[Vehicle] AML 90. [WIP]

[Sgt_Doctor]

The Panhard AML (called the AML 245 by Panhard) 60/90 is a light armoured car with permanent 4×4 drive for mobility. It can carry either a 90 mm quick firing low pressure gun, or a 60 mm breech loading mortar as main weapons.

During the 1950s, the French Army used the Daimler Ferret in large numbers but decided to build their own armoured car and Panhard started the production of the AML in 1960. Since then over 4000 vehicles have been completed and manufacture continues for the export market. The AML 60/90 have been sold to over 30 countries. In addition to the French production, 1300 AML 60/90 were built under licence by South Africa under the name of Eland 60/90.

An armoured personnel carrier (APC) version was also developed, the Panhard M3. The M3 and the AML share 95% of working parts, encouraging many countries to employ both the M3 and the AML in order to reduce operational costs.

AND DON'T FORGET : WIP !

[MAINERROR]

Looks good. Can't wait for more pics.

Btw. is this Bao some sort of machine?

[Sgt_Doctor]

The greatest man i ever seen !

No, seriously Bao does an amazing job.

[smart_boy00]

I am looking forward to following your updates on this! Can't wait!

[MAINERROR]

Seems like he does not need any sleep. Weird man.

[McBumLuv]

Dites à Bao que je lui félicite sur tous ses accomplissements, ils sont excellents

Hope my grammar's not off, it's been a while since I've had the chance to write in french

Anyways, it's coming along quite well, I can't wait to see some of the detail added to it all. Also, that thing looks quite puny, even smaller than the Warrior IFV (Or is it the Scimitar? I can't ever seem to remember)

[Sgt_Doctor]

No, your french is good !

(And, it's the Scimitar.)

This looks like it would be a great hit and run vehicle. The african faction comes out of the jungle with one of these, hits a leclerc or supply truck, then hightales it out of there before the leclerc has a chance to fire back.

[Sgt_Doctor]

I imagine more a combat with an AMX 10 RC vs a T62, and an ERC 90 vs an AML 90.

[MMad]

My, that's a weird vehicle. Cool stuff, keep it up!
