The FAHM turret (the turret from AMX 65t), was considered to be mounted on one of the up-armored models of the AMX M4 1949, but a prototype was never built. This model appears in-game as the tank's stock configuration. However, the TCB turret (the top turret in-game) was never considered to be mounted on any AMX M4 hull, since it was developed years after the AMX M4 project evolved into AMX 50. The top configuration is thus fictional and never existed. | The FAHM turret (the turret from AMX 65t), was considered to be mounted on one of the up-armored models of the AMX M4 1949, but a prototype was never built.

The AMX M4 mle. 51 is a French tier 9 heavy tank.
The Project 141 was a variant of the AMX M4 heavy tank with reinforced front armor. Development started in November 1949, but the vehicle was never built. The project also included many calculations for different hulls on a similar chassis.
The AMX M4 mle. 51 leads to the AMX M4 mle. 54.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Strong UFP and turret front protection, proof against all but the highest penetrating guns
- Good handling and accuracy on both guns
- Very mobile for an heavy, reaches top speed with ease unlike the AMX 65t
- Has 8° of gun depression and decent height
- Respectable weight coupled with high mobility can lead to decent amount of ramming damage
Cons:
- Cupolas are smaller but still vulnerable
- Rather weak shoulders and very thin sides prevent effective side-scraping and are prone to flanking
- Horribly oversized, not very easy to conceal when needed
- Limited penetration and slow shell velocity on 127mm gun

Historical Info
See the AMX M4 mle. 45 and the AMX M4 mle. 49 history sections for more information on the AMX M4 development history. The cast FAMH turret, first proposed on the AMX 65T tank destroyer, was also considered for use on the AMX M4 model 1949.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The AMX M4 51 in it's stock configuration is heavily based on an alternative variant of AMX M4 1949, with uparmored hull and FAHM turret. However, the top configuration is fictional, as the TCB turret was only intended to be used on the Surbaissé hull, or better known as the AMX 50 B. In addition, the designation "AMX M4 51" is fictional, since by then the AMX M4 project already evolved into AMX 50 project.
- The armor thickness of the both the TCB and FAMH turrets is unknown and was most likely made-up by WG for balance purposes.
- The 127 mm/54 Model 1948 was a naval gun, and there are no known plans or proposals to ever use it as a tank gun.
