World of Tanks Supertest: AMX M4 mle. 51 – Tier IX French Heavy Tank
2 min readAnother Project 141 variant of the AMX M4 heavy tank with reinforced frontal armour. Developed started in 1949, but no prototypes were ever built. The AMX M4 mle. 51 will also offer three gun choices, from a 100 mm SA47, 120 mm D. 1203 A and a 127 mm/54 Model 1948.
The stock turret will be as I predicted, the AMX 65t, but players will be able to upgrade it to the T.C.B turret. Gameplay should prove to be similar to the AMX M4 mle. 49, French Premium heavy tank.

Pen on that 127 mm gun is terrible. Using 242/258 in this meta is just not going to work.
This is crazy: The T8 tank gets 325 Premium Penetration in this tank gets 258. No one will choose the big 127mm gun.
Also this Tank looks like a little bit like a faster E75, looking on the armor.
