 into rack 7* then 6*. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

|-
|}
The small calibre of the MAC 31 machine gun makes it largely ineffective against all armoured vehicles but the ones with an open compartment. It still can be used to ping targets as a rangefinding help or to mow down minor obstacles blocking your line of sight.

== Usage in battles ==

The AMX-13 is a very competitive tank as it can reach tricky positions quite fast on the battlefield. Its low profile allows it to hide behind many obstacles, serving as armour for this light vehicle. Keeping hull-down, behind a hill on the border of the map is the best way to use this tank: frontal engagements are a no-go with such little armour. AMX-13 commanders will be surprised to be able to shoot ''1 round every 5 seconds'' with such accuracy and power at this BR.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* 75mm APCBC has high penetration and high velocity, can penetrate even heavy tanks' weakspots (eg. [[Tiger II (H)]])
* Autoloader reloads the cannon at an impressive speed
* Fast on most terrains, can effectively perform flanking
* Small profile, easy to conceal the tank and ambush others
* Autoloader means that injured crew or fire-extinguishing will not impact the reload time which can be a life-saver

'''Cons:'''

* Poor survivability, thin armour can be penetrated by any gun including that of any SPAA like [[Falcon]]
* Narrow tracks negatively affect its start-up agility on loose surface
* Autoloader holds 12 shells, reload time significantly lengthens after those
* APCBC isn't explosive, requiring accurate shots on crew or other components
* -7 km/h reverse is very low, severely limiting its tactical agility

'''Notes''':

* Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
* Racks 6* and 7* (autoloader magazines) are first stage ammo racks. They total 12 shells.
** These racks get filled first when loading up the tank and are also emptied first.
** As the {{PAGENAME}} is equipped with an autoloader, manual reloading of the gun is not possible.
** Once the autoloader magazines have been depleted, you can't shoot until the loader has restocked the autoloader with at least 1 shell.
** The restocking time is longer than the normal reload time of the gun (about 15 seconds). Take this into account when playing.
** Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 to 5 into rack 7* then 6*. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

The small calibre of the MAC 31 machine gun makes it largely ineffective against all armoured vehicles but the ones with an open compartment. It still can be used to ping targets as a rangefinding help or to mow down minor obstacles blocking your line of sight.

== Usage in battles ==

The AMX-13 is a very competitive tank as it can reach tricky positions quite fast on the battlefield. Its low profile allows it to hide behind many obstacles, serving as armour for this light vehicle. Keeping hull-down, behind a hill on the border of the map is the best way to use this tank: frontal engagements are a no-go with such little armour. AMX-13 commanders will be surprised to be able to shoot ''1 round every 5 seconds'' with such accuracy and power at this BR.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* 75mm APCBC has high penetration and high velocity, can penetrate even heavy tanks' weakspots (eg. [[Tiger II (H)]])
* Autoloader reloads the cannon at an impressive speed
* Fast on most terrains, can effectively perform flanking
* Small profile, easy to conceal the tank and ambush others
* Autoloader means that injured crew or fire-extinguishing will not impact the reload time which can be a life-saver

'''Cons:'''

* Poor survivability, thin armour can be penetrated by any gun including that of any SPAA like [[Falcon]]
* Narrow tracks negatively affect its start-up agility on loose surface
* Autoloader holds 12 shells, reload time significantly lengthens after those
* APCBC isn't explosive, requiring accurate shots on crew or other components
* -7 km/h reverse is very low, severely limiting its tactical agility

[[Bofors (40 mm)|ofors]] can't go through this tank). Any dedicated antitank gun/missile/contraption will go right through this tank's armour. While this may sound a bit bad "getting easily pierced" also has its advantages: some APHE rounds will not detonate upon impact, which will minimise the damage done. If you happen to get shot at, the best way to survive is by showing your right front corner towards the enemy, this way, the engine deck may catch some shells. Don't ever rely on this tank's armour, take every shot you survive as a second chance.

'''Armour type:'''

* Rolled homogeneous armour (hull, turret roof, side and rear)
* Cast homogeneous armour (turret base, turret front, gun mantlet, cupola)

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Tank-Mobility}}

The AMX-13 can carry you wherever you want as its engine allows for fast accelerations and good, sustained, top speed. You will get quickly to a firing position on the battlefield and relocate easily to a new one once spotted.
