While peers Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) and Facebook Inc (FB.O) said they will require vaccines for workers returning to offices, Amazon has made no such announcement. Olsavsky said the company hopes COVID-19 will subside and that the economy will continue to bounce back. Last quarter Amazon announced a deal to buy the film studio MGM for $8.5 billion, expanding in Hollywood at the same time as it is running a grocery chain, building a healthcare business and facing scrutiny from regulators worldwide. The outlook comes just after Jassy on July 5 inherited Amazon's top job, which has never been bigger or more complex. Profit rose 48% to $7.8 billion, the second-largest Amazon ever announced.Īmazon expects this lower growth to continue for the next few quarters, Olsavsky told reporters. Revenue was $113 billion for the second quarter, shy of analysts' average estimate of $115 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. They are "doing other things besides shopping," he said. In the United States and Europe, customers are now out and about. Sales may only rise as much as 16% in the third quarter, Amazon said.īrian Olsavsky, Amazon's chief financial officer, attributed this to a difficult comparison to last year, when consumers stayed more indoors and relied on e-commerce for their everyday needs. While revenue surged 44% in the first quarter of this year, that figure dropped to 27% for the period ended June 30. Still, this fiery French tank remains one of the closest to light mediums you can find and will be ready to take on an opponent anywhere on the battlefield at a moment's notice.Now, the company is facing the tough task of climbing higher still. It can be a little sluggish on an incline while hauling around that trusty firearm. It matches the Kampfpanzer 07 RH in that department and offers mobility superior to the CS-52 LIS, Lansen C, and T42. The impressive top speed of 65 km/h and stirring power-to-weight ratio make it one of the speediest mediums out there. This is where the AltProto AMX 30 can really shine.
Meanwhile, the concealment value and 380 m view range are decent for a medium tank but are not attributes you can rely on to make a good spotter. The remarkable 11 degrees of gun depression will hide a cupola positioned towards the rear of the tank and give pestering foes less to aim at. The sturdy gun mantlet will block some shots, and the 60/40/30 mm hull armor will bounce incoming shells at some angles but should not be exposed if you want to remain in the fight for long. The AltProto AMX 30 has some armor to boast about, but the terrain will likely be your best friend or savior in battles. Just beware of taking on same-tier heavies without an escape plan, and know that making rushed snapshots will prove to be an unreliable tactic. It compares favorably against older-style hull-down mediums, such as the T25 Pilot Number 1 and M46 Patton KR, with better mobility and greater alpha damage at its disposal. Combined with the strong gun mantlet, it's ideal for peering over ridgelines and picking apart unsuspecting foes. The crème de la crème of this Frenchman, though, is the outstanding 11-degree gun depression angle. The 300 HP of damage per shot puts it toward the higher end for its tier, but the 1,800 DPM proves a little weaker in comparison. Time to dive into the most explosive part of the tank! The AltProto AMX 30 packs a potent 100 mm SA 47-58 firearm capable of penetrating an impressive 232 mm with AP shells and 263 mm with APCR.
