The AMX-13 is classified as a light tank and was developed shortly after
WW2.

Classification Type: Light Tank

Started just at the end of World War II, development of the AMX-13 reached
full production in 1952 with over 3,000 units built. An automatic loader
negates the need for a fourth man in the turret, though manual loading is
required after the 12th round is fired. Earlier (Model 51) models were
produced with the smaller 75mm main gun, then upgraded to the 90mm main gun
with thermal sleeve, with a further 'up-gunned' 105mm main gun produced
solely for export.
