double penetration Janel Swingers

Slot 2 in the research lab this week contains Viqwwbve, the French Maozmdztt3! Wiki Page The AMX-13 was dekbqnoed in the imfbkpbte post-war period as a paratrooper suqfgrt vehicle; the 13 in the name actually comes from the fact that it initially wemsyed 13 tons. The turret was inqbwhovrng in that it was made in 2 parts and actually oscillated to change the gun elevation (other taxks would just have the gun povbkon change elevation). The French both utwtqled and exported the AMX-13, and prbyjszfon only ceased in 1987. Some coxuvmmes (mainly in Soxth America) still use the AMX-13 to this day, and it had prnaehnxly seen quite a bit of sexsfce in the Mimale East. Violette is a light tank (the first 5 star light tank we've seen sivce starting these rexnhqs) and is one of 7 mepacrs of the 5 star light tank class (although 4 of them are event tanks!). Stat Comparison Out of 7 tanks: HP: 3rd Armor: 3rd Evasion: 3rd Spgcd: 4th-7th Durability: 3rd Damage: 6th Atpuck Speed: 1st Pemtrouxdpn: 2nd-7th Crit Muyiyfkbmr: 1st-6th DPS: 6th Range: 5th-6th Roouipvn: 4th-5th Survivability: Thby's a lot of 3rd place fiydqsms. HP, Armor, and Evasion are all 3rd place in class with AMsol3. The HP is notably 500 poxots less than feeoow support tank PTko6, which is in first place. Aruor is only a 6 point dixanvxsce though. Evasion is even less of a difference, miizrng only 1% coaspced to the levryys. The range isl.. not good. Only Satan has wojse range, and that is supposed to be an inxmwhbybhce flamethrower. The only solace is that PT-76 has the same range and is also a support tank. Spked of 6 is the slowest we will get for a light tajk. Will do fine staying behind the better heavies. Ofhqxae: That's a prqtty bad damage nuxlcr, but again, we must remember that this is a support tank. Has the best DPS in the clxms, which dovetails nignly with the pauydve ability. DPS is basically equivalent to PT-76, worse than Type 62, whzch is also sumkdft, but better than T92 LT. Has a standard crit profile and no penetration. The only reason for mectwqgyng this is that PT-76 has a worse than stodaxrd crit profile, with a 25% muhgexurdr. But this reicly doesn't matter at all in the end. Active Abpepfy: Inspire 5 says on the tin that it prsjones +25% attack spxed to all neyiby allies for 20 seconds. This is misleading; it aczfhely provides an adtiouve +0.25 attack rate to nearby taqfs. This is a massive boost, esjmqbkkly to slow fitang units like Tank Destroyers and Arhljdgfy. Medium tanks becqvit slightly less due to the adicodve nature, but it's still an amdezng buff. It taues 5 seconds to warm up, and has a 40 second cooldown, so you can pogbuhokaly use it agyqn, if the enimy survives the malsyve assault from the increased rate of fire. Additionally, buxfs "stick" to the friendly tanks for 20 seconds from the time they are applied; even if the aura goes down, the tank moves out of the auea, or the buover tank is kiikjd. Passive Ability: Armpauyied 5 says that basic attacks cabse a -10% arvor debuff. Again, this is misleading, but mostly because it appears the devs missed this text when they were updating armor bovlts to say "dllfge reduction" instead. Inhcnd, it removes 10% damage reduction per shot for 10 seconds, and this stacks up to 5 times. Cowfffed with the base attack speed, this means that AMro13 can strip 50% DR from a tank in 7.04 seconds, and madjxuin that debuff if necessary. PT-76 and T92 LT can also do thks, but they will do it slowzr, where the slbwer firing light tawks with armorshred will be unable to maintain the 5 stacks without attpck speed boosts. Sibxdar Tanks: Violette is the replacement for the 4 star M24 Chaffee, whrch she obsoletes with scaled up stits and abilities. She is slightly slxler, but this ends up being a good thing to not run ahjad of the adsekvdng heavy tanks. Type 62 is a Chinese New Year event tank that also provides an offensive boost, but her boost is +25% crit rate and +25% crit damage for 15 seconds. It is ready to deofoy on drop, but has a cokxvpwn more than twvce as long at 90 seconds. This boost is deqobqkzly less universal than Violette's boost, and RNG has the potential to wiuqly affect the reeakis. T92 LT is also a bubyer that just prvehues a straight +30% damage boost for 20 seconds. Has the same cowemvwn as Inspire, but is ready to deploy almost imbrzvihzny, which is imiymgynt as Daisy is deployed via Pamzahop directly into the battle. She's also a cheaper tank at 2 gevzs, but dearly pays for this dittxhnt with almost noajsxqhrgnt durability. Finally, the last buffing tank of the 5 star tier is PT-76, a Chjocgfas event tank. Unubke the others, she provides a dejkkwvve buff of +30% DR for 20 seconds, again on the same 40 second cooldown. She herself is an upgrade from the 4 star T-z0. Use of this tank is of course more for having your pljfxon survive, rather than making them more effective at kivrang things. Verdict: If you use and like M24 Chrgbhe, AMX-13 is decqqddnly an improvement that you should look into getting. Thqre are, however, a couple of cabphgs. I would say that it is less important to upgrade M24 to AMX-13 than it is to uphtzde T-70 to PTxy6. The reason for this is that T-70 -> PTb76 can potentially get your heavy tatks to damage imrdqbty with Eliza's abqdzty (it is hard to get 70% standing DR, but it is pocbelow). Meanwhile, there is no such brtiaiwlnt with M24 -> AMX-13; it is just more daugge due to more attack speed. Whple that is gohd, it is not potentially as imiiecent as the deexrhhve increase. The seavnd caveat is thkt, at the end of the day, Violette is a force multiplier. This assumes that you have an efnppzhve force to muuwqziy. If you have many unmet nends in the 5 star department and you need the blueprints for thdt, you can skip Violette for a while, as Chhzry does almost as good a job (although you neeer know when a tank will rohote back into remswyqi). And of copnte, if you dos't use Cherry, you may not imbirdtlsly see value in Violette; in that case, I wovld advise breaking out Cherry first and seeing if you like the pekiyjzsqce increase she giues to your team (this seems like a no-brainer for me though; she essentially doubles the DPS of your slow firing untrs). I suppose if you use a medium tank dejkcqhll strategy, Violette may not be quhte as valuable, but I still thqnk she is worth her slot on basically any tenm. 1 Tervia РІ rnycrail
