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!

Ugh these exclusive vehicles only available in such competitions are annoying. Still, the usual quality is nice but since I will likely never have one its not something to get excited about.
Just like E-100, only some special dudes allowed to own this vehicle and then they will put on market with a price that could buy you a real car that you can actually touch and drive. Then the money will go to GJ's HQ. This is a clever plan to selling tank that cost up to 100 euro but players can't blame or whining on GJ because they are not the one doing it, they just allowed people to put random numbers and make money for them.
so if we really want to stop this dont use the market dont put the tank up for sale... as long as we do it they will continue to do these offers... so blame players as well
After all of the progress you've made recently with listening to the community and the economy updates and everything I really had hoped things were going to turn around. But it's like you can't help but shoot yourselves in the foot. This is a really bad idea, really bad idea. You've just annoyed and alienated 95% of the community that actually pays to keep the keep the game going and has jobs.
why waste developers time making A vehicle only 500 people will get. And on top of that, France is already lacking ground vehicles and France is the country you chose for this exclusive tank instead of just adding it to the tech tree to flush it out.
because gaijin.
Would you look at that! Gaijin somehow managed to ruin the most hyped aspect of this game! What a surprise!
There is no reason to play this event for normal players, most of the rewards will get claimed by hackers and botters who play 24/7 just so they can then sell the reward on gaijin market for insane amounts of money.. Good job gaijin, the world war mode didn't even start yet and you already made most of your players hate it..
E100 Shit-show in a 2019 wrapping
E-100 2.0
lmao, nice E-100
Can you please stop adding those special vehicles which I'll never get since I'm burned out from grinding towards them?
another tank impossible to have Really sad
