The '''AMY-82''' | The '''AMY-82''' is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] main battle tank developed by [[AMY]] during the latter stages of the [[Occidental Cold War]]. First delivered to the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] in 1982, it gradually replaced the previous [[AMY-66]] tanks with which they were designed to have some parts commonality to ease logistics. Major improvements over the AMY-66 included a whole new armour profile, a mechanical autoloader, improved infrared sighting and a larger, more capable main gun. As such, the AMY-82 represented a major leap forward in Yonderian tank capabilities. | ||
The AMY-82 has served the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] since its introduction in 1982, gradually replacing the AMY-66 until the AMY-82 became the sole active use tank of the YDF in 1993. A number of upgrade packages were introduced to the AMY-82 over the years to prolong its service life with the YDF. The AMY-82 began being replaced in YDF service by the [[AMY-16]] in 2016, at which time excess AMY-82s were sold off to [[Tapakdore]] to serve with the [[Tapakdore#Royal Army|Tapakdi Royal Army]] with its Army of the Mounted Men. | The AMY-82 has served the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] since its introduction in 1982, gradually replacing the AMY-66 until the AMY-82 became the sole active use tank of the YDF in 1993.
