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 capable of ignoring almost all tanks at tier 9
- Relocates easily
- High penetration and very accurate gun
Cons:
- Weak armor on sides, rear and top get overmatched by 122+ mm shells and can't bounce those at any angle
- Vulnerable to arty fire, and wide overhead silhouette does not help
- Slow aim speed, poor dispersion when moving gun
- Second gunner sits in the machine gun nest weakspot, easily leading to a reduction in gun handling even further
- Second lowest HP pool of all tier 8 tank destroyers
Performance
Consider this a buffed out AMX AC 46 in all regards except side/rear armor. On paper, it is amazing in many things. It has strong sloped frontal armor that can deflect anything below 200mm of penetration, a powerful array of effective guns that each have good to decent rates of fire and uncanny agility for its size, being one of the most mobile Tier 8 TDs. However, these initial things are bogged down considerably by a number of weaknesses.
Notably, the armor on the sides and rear is so weak that it easily gets overmatched by low tier guns. This TD is also large in both width and length, making it a juicy target for artillery and making its camo factor somewhat low. Hitting weakspots can injure crew fairly easily too, and its low HP means it won't be able to withstand such things for long. Additionally, you have trademark French dispersion and aim time on all the guns, meaning that it is difficult for you to snapshot and takes a while for you to aim at weakspots.
Nonetheless, it is an extremely capable and powerful TD in the right hands. It functions best as a mobile sniper, being able to reposition very easily. While it works wonders when being a stationary sniper, your low camo and big silhouette makes you a candid target for shellings. If you do come under fire, you can increase the difficulty of hitting your weakspots by "wiggling" your tank while reversing or stationary, not just making it hard to hit weakspots but also angling your frontal armor. Just make sure not to expose your sides too much since they will be penned now matter how much you angle them. Secure yourself a flank and rain down havoc on enemies, and when things get heated, bail out. The Sixth Sense perk makes life in this TD incredibly easier.
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.
