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.

AnnoF07_AMX_M4_1945.png

1395000

The AMX M4 mle. 45 is a French tier 7 heavy tank.

Development of this heavy tank started in 1945. The vehicle incorporated several design features of the Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Tiger II tank. The vehicle existed only in blueprints. Later the AMX M4 (1945) became a prototype for the AMX 50 100.

The AMX M4 1945 can be considered an evolution of the ARL 44's playstile, as it now boasts an upgraded armor, proper track defense and carries about the same type of weapons as the ARL, with an even greater advantage: the guns, specially the 90mm DCA 45 will feel much more nimbler, faster at aiming, better reload and about the same accuracy. The mobility will remain about the same until you research the top engine that will result in great flexibility to adverse situations.

Mind that this tank is best played as a long or medium range sniper, since its sides are still weaker than most, and adapting to this tank will greatly help for the oncoming high-end part of the rest of the french line, as they have similar playstile with excellent guns but unreliable armor.

The AMX M4 mle. 45 leads to the AMX 50 100, and the AMX 65 t.

Historical Info

The end of WW2 left the French Army with no modern tanks carrying a heavy armament. The ARL 44 was being developed, but this vehicle, though to be armed with a powerful 90 mm gun, could hardly be called modern, and its suspension system was completely obsolete. Therefore in March 1945 the French industry was invited to design a more satisfactory vehicle. That same year the AMX company (Atelier de Construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux) presented its projet 141, a project to build the so-called M 4 prototype, armed with a 90 mm Schneider gun.

Development history

The M 4 closely resembled the German King Tiger in general form, though the turret was to be made of welded sections; but to limit the weight to a desired thirty metric tonnes the proportions were rather smaller and the armour had a maximum of just thirty millimetres. Like the later German tanks of the war it had, in this case eight, overlapping road wheels. Part of the project was to study whether a modern torsion bar suspension should be used or the height lowered by ten centimetres through a fitting of leaf or coil springs. Unfortunately, while copying German idea of overlapping suspension wheels, French engineers had no idea why German engineers had used this maintenance heavy solution. The Germans were motivated by a shortage of high quality rubber, necessitating large road wheels to lower tyre tension, which were then made to overlap in order to better distribute the load pressure. As France had no trouble obtaining rubber of the desired quality, this feature was superfluous. Two prototypes of the M 4 were ordered, but the Army soon indicated that a protection level of thirty millimetres was unacceptably low. In response, the armour was increased and it was decided to install a novel oscillating turret which resulted in the first prototype under the designation of AMX 50. No prototypes under original M 4 specification were produced.
