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!

Epic Fail Gaijin! Epic Fail! Show how much of a joke you think we are. F'king clown shoes I swear!!
Gaijin: hey, noone wants to play our Arcade + World War mode, lets put an Event vehicle that is only obtainable in there so they have to play it. lets see if your able to accept critism or are you gonna delete it again ? ( since we all know that free speech is something you really care about xD )
just an idea ... for tournaments just use existing vehicles with unique paint schemes/ looks (ex: sandbags, extra mg's).It's so not cool when it's behind a competition !
lol. Gaijin never learned that the E-100 tournament idea was a bad one and they go ahead and make this. Gaijin could have just set a goal for World War mode for every individual player to reach. EVERYONE can potentially earn this vehicle within the World War mod and that would have been perfect. But nope you go and make a leaderboard exclusive vehicle like the E-100; becuase that got so much positive feedback.
Would love to play French tanks but their repair cost is way too much. I love the AMX 50 tanks :(
sorry but the name "recon under fire" for the update is bad, idk
Its ww season name not the update name
OGy43, Its still bad
Very strange translation! But cool tank, shame it will be so limited.
Pig is an old term for a pour cast iron ingot (As in 'Pig iron'). I'm guessing that's how their translator called the solid shot 'Pigs'.
Why is the title "New French 25k Repair Cost sinkhole"
I would have ground this tank hard, just to collect it. EXCEPT it is in World War Mode. Which means NOPE.
was looking forward to WW mode, but this turns me so off it. im not gonna play it.

"a fearsome 18 (eighteen!) shots, “ricochets” and “not penetrated” hits" :D :D :D
