A heavy, powerful tank with an 18-round automatic loader and a 120-mm cannon, the AMX-50 Surblindé is the main prize of the upcoming World War season "Recon under Fire".
The history of development of the French AMX-50 series tanks is a desperate attempt to find a compromise between the weight of the tank, the height of the chassis, the size of the turret and the combat potential of the gun with an automatic loader. The closest thing to such a compromise was already known to our players in the AMX 50 Surbaissé. But our hero today is a clear departure from the idea of reducing the weight and height of the tank in the direction of increasing its armour and firepower. AMX-50 Surblindé means "additionally armoured" - the tank has a developed protection at the front of the hull, the so-called "pike nose", as in the Soviet IS-3. Tracks from the "King Tiger" have been further expanded to 900 mm to withstand the heaviest mass in the series - 70 tons. The high chassis is complemented by a giant swinging turret with a long 120 mm cannon and an automatic loader for 18 shells. The tank reaches a height of 3.5 metres from the ground to the roof of the commander's cupola. As it is easy to guess, by the middle of the 1950s such a monster had no chance to get into series production - the tank remained the only prototype.
AMX-50 Surblindé. Heavy tank, France, rank V.
pros:
- 120 mm cannon + 18 round drum = success!
- Well-protected hull front
- 20 mm anti-aircraft gun
cons:
- High profile
- Small selection of shells
- Weak vertical guidance angles: -6°/+10°
The AMX-50 Surblindé will be the prize in the first season of World War - we will give this tank to the best fighters from squadrons and the most skillful fighters in the overall leaderboard. The tank inspires respect for one kind or tank or another - with "size" almost like the "Mouse" or we see the Soviet "pike nose" or with the familiar tracks of a "King Tiger. Indeed, the tank had received an increased armour at the front of the hull as well as a more massive gun mantlet. Despite the increased weight, the power of the German "Maybach" engine is still enough for this giant to move at a speed of 51 km/h.
In addition to its enhanced protection, the tank is heavily armed with an accurate 120 mm cannon, just like the AMX-50 Foch, and the oscillating turret is equipped with an 18-round drum-type automatic loader, which provides a fire rate of up to 5-6 shots per minute. The tank's turret has only two types of shells armour-piercing shots and HE with a penetration of up to 45 mm. On the one hand, we would like to see more variety, but on the other hand, the AP shots provides a penetration of up to 300 mm, and the high initial velocity in some cases leads to the destruction of the hull on the enemy vehicle. The 20 mm anti-aircraft cannon mounted on the commander's cupola is a pleasant bonus because nothing at rank V has such a weapon.
AMX-50 Surblindé is an excellent tank at rank V, a real colossus among peers. Yes, it is visible from the respawn; yes, it has no fashionable HEAT shells. But it has an awesome cannon, a powerful frontage, a fearsome 18 (eighteen!) shots, “ricochets” and “not penetrated” hits, a 20 mm anti-aircraft gun and an amazing maximum speed for its mass. Battle for the honour of owning it in World War, it will be well worth it!

"Hey look we made that really cool tank that this nation that doesn't have many tanks could use, it's gonnabe even tho because reasons" Nice one Gaijin this could have been something good
World War will be a new and unique experience to War Thunder. So the rewards should be equally as unique for those who take part.
Smin1080p, World War mode is supposed to be a new gamemode for those who get tired of the same boring modes over and over again, not a never ending tournament for grinders... And don't forget that in that World War mode, arcade players get screwed
E-100 tournament 2: Electric Boogaloo
yup e100 all over again ,, I will pass
I can already see it: "Only the top 100 players will get this reward"
Mods , what effort are you guys gonna do to prevent the elite players from multi accounting hoarding the leader board ?
they won't
0 effort. Like always. Which makes me sad.
A tank I will never have.
Dont bother... at 8.0 its a bad tank anyway fighting 8.7 all the time.
voidmaster, yeah it'll just get sucked up into the 8.7 black hole filled with leopard A1A1 with L-44 nuclear cannons
i was so excited when i heard this might be added and was hoping for it to be the summer event reward but i lost all intrest when i read that only the top 500 world war mode players will get this vehicle for arbitrary reasons.
It's like Gaijin enjoys making people miserable.
Conte_Baracca, They have become experts at it, now with the E100 shit-show in a different wrapping
Me: Ooo nice! A machine to nicely backup my AMX-50 Surbias. Gaijin: will be the prize in the first season of World War. damn it :(
Oh hey look its the E-100 tournament all over again, ffs Gaijin the E-100 tournament was already a bad enough
They never seem to learn from the past
Dont bother trying to win it because they will put it to 8.0 just like they did with E-100 and AMX-50 so you will be rewarded for your skill with uptiers to 8.7 in 90% of games. Have fun with BIG target and heavy armor against heatfs and apfsds. Gaijin marketing of this thing is just stupid.
why cant we just have a normal event where everyone can enjoy the reward vehicle? is that too much to ask for?
Is Gajin events in a nutshell, what were you expecting. People give feedback about events and they didnt improve them. Operation S.U.M.M.E.R is an example
*EmyR_11, they better delete "WWII Chronicles, Winter Holiday and Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. from event list
Why not have the world war mode be like ww2 chronicles reward wise? Complete x tasks and get a vehicle. Not this top of the leaderboard crap.
That would encourage more people to play. Having a leaderboard will only chase away a lot of players. Having a system with get to X place on a leaderboard will only make people angry. Lets just hope this will not be full of cheaters/system abuser. But we all already know it will be :'(
because gaijin likes to make their playerbase hate each other
Amazing idea yet again. Why are you trying so hard to shoot your own foot off ?
Because it grows back, I guess?
Australian_Bias, Does a snail have feet?
