General Information
The AMR33 (Renault Type VM) was designed in 1932, manufactured by Renault based on the existing fully tracked Light Tank and was in use from 1933 to 1945.

The vehicle was powered by Renault '8 cylinder' petrol powerplant producing 84 HP which could drive the vehicle on roads at up to 37 mph with a range of about 124 miles before refuelling. Its cross country performance was good providing a max speed of about 28 mph and a range of about 49 miles.

It was armed with 1 light machine gun , a Mitrailleuse modèle 1931. Light reconnaissance tank widely used by French Cavalry and Reconnaissance regiments

History
Designed by Lt Colonel Reibel, the FM 24/29 was developed into a heavier machine gun capable of relatively sustained fire, by giving it an extremely thick and massive barrel, to act as a heat sink.

Hit Probability(%) 98

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.

The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre, the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
