AMX 30A
#171841

Description:
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, so survivability depended on mobility and firepower, not protection.
