World of Tanks FCM 50 t - 7 Kills 6,8K Damage
Medals received: High Caliber, Top Gun
The FCM 50 t is a French tier 8 premium heavy tank.
Development was started in December 1945. The vehicle was conceived as an alternative for the AMX 50t and combined archaic features typical of the pre-war French tank-construction industry as well as German innovations. The vehicle was to be equipped with an additional container trailer, equipment for underwater driving, and a demountable mine clearer.
The FCM 50t is a French tier 8 premium heavy tank. It boasts preferential matchmaking that mostly sees T9 battles.
While a heavy tank in class, gun handling and size, the FCM 50t is more akin to a medium tank in terms of gun, armor and speed. This may not be to everyone's liking, and is arguably a challenging combination. It may prove particularly challenging considering how, as of 9.2 and later, the FCM gets matched against proper heavy tanks such as the IS-3 and IS-6.
Suffice to say, the FCM do not have the means to compete with these tanks in a traditional heavy tank role. Instead, you are forced to rely on mobility and an accurate gun to contribute to the battle. It would be up to the player to ensure that this mismatch in team balance is compensated by performing good in battle.
This is not news to the veteran 50t player. The FCM 'traditionally' was a tank preferred by players of above-average skill levels. In other words it was challenging but rewarding to play. Nowadays, due to changes to matchmaking, general powercreep and meta shifts, it will likely be particulary challenging except in certain circumstances. It will be up to the player to figure out a way to contribute in every match, as the tank certainly will not do so on its own.
The FCM was, alongside other PMM tanks, buffed in 1.2. This buff encompassed 25% extra horsepower, better gun depression (up to -10) and shorter reload. It's definitely a matter of personal opinion whether this corrects the abovementioned challenging role of the FCM 50t. Not all is bad, however. It's quick to get around, you will never run out of ammo, it looks really cool, and doing well leaves you with the feeling of having done particularly well. This is likely among the best tanks at pushing others uphill. It's also rather decent at using its bulk and speed to inflict damage on the enemy, unless they get a chance to track you.
Objectively, this tank may be worth it if you have the skills needed to play it, if you reckon it'll get buffed again or if the matchmaker were to change in a manner favourable to this 'reverse-heavium' hybrid.
The FCM was removed from the shop in patch 1.2, but is somewhat likely be sold again.
