Hello fellow tankers,

again I need an advice from you.
Now that I bought all French tanks of the light/medium branch from tier 5 up to tier 8 during the last weeks, I am sitting in front of the monitor showing my garage and keep asking myself "Which one of them is worth playing?".
Since I scratched together all of my silver in order to being able to afford the Lorraine 40t and the Jagdtiger yesterday, I am also in a lack of money. That's why I already sold the AMX 13 75, as it seemed to be the least enjoyable tank (same top gun as AMX 12t :Smile_sceptic: ), but I still included it in the poll, because I want to know your opinion concerning all French tanks from this branch after 7.5.

If you make your vote (be aware of the fact, that you can vote for multiple options!), please explain in a few words on which facts your decision was made.

My first thought is that I will definitely give the ELC AMX a chance, as is has a great top gun and there are many positive threads about it in the forum, but regarding all the other tanks I couldn't really find any helpful information in the forum so far, as there are very different opinions about them.
So let's try and collect some opinions and facts. :Smile_glasses:

Thank you very much in advance!

Bat chat:
You face same opponents.
They focus the same way they did before on you.
You have 1800 HP
You have a gun that delivers 2000 HP per magazine with only 5 rounds (less exposure).

I would keep ELC, 13 90 and batchat.

ELC - unique tank in game, great alfa dmg, good accuracy, good penetration, very good tank if played well (opinion after one game with 4 kills and from seen replays)
13 90 - I just like. An it is the top tiered LT. Haven't played it yet in 7.5, but I think that this will be keeper for me. Lorraine and batchat are MT and too different to act like replacement.
Bat Chat - Probably the only tier 10 tank that I will get eventualy.

this. altough i allready have batchat. new gun is just awesome, but decreased mobility @ low speeds not so much. feels like battleship from time to time. But when you gather speed... its just drive by shooting bam bam bam, you're dead! :D

AMX 13 90 is keeper, because of deadly combination of firepower and maneuverability. 13 75 will get sold in a couple of minutes, since it's like a stillborn 13 90. Don't like it, not enough agility and that gun is good only for plinking. AMX 12t got the same gun, so I'll keep that one, like ELC, which reminds me of fighter plane. Lorri and Bat Chat are not in my hangar yet, can't say about those, but Chat seems ok, Lorraine not that much, according to forums. But those can be sometimes a bit biased...

I had all french from amx12t to batchat. Sold ELC (dont like TDs), keeping amx12t only because I want a better winratio with it, sold amx13 75, keeping amx13 90 for now, sold Lorry (which I enjoyed a lot in 7.4), will probably sell batchat (very disappointing). Loved the french line.

I hated 12t and keep it only to have ELC. I've also 13-75 and not yer 13-90 and next.

Now, I low ELC and I'll keep it until th next nerf because I love his gameplay. You can play TD and Scout with only 1 tanks, and he have very good advantage.
I would sell my 12t but I tried it to watch what changing in 7.5. Now, I like 12t a lot, excellent money maker and it can be used to have an arty, so I will keep it until I've this arty.
I liked a lot my 13-75 before the patch, now, I like it but a more less. He's less funny than before especially due to his new MM, when you play against t10 there is nothing to do. When you play against t9, you're so powefull and it's really funny to play it.

So from now, I keep the 3 I've before the release.
