The AMX AC mle. 48 is a French tier 8 tank destroyer.
A draft project of a heavy tank destroyer, developed in 1947–1948 under the influence of the Jagdpanther. The vehicle was to feature a 120 mm gun as the main armament. The distinctive feature of the vehicle was three 20 mm MG 151/20 machineguns, mounted on top of the fighting compartment and rear. Existed only in blueprints.
A major overhaul after the Mle 46 experience, the Mle 48 presents something of an 'all-or-nothing' approach to its capabilities. Capable of ignoring guns with less than 240 penetration without consequence if they are in front of it, the 48 can be devastated by a gun with only 20 penetration anywhere else. With a gun possessing enough penetration, DPS, and DPM to intimidate any tank at its tier and remain a threat in ones above it, it has frustrating gun handling characteristics and is quite difficult to bring to bear on threats quickly. It is a mix of extremes, combining good mobility, zero survivability, strong yet conditional protection (in one direction), good firepower, and horrific comfort to create a tank that can be difficult to understand, but if applied with a deft touch is more than capable of reducing an opposing force to corpses.
The AMX AC mle. 48 leads to the AMX 50 Foch.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good sloped front armour
- Relocates easily
- High penetration
Cons:
- Vulnerable to arty fire, and wide overhead silhouette does not help
- Weak sides get overmatched by 122+ mm shells and can't bounce those at any angle
- Second gunner sits in the machine gun nest weakspot, easily leading to a reduction in gun handling even further
- Slow aim speed, poor dispersion
- Second lowest HP pool of all tier 8 tank destroyers
Early Research
- Since the stock suspension can hold a lot of weight, players should equip the 100mm gun, upgraded radio and the top engine.
- Then grind the 120mm to greatly increase alpha damage and penetration.
- Lastly, the suspension should be upgraded to increase the top speed and traverse speed.
