The FCM 50 t is a Tier VIII Premium French tank. It was reclassified as a medium tank instead of a heavy when it was implemented into Blitz to allow the FCM 50 t to enter battles more easily. It can come with 2 rare camouflages, namely the 'Zizou' camouflage, which is mostly blue, and the 'Titi' camouflage, which is mostly white. Both tank and camouflages are meant to commemorate the UEFA Euro 2016, where France hosted the games and were fan favourites to win the Euro Cup

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- The 90mm DCA 45 cannon has better shot effectiveness than even the 8.8cm PaK 43 L/71!
- Very large hitpool for a tier VIII medium
- Good gun depression allows peek-a-boom tactics on mildly hilly terrains
- Weighs about 50 tons (hence the name '50 t'), allows ramming most mediums so as to do more damage when reloading
- Although weighing 50 tonnes, it is extremely mobile
Cons:
- Very weak armour for tier VIII mediums. 120mm frontal armour almost unsloped. Turrer only 100mm, so don't expect the armour t
- Large silhouette, resulting in lousy camouflage value. Sniping from a high position without cover not recommended
- Without armour, the FCM 50 t will die relatively quickly as anything shooting it will pen it in tier VIII
Performance
For me, my tactics are if I want to get spotted, I will have a highly armoured tankm(like IS-6, JagdTiger 8.8, IS-3 Defender or T34), so the FCM 50 t sort of blew up my playstyle. Without camouflage value, the tank will get spotted very easily, and without armour, FCM will not survive long. Performance really depends on the map, paths to take to flank the enemy (and even that may not work as the enemy could have tanks travelling that way, or have tanks posted there. Without high points with cover, the FCM 50 t is forced to a support role, allowing heavier armoured allies to pop out first before the FCM sticks out as the enemy would usually ire at the tank that first appears. Be wary of snipers supporting the enemy from a hidden area, though
