[Client Values; Actual values in
Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

AMX AC mle. 46


VII

AnnoF35_AMX_AC_Mle1946.png

1350000

The AMX AC mle. 46 is a French tier 7 tank destroyer.

Proposed plan for a heavy tank destroyer on the basis of the M4. Development was started in 1946. The configuration of the vehicle had a strong resemblance to the Jagdpanther. Existed only in blueprints.

The AMX AC 46 is a completely different vehicle to the preceding ARL V39. It has some decent frontal armour, a decent gun selection, and unprecedented mobility in the French tank destroyer line. Unfortunately, these good traits are marred by numerous flaws that are not apparent in the garage.

The AMX AC mle. 46 leads to the AMX AC mle. 48.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Decently sloped frontal armor, up to 120 mm thick
  • High speed and acceleration
  • Good gun selection, with some of the highest penetration guns of its class and tier
  • Great gun depression
  • Can mount all upgrades and equipment without improving the suspension, which makes for a painless grind


Cons:


  • Poor gun placement, with absurdly narrow gun traverse angles and poor hull traverse speed
  • Extremely thin side & rear armor with massive weak spots that are fairly easy to hit from the front
  • Large size with poor camouflage rating and subpar view range
  • Poor gun dispersion values coupled with long aim times
  • Lowest damage-per-minute for a Tier 7 tank destroyer when using the 100 mm


Performance

The AC Mle. 46 is most comparable to the Jagdpanther on paper, but is generally inferior in practice. It suffers from exceptionally poor hidden statistics such as gun dispersion and terrain resistance which hinder it substantially. The AC 46 does have better armor than the Jagdpanzer, but it is not enough to completely guarantee protection against the more powerful guns of Tier 7, although lower tier guns will struggle. To add insult to injury, the AC 46 has two massive weakspots on top of the tank, which are impossible to hide. They also allow enemies to hit the AC 46 before it can reply while cresting a hill. The side, rear, and top armor is utter trash, and cannot be expected to bounce anything. It is also highly vulnerable to artillery.

Much like the Jagdpanther, it has a choice of two viable guns. The 90 mm DCA 45 carries over from the ARL V39, and is roughly comparable to the 8,8 cm KwK 43 L/71 on the Jagdpanther, with higher penetration but a significantly lower rate-of-fire. The AC 46 can also mount the 100 mm SA 47, which boasts the second highest penetration of Tier 7, easily capable of dispatching Tier 8s or some Tier 9s, and higher shell damage than the 90 mm, but it is hampered by the long aim time, horrid dispersion, and the low rate-of-fire. As a result, the AC 46 is completely useless at performing snap shots, and it cannot afford to sit and trade with enemies either. The absurdly narrow gun traverse arc of 6 degrees to each side means that the AC 46 must reposition itself often, and every time it has to do that, this resets the aiming cycle, exacerbating the already terrible gun dispersion problems. It does, however, have 10 degrees of gun depression, and is the only French tank destroyer that can somewhat effectively fight on hilly terrain.

Mobility-wise, the AC 46 has a pretty powerful engine despite being much heavier than the Jagdpanzer, giving good acceleration and a high top speed, comparable to medium tanks. Unfortunately, the hull traverse speed is disappointing, and once a fast tank gets on its side, it is all over for the AC 46 if it has noone to support it.

The AC 46 functions best as a medium/long range sniper, as it is too vulnerable, cumbersome, and doesn't have the frontal armor for close quarters. It suffers massively when it is top tier, as the advantages it has over a vehicle like the Jagdpanzer are completely meaningless in that case. Conversely, the AC 46 should not be underestimated as a bottom tier tank, as its powerful gun can shine in those situations.

Overall, the AC 46 is one of the weaker tank destroyers of its tier, and its exceptionally poor 'hidden' statistics can make it a very frustrating tank to play. Despite this, thanks to its high penetration guns, it is not as helpless in Tier 8 or 9 games.


Early Research

  • The stock suspension is sufficient to hold all module upgrades and equipment, so players should equip the 90 mm AC DCA 45 and upgraded radio.
  • Research the 2nd and 3rd engine next. The additional power will make it a lot more nimble. If you have already played the ARL 44 the second engine is already available, while the third engine is also on the AMX M4 mle. 45.
  • Next, the suspension should be upgraded for the increased traverse speed and better hull movement gun dispersion values.
  • Finally, grind the 100 mm. Although it is a poor choice for the AX AC mle. 46, it is also used on the AMX AC mle. 1948.

Historical Info

The AMX AC de 120 mm mle. 1946 was a proposal for a self-propelled gun based on the AMX M 4 heavy tank project. It was to provide long-range fire support to the 90 mm-equipped M 4. As the M 4 project would evolve into the AMX 50, so too would the AC mle. 1946, eventually leading to the AMX 50 Foch. For balance reasons, the AC mle. 1946 in the game is only equipped with an unhistorical 100 mm gun.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

Actual name is AMX AC de 120 mm mle. 1946, the "120" indicating the caliber of the gun. The other gun configurations are fake.
  • Actual planned 120 mm gun is missing. This historical version does not exist in World of Tanks.
  • The AMX AC 46 had much thicker frontal armor than later designs, reaching 280mm of thickness (the same as on the most heavily armored AMX M4 blueprints)
