AMX-50 Surbaissé — A Mighty French Autoloader

As a French main battle tank, the AMX-50 Surbaissé is unique, large, and imposing, which is not true of all tanks. It was originally a medium tank, then became a heavy tank, and settled as a main battle tank. AMX-50 vehicles were developed shortly after World War II and replicated many German design features, including Maybach engines. This project was hamper by its fluctuating weight and ever-changing role, eventually leading to its demise. The AMX-50 was developed during WWII. It was one of the world’s most formidable tank forces before falling under German occupation. As a result of Germany’s invasion, France’s progress slowed, but it continued to develop tanks in secret. Several firms assisted with this, including Laffley and Lorraine. Get more information by visiting our website.
