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!

Lol top 500... Hard pass
Way to increase cheaters, multiaccount elite players and fights between Squadron members. This just gave me another reason to not be in a squadron or play the game.
Was looking forward to WW mode , but this make me not want to play it.
You guys seriously suck for doing this. In the future, keep your damn rewards quite and dont tell us about them.
Always find a way to ruin everything, don't you Gaijin? Sickening.
Wait a sec there Gaijin, your telling me that not only is this a tank that should rightfully be in the techtree and now I have to grind a event. But ALSO that this event is notorious for being worse than all the others? How many of the E-100 players were banned for cheating? Like nearly half. This isnt an event vehicle. It's one that's needed to flush out the tree's. Never again will I participate in one of these awful events.
Was this the reaction you guys were hoping for? Honestly who runs these departments? You guys have a game with a mechanic that is nowhere else if you would just start treating the community the right way you have one of the most popular games going. Instead of 20k people online playing right now you could have 200k+. But you constantly ignore the community and treat them with disdain almost it seems sometimes. I love this game but I'm actually afraid the way you do things sometimes is going to..
kill it off for good someday. The worst part of it is it seemed like recently you just stated listening to the player base more with certain things you did and the way you were interacting and answering questions on the forums. Then you revert right back to "screw em" it seems. I know you can never please everyone but you just annoyed and pissed off 95% of the players. That's backwards from what you should shooting for.
Change it from leaderboard to completing tasks and you'll solve 90% of the issue with this.
What I dont understand is how competition between Members of a Squadron is going to be helpfull... its setting up a toxic environment within Squadrons!!! This is not good!
I get that you dont want someone who didnt do anything but is in a Top 25 Squadron to get a vehicle, but couldnt you just say everyone who got a specific score in the Squadron will get the price? Therefore Squadron Members wouldnt have to compete against each other.
