This Suggestion is in support of the Armored Cars research line project

The Panhard AML-90 is a part of the AML serie wich for the time line, plausible rating and role allow him a place in the French main tree. the AML series was a design of 1959 to offer to France a cheap alternative to the heavy EBR who proven to not be as mobile as the British Daimler in the desert of Algeria during the war. the need to have a lighter armored car that could carry different armament, from the mortor, heavy machine-gun, cannon and even the a 90mm who could be easily carry in a plane, extremly mobile in the desert, lighter than the EBR and even faster. the AML series was offering all that with a wide range of armament for the turret. the one that interest us is the AML-90 featuring a impressive 90mm cannon on a very small and light armored car that could be used as much as a reconnaissance vehicles, infantry support, tank hunter and border patrol. the AML-90 was all that at once, it was used by france in his Colony and various conflit around the world but mostly in Africa and middle east. the Panhar AML-90 had proven to be a excellent alternative to the EBR and be a been quickly deployed in the battlefeild. the AML-90 have nothing to be impress by the tank of his time and show to be a dangerous opponent even to the mighty T-54 and T-55 who they fight in many occasion with surprising sucess. the  AML-90 was exported in various country along side to the different variant of the AML which include the LMG and the Mortor version. the AML 90 is currently still in service in many country including France. the gun can shoot shell in a velocity of 720m/sec with a penetration of 320mm of steel at 90 degree.

AML-90 and AML-90 Lynx

Spoiler

turret lynx in the top and turret H-90 in the bottom.

 

the main difference of the AML-90 and AML-90 lynx is the upgraded turret. the AML-90 have a D921 90mm with a elevation of -8 to +15 while the Lynx have an elevation of -8 to +35. in additionl to the elevation gear, the sight was also improved to have a night and day visibility up to 2000m without artificial illumination. the gun was lightly modified to now have the APFSDS shell who have a very hight velocity of 1,350 m/s. the more powerful gun of 90mm Cockrill III could also be mounted. the new hydraulic transverse was now giving the lynx turret a rotation of 24 degree second.

+1, but there isn't just the AML 90.

I mean like the AML 60-7 had heat rounds and this is only one of them.

Others included SS.11,AA guns,..

the AML-60 have a mortar who have a very little penetration and mostly shoot HE in indirect artillery loop, i do not think any full artillery tank would be nice to play for now. the ATGM and AA variant are left for another suggestion as i wanted to keep that suggestion to a conventional armored car who fill the role of what in-game we call light tank.

Okay makes sense, my bad.

 

Btw wasn't there two variants of the AML 90?

A normal one and one upgraded with the lynx turret.

Because if yes you should change the poll to include the 2 of them

 

Edit: found that the lynx variant had APDSFS instead of just HEATFS  but not sure how accurate this is
