I'm a simple man. I see 8Bit Dane; I click 8Bit Dane.

Very nice of you to say 😊

This appears to be a French reply to the British/South African Bosvark… hopefully the RoF makes up for the less-powerful 20mm caliber.

[@8BitDane]

I already prefer this one over the Boswark.

[@zanaduz2018]

I can see why: the angles are better since it doesn’t have that awkward ammo box shelf on the right like Bosvark does (and the cab looks lower too).
Edit: Having finally gotten a chance to play around with it in Test Drive, this is much nicer than I initially gave it credit: the cannons are identical to the one on the Ystervark, but twinned (so you get twice the lead downrange). These shells also travel much faster than the Bosvark's 23mm (just under 1km/s of muzzle velocity with these, versus 800m/s for the ZU-23), which makes the aiming very easy.

Great review, I'm surprised that you said that it's far better than the amx 10p given that it has less pen to kill tanks. While the 57mm is enough to kill lights and some mediums, the extra pen from the 10p ensures pen from more angles and greater distances. Not to mention the TPK can't shoot from the front while the 10p can.
However the TPK could put more rounds into the air unlike the 10p which just fires faster
It's good to see french AA, just a bummer that they didn't choose a better suited dedicated AA which france has many of for this BR

[@8BitDane]

I meant as its better suited for the role of Spaag. The Amx is a more all-around vehicle with the scouting and better armor pen and more protected crew.

Total CAS Death

Can it kill tanks? It's French so should only take on weaker forces. Then have a parade. With medals 😜

[@8BitDane]

well they also have a pretty national song.

[@zanaduz2018]

The Ystervark uses the same gun that this does, built under license in South Africa. As such, the guns on this are stats-wise identical, the only difference being the chassis and the fact that this is a twin-mounted version (and thus has twice the firepower).
Of course, the Ystervark is also 4.0 compared to this at 5.3... but that might be a blessing in disguise, as you'll get more light-armored vehicles in uptiers compared to the Ystervark which is fully stuck within WWII tank armor meta.
