Crew:

Commander (Radio Operator)
Driver
Gunner
Loader

Advantages:

Very strong frontal hull plate that is immune to most regular AP rounds at normal angles
Accurate gun with significantly improved handling compared to the AC 48 while retaining autoloader
Good maximum straight-line speed with good acceleration, can keep up with some mediums and reposition well
Low profile with fairly decent camouflage values
No stock grind, top engine and suspension aren''t needed

Disadvantages:

Very weak side/rear/roof armor even with the buff in update 9.20, large weakspots negate the frontal protection
Lowest per-shot alpha of any Tier 9 tank destroyer (tied with the Tortoise), suffers badly on bounced shots
The gun is a better handling version of the Tier 8 and underwhelming across the board for that Tier increase vs. competition

Tank description:

The AMX 50 Foch is a French tier 9 tank destroyer.From the late 1940s to the early 1950s, France was developing heavy tank destroyers. This project was developed under the influence of German tank destroyers of WWII. The vehicle featured a 120-mm gun. At least one prototype was built, which took part in the military parade in Paris on July 14, 1950. Never saw mass production.A progressive update of the AC Mle 46 and 48, the 50 Foch continues to follow the ''all-or-nothing'' trend by focusing all its effective armor and firepower into a narrow frontal arc. It has thicker frontal armor than the AC 48, and is also rid of the useless anti-aircraft turret that the AC 48 is cursed with. The aim time of the 120 mm gun is also much improved with a somewhat higher rate of fire. Unfortunately, it still shares many of the same weaknesses that the AC 48 had, and the 120 mm gun is underwhelming at Tier 9, especially since many heavy tanks at that tier get similar guns. In general, the Foch has suffered from power-creep at the higher tiers, to the point where it can be considered the worst Tier 9 tank destroyer in the game.The AMX 50 Foch leads to the AMX 50 Foch B.
