Having seen a vid by Sir Foch on the FCM 50 t and having just been paid, I thought I'd buy this and I love it already. When playing solo of course, things can go wrong quickly and you can be mobbed quickly but when given a chance and things go right, it's a brilliant tank and I've already had some monster games in it. Sir Foch describes it as really a Medium, and a Heavy in name only and I'd agree with that (what the heck do i know though?  ). The armour is not good but it does bounce from time to time and does have a decent number of damage points to deal with that. It just feels like a Medium and does Medium things and like a Medium it can snipe, flank, brawl (sort of) and is fun to play. But as ever I have a lot to learn about how to play it, how to deal with the different maps and all that sort of thing. I wondered how others find this tank, how you play it, load-out, consumables, skills and perks you train and any other good tips. Oh and the cherry on the cake is that I stuck a Union Jack on it, which should make Sqdn Ldr B and a few other Brits here smile. French tank, British Flag...lol |

I play it kinda like a Japanese or American medium. Support support support. This doesn't mean snipe, just let others take the hits.
I take common aggressive medium spots that have enough cover for the 50Ts giant ass. Arty loves you so be careful when artys in the game.

I play it with a wireless remote, (and not very well.)

I snipe a little at first. But not long range, more medium long. I flank too. I play it like my Pz4S early, and then like my Fury late game.
And to clarify, I have the Liberte, so I get a bit more aggression directed at me over the normal 50t. It makes me have to play a little more cautiously.

Whoa, you're right about Arty. They were savaging me last night and I was seeing them in clumps of threes and fours. They were quick to target me. The map cycle was in repeat mode as well. Rough night and I'm still trying to learn the tank. When it all comes together though, it's a monster.

I scroll over it on my way to the IS-6.
Kidding aside, second line heavy or heavy medium, very similarly to the Centurion(s).

vents optics and cant remember 3rd eq, view range is boss so use it. allways keep moving and play like a spotted light tank, snipe, harass and be hard to hit, be cheeky and you mostly get away with it. 100k games are common on a win and 30 on a bad loss... pen is good but use prem on tough stuff and snap shot it in before they shoot back. when they start to hide back on cheap stuff flank then hit n run. thats my style anyway and i just play it for the lols, racing lights to spotting spots and chasing down the reds lights is how i get my kicks.
i also have the libby but so much harder to play, like some1 just said people hunt that tank down so i dont use it much.
oh and train snap and smooth asap, love your gun and she'll look after you well.

I just drive around and hope for the best. When top tier you can go to easium spots and bully other easiums with a good ram, but you have to run away as soon as another tank of any kind shows up because you need to preserve your hit points for later. usually you just want to support the team. Preferably form long range.

Good vid here by Mobius Y if anyone wants to know more about this tank. I have played many games with Mobius in the FCM50t. It is a Silver minting machine. One night I made over 1 mil in Silver with it Edit: Also add Frogman in that too. Good times! |

I have a Liberte, and I do seem to get hunted down quick. So my crew usually ends up roasting marshmellows with whats left of it.
