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.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Very good mobility for a heavy tank
  • Great gun depression of -10 degrees
  • Very good viewrange
  • Preferential matchmaker, won't see Tier 10 battles
  • High speed and large mass make it effective at ramming


Cons:


  • Insufficient firepower for a heavy tank (comparable to a medium tank)
  • Armor is overall nigh useless
  • Huge size and awful camouflage
  • Very vulnerable to ammo rack, engine and/or crew damage
  • Inferior to most Tier 8+ heavy tanks it sees in terms of armor and/or firepower


Performance

Combining elements of both branches of French heavy tanks, the FCM 50t indeed stands out as one of the more unique heavies available at Tier 8. It boasts excellent speed, agility and acceleration for a heavy tank, allowing players to reach advanced positions early in a match from which it can snipe at unaware and exposed enemies, as well as be part of a medium push.

As far as heavy tanks go, the FCM 50t is perhaps one of the worst in its tier. While it has the size and lack of camouflage typical of heavy tanks, as well as a fairly standard hitpoint pool for the class and tier, it's practically armourless, not counting lucky ricochets or shots that get absorbed by the massive tracks. Its gun is also weak for heavy tank standards, being the same 90mm DCA 45 first used by the ARL 44 at Tier 6, although significantly better in terms of DPM, reload speed and aim time. Penetration is sufficient given the FCM's mobility and ability to flank and relocate quickly, but the alpha damage of 240 average per shot is anemic (the lowest among Tier 8 heavy tanks).

The FCM 50t is not a tank for beginners. As it cannot force its way through a fight with armor and firepower, players must make full use of its mobility to reach good firing positions from which to support teammates, a task luckily aided by the tank's mobility as well as gun depression, which allows it to work ridgelines while keeping a small profile. It is not especially good as a sniper, but it has enough shell velocity and accuracy to do the job reasonably well, and given its lack of survivability, engaging at mid-long range is recommended over brawling.

One should still note the unique feature of 'preferential matchmaking', in that this tank will never see Tier 10 tanks. While this is a general benefit, this also means that the FCM 50t more often will have to face the reality of the enemy team being up one actual heavy tank.

Overall, the FCM 50t is a tricky tank to do well with, having numerous weaknesses which often rear their ugly heads in battle, but does indeed have the dynamics to reward those able to exploit opportunities, engaging enemy tanks at safer distances rather than brutish close quarters brawls. If the latter is unavoidable, you may well find you would want to be in another tank, lest you are a truly experienced FCM 50t tanker.

Historical Info

One of the few surviving drawings of FCM 50t
Development started in December 1945. The vehicle was conceived as replacement for the AMX 50t and combined features typical of the pre-war French tank-construction industry as well as German innovations. The vehicle was to be equipped with an additional container trailer, equipment for underwater driving, and a demountable mine clearer. FCM 50t did not won the production contract for the next French heavy tank. Since the winning tank, ARL-44 was based on existing designs and components, including Char B1 bis suspension, it is reasonable to assume that the FCM 50t was a conceptually update of the FCM F1. The engines were to be repositioned to the rear of the hull and a single large turret replaced the twin turret concept. The turret was similar to the Tiger II inspired turret on the initial AMX 50 concept. Schneider canon de 90mm SA was to be main armament of the tank. One of the biggest differences between the FMC 50t and competing designs is a noticably longer rear engine deck. The long deck is explained by the use of two v12 engines combined with a complicated electric transmission. Staying with twin 550hp Renault V12s would have given FCM equivalent output to its competitors Maybach diesel without licencing foreign design solutions. In addition to the additional container trailer, the tank was to be equipped some very advanced features for its time like equipment for underwater driving and a demountable mine clearer. After ARL-44 won the French army contract all further development was stopped. No prototype was ever built.
