The AMX 50 Foch B is a French tier 10 tank destroyer.
The project of the AMX 50 Foch tank destroyer with a 120 mm gun provided for installing the automatic loading system. However, after work on the AMX 50 120 with the same armament started, the project was deemed potentially inefficient. Existed only in blueprints.
Replaced Foch 155 in 9.20 patch, the AMX 50 Foch B is basically Foch 155 with rapid-fire autoloader gun. It sacrifice its alpha damage and penetration in favor of high burst damage, high DPM, and accuracy. resulting to insane damage per clip at 2400+, close to the monstrosity damage per clip of Waffentrager E 100. It still suffers some of problems with Foch 155, however.
The AMX 50 Foch B marks the end of its French tank destroyer line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High accuracy and shell velocity allow efficient sniping
- Incredible 2,400 burst damage distributed among 6 shells with quick intra-clip reload and acceptable full clip reload time
- Tough front armor, thick and sloped
- Good top speed and respectable weight make potential rammer against medium or light tanks
- Shock factor like the previous WT E 100 due to clip potential, enemy tanks may panic upon sighting you
Cons:
- 2nd worst alpha damage and worst penetration on both standard and premium ammunition of all Tier X TDs (excluding HE(SH) shell of British TDs)
- Autoloader size combined with penetration and role means loading almost all APCR to do its job, which is extremely expensive even for Tier X
- Long and weakly armored side armor, will not bounce unless shells hit at an auto-bounce angle
- Rangerfinder can be easily penetrated by even Tier VIIs, and makes obvious target up close
- Weak engine compartment roof, extremely vulnerable against artillery fire or tall facehuggers
- Sluggish due to bad terrain resistance
- Limited gun arc, -6/+18 degrees vertical and ±10 degrees horizontal
Performance
The Foch B is a slightly evolutionary upgrade of the Tier IX Foch with one big exception that makes all the difference. The autoloader magazine doubles in size from three shots to six. So while it is still a 120mm gun tank destroyer with obvious weakspots, staring it down is now a deadly proposition.
After undergoing a considerable revamp in patch 9.20, the Tier X Foch received a 120mm gun and more powerful engine. In compare to its previous 155mm mounting configuration, the new Foch B can now relocate and snipe with ease, making a much better supporter. While losing in penetration and alpha damage, the new 6 rounder still possesses formidable if not stronger one-clipping capability, provided one knows to exploit weak spots. With 2 more shells in drum than other 120mm sporting autoloaders, the Foch B can choose to expend a shot or two de-tracking first, thus pinning down the target for easier kill. In terms of protection, thicker sides and fighting compartment roof are now proof against large caliber autopens, but still prone to flanking or plunging fire.
Early Research
The AMX 50 Foch B comes elited, thus requires no research.

Historical Accuracy Errata
In-game description is false. The Foch was never designed to hold an autoloader even on blueprints. The historical version with the single-shot gun does not exist in World of Tanks.
- There was never any Foch project designated "Foch B".
- The tank is essentially a clone of the tier 9 AMX 50 Foch with almost identical specifications (gun, engine, radio) with the only difference at its extra sideskirt. Yet several stats were inconsistent to the original vehicle (such as the Foch B's suspension load limit is lower than original Foch, and extra ammunition capacity).
