Description

The AMX-13 (HOT) is a Rank VI French light tank with a battle rating of 8.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.75 "La Résistance".

The AMX-13 (HOT), at 9.0 can definitely do some damage, even to top-rank MBTs and (as of 1.81), helicopters. The six HOT ATGMs are enough to penetrate almost any armor in the game, save for the M1 IP's turret cheeks, and the T-64BV's upper glacis (with ERA in place). This makes it a viable tank destroyer, but unlike any of the MBTs, you cannot take a hit and survive. Even certain machine guns and aircraft cannons are capable of killing you easily. Use your spotting ability to alert your team to enemies, and try and get an ATGM in a soft spot, like crew or ammo. Just remember: You only have six ATGMs, after that, you're using a conventional gun, firing solid shot AP, which, can ammo rack (ie: T-64, T-80), but it's not a guaranteed kill.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

Mouse-guided HOT missiles
Reasonably fast turret rotation speed

Cons:

Autoreloader time after 12 shots are long
After you run out of HOT missiles you essentially a Rank IV light tank in a top-rank match
Only 6 ATGMs
Horrendous gun performance at top tier, you will be unable to penetrate almost all enemies frontally
Oscillating turret causes up and down bobbing of the gunsight when coming to a stop
Mediocre mobility for a light tank

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).
