The AMX 30 1er prototype is a French tier 9 medium tank.
Developed as part of a competitive search for a unified European tank. The vehicle turned out to have maneuverability, engine power, and effective anti-tank engagement distance superior to all other vehicles except the Leopard 1. The armor of the vehicle was quite thin, but it was decided that technological advances in anti-tank shells had essentially rendered armor obsolete: survivability would depend on mobility and firepower.
The AMX 30 1er prototype marks the end of its French medium line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High top speed, good acceleration and decent turning
- Good camo values
- Fast-firing top-gun with acceptable penetration, good alpha and excellent DPM
- Good accuracy when fully aimed
- Quite good and angled frontal turret armor on 2nd cupola (buffed to 150mm in patch 9.20); can give some bounces
Cons:
- Weak hull armor; won't bounce shells often
- Accuracy on the move / when not being fully aimed is bad; you will miss more often than not!
- Relatively large cupola on the top turret
- Often catches fire from frontal shots due to the frontal fuel tanks
- Poor view range for a medium tank
Performance
The AMX 30 1er Prototype is a great example of power creep. This medium has the speed of a Leopard, the turret armor of a Centurion, the gun depression of an american medium/heavy and the camo of T-54, combined with good DPM and high alpha. Note, however, that after patch 9.20 its top gun lost 12mm of penetration, so expect to use more HEAT against heavily armored targets.
When stock, the AMX 30 Prototype is a pain. Although the mobility is still fairly good, the gun is only really effective for flank shots or even rear shots for some of the more heavily armored tanks in the game. However the stock mobility is good enough to reach these required positions.
Researching the 100 mm SA47 should be a main priority. Note that the gun is too heavy to be initially mounted so the tracks should be researched or Enhanced Suspension mounted (it is cheap anyway).
The final gun, the 105 mm mle. F1, is an excellent addition to this tank. It combines acceptable penetration (248mm) with good alpha and relatively fast rate of fire to make the AMX 30 Prototype a medium with a nasty punch for unsuspecting enemies.
Early Research
- If you have free XP to unlock the tracks, do so. If not, mount enhanced suspension, it is cheap and will allow faster progress to the 2nd gun if you don't already have it unlocked. Mobility with stock tracks and engine is very good anyway, so the firepower should be your priority.
- Research and mount the 100 mm SA47 gun for a much needed boost in penetration and damage. If you played through AMX 50 100 or Bat.-Châtillon 25 t AP, you should have this gun readily available.
- Research the 105mm gun, it is what makes the tank
- Research the turret for increased view range, better HP (1550->1650), faster reload, as well as better frontal armor
- If not already done in step 1, research the tracks to allow for a higher weight limit, better traverse speed, and to free up 1 slot for combat-oriented equipment (occupied by enhanced suspension up to this point)
- Research the upgraded engine; it has a lower chance of engine fire (12%) and slightly better mobility due to lower weight
- Finally, research the radio
