Performance

This tank introduces the concept of feeding the gun with a 6-round drum and using an automatic loader to reload the drum. The drum enables the tank to fire six shots rapidly, with the unfortunate side effect of taking a considerably long time to reload. This would not be a problem if the game allowed firing shells from a partially reloaded drum, but it does not. Therefore, a common tactic for this tank is to charge up next to or behind an enemy that's busy fighting an ally, unload all six rounds (roughly 660 damage over 12 seconds), and run away to reload. At the same time, keep in mind that this tank only holds 36 rounds of ammunition with the stock cannon, and 30 with the upgraded cannon. The gun's penetration is nothing exciting, so use it as a flanker. If you find yourself in a Tier 10 match, one effective tactic is to drive with the heavies and wait. When the main fight has finished, look and see if a long heavy or medium with only a few hundred hp is foolish enough to wander out in the open. Move behind him using cover, move in from behind and empty that drum magazine. That tank will with he'd stayed put. Plan your route in *and out* before you make your move. This holds true too for engaging combat in 1v1, where you should be sure that you can kill your opponent with a single clip, and if possible not counting on the fact you will score all 6 shots. This tank will not survive hits, so if you hit a wall or anything that brings you to a stop, you're dead.

Some things you should keep in mind when playing this tank:

-Never lead a charge unless you want a premature death -Tier 8 matches are commonplace, sometimes, you'll even end up in tier 10 matches -The 12t is NOT a scout -Stay alive as long as possible, the 12t is indispensable in mid-late game battles -Be aware of your surroundings. Before jumping into the fray, make sure the enemy vehicles in the region have been detected -Passive scouting can rack up a decent amount of XP and credits -Be mindful of terrain and slopes when flanking. Make sure that you have enough speed, and NEVER charge uphill-- you don't have the engine power for it. Avoid swamps at all costs.

Early Research

• Unfortunately, no modules carry over from the ELC AMX
• First, start by researching the better tracks, AMX 12t Bis
• Then, research the better gun, 75mm SA50
• Then, the better engine and finally the better radio
