 ;Sniping
-The CN120-25 G1 can also be used to snipe enemies from afar. It isn't the best idea to do so, and the more effective way to snipe would be to combine a flanking playstyle with the sniping playstyle. As mentioned above, the rounds that the CN120-25 G1 fires aren't effective against frontal armour of enemy tanks, like for example the [[T-72B]], [[T-72B3]], [[T-80B]] and [[T-80U]] tanks, so the user should focus on side or rear shots. Finding a position behind enemy lines or on the sides with adequate cover, will make the CN120-25 G1 shine.

-The '''GIAT CN120-25 G1''' is a 120 mm smoothbore gun and it could fire variety of '''NATO''' 120 mm ammunition, including the French OCC 120 G1 HEAT but also the OFL 120 G1 APFSDS, which are all suitable for every NATO 120 mm smooth bore gun. The OFL 120 G1 is capable of penetrating up to 420 mm of RHA steel armour at a range of 1,000 m.

 As the AMX-32 had failed to attract any potential sales, GIAT decided to produce yet another upgrade, the AMX-40 Main Battle Tank. The development of the AMX-40 began in 1980 as a clean sheet design. In 1983, the first prototype was finished and presented at the '''Satory Exhibition''' that year. Two further prototypes were produced in 1984; the fourth and last one was fabricated in 1985. It ceased being offered for export in 1990 and with it, the CN120-25 G1 as well as it was only mounted on the AMX-32 and the AMX-40 prototypes.
