Tier XI Medium Lineup: Meet the AS-XX 40t!

[Echo]

Commanders!

Update 2.0 unveiled the future of armored warfare with the arrival of Tier XI vehicles. After the mighty German Taschenratte introduced the heavy line, France now takes its turn, presenting its Tier XI medium tank—a machine that brings speed, firepower, and flair to the battlefield.

Say hello to the AS-XX 40 t—an expert of tactical wit!

Master your Fire!

Successor to the iconic Bat.-Châtillon 25 t, the AS-XX 40 t brings a fresh twist on classic French autoloading gameplay. Choose how many shells to load and how many to spend. A fake reload might just bait your enemy out of cover.

• Tank class: medium

• Tech Tree branch: French medium branch, following the Bat.-Châtillon 25 t

• Distinctive traits: external shell bay, reinvented autoloader.

This hunter possesses flexibility, allowing you to set the tempo of every fight.
