The Absolute Rarest Tank In War Thunder

I've been very interested in rare War Thunder vehicles recently, so I decided to see if I could play the rarest tank in the game, the AMX-50 Surblindé. Surprisingly, Gaijin actually accepted my request and gave me a test drive for it. The Surblindé was an event vehicle that was supposed to be about as rare as the German E-100 heavy tank, but a lot of the people who got it were banned for cheating. Much like its tech tree counterpart, the AMX-50 Surbaissé, the AMX-50 is a heavy tank with an oscillating turret and autoloading 120mm gun. The 120mm fires full-bore AP that is very similar to the shell fired by the American M103 heavy tank, but at one round every six seconds. Though the AMX-50's armor is ineffective, it is an incredibly strong sniper. It is an incredibly fun tank to play.

The Surblinde is supposed to be better armored than normal AMX 50 100 if I recall right. Then they realized the thing is well... 70 tonns, and tried to lighten it while keeping the protection and armament, hence the "Lowered", aka Surbaisse version. Or so I reckon.

To be precise on the project The AMX 50 project continue it developement of more and more powerfull turrets and guns At the same time the 50 FOCH is made to be able to host a 120 mm gun on an AMX 50 hull Then disgn is made for a copatible turret for a 120 mm ... put on a normal AMX 50 hull (so AMX 50 TOA 120) but it is considered unbalance and not armored enof so a more capable hull is made UParmored (Surblindé) (or AMX 70) our famous AMX 50 Surblindé here Then the wells and the rest is too hard to work on ... and it is too tall and heavy so it is desided to redisgne the entire tank to lower the all thing ... and with that we get the final version (witch is the one who got the closest to full production) the AMX 50 Surbaissé (overlowered)

I had no idea this was so rare. I bought mine off the market the first week you could n spent like 140. Loved the French tech tree at the time and this was a blast. Been much better since it was dropped down to 7.7. I think it fits in better with the line up.

Wish the T54E1 would be moved down to 7.7. Its pretty similar. No armor, faster reload but a smaller gun. Its ok at 8.0 but it faces fully stabilized stuff almost constantly and it kinda suffers because of it.
Try out the ASU-85. Same gun as the Obj 906, but with double the reload, at 6.3. Not too quick, but you get scouting and can pen just about anything frontally. I've only had problems penning the Jagtiger, T95, T28, and the Strv 103 (in full uptiers with my 6.7 lineup).

I remember this event but never really grinded for it because I knew it was basically the same tank as the normal amx-50. Every time I get killed by an amx 50 I always double check its name to see if its a surblinde. Haven't seen one yet and never actually knew how rare this tank is. I feel like no one actually remembers this event and im the only one who double checks amx50s to see if its a surblinde.

I bought mine for 80 awhile ago, I probably should have bought two
The same 3 map thing definitely tracks. I was doing low tier arcade with a friend who is brand new and I think we got Sinai 8 times, Poland 2 times and frozen pass once. Then the next day it was just Stalingrad 8 times in a row
They should bring back certain event vehicles as like a seasonal thing as a throwback type deal.
love the way the round passed through the IS-3 turret but there was no spalling lol
I love these one-liners spookston says from time to time, idk the way he said "The situation is sub optimal" made my day.
Speaking of T-44s being tanky, I had a normal T-44 eat two 128mm rounds from the Maus aimed at the body and cheek a few days ago. After it survived those shots, it killed my main gun so I just J'd out and put WT down for the day.
that bomb drop at 5:23 and the "oh" make me chuckle so bad 🤣
It was so stupid that this tank was 0.3 higher br than the surbaisse for a bit

This showcase really made me sad I didn't try to get the tank. Looks like an absolute funhouse!

Yeah nothing makes me scream more when you get T-55AM1's and IS-4M's. I dread when I have to fight them but starting to know their weaknesses at the very least like the Maus armor.

Wow! I own this tank. Didn't know that it was so rare but it's a nice tank in the french lineups.
I know what you mean on the map rotations, it feels like we have been missing a few maps lately, also did anyone notice whiterock fortress is gone? i’ve been playing naval all through the event and air before that so I was quite surprised to find that they removed it
"Very surprised that we are still alive." -bomb whistle- "Oh."
“Very surprised that we are still alive…? …Oh.” 5:10. Loved that hahaha
That part about the map rotation is very real, I got the TOW rat (Wiesel 1A2, play it sometime?) and while I had no thermals I kept getting night maps. Unlocked thermals, not a single night map.
You survive veing bombed in stalingrad and most of your modules get knocked out: this situation has become suboptimal
"You know, im suprised we're still alive..." *bomb drops* *"o h"*
All i know, is with the Super bias.... I just center mass anything with the 120 and it dies. Solid shot detonates ammo 12/10 times. Easily my favorite gun in the game.
Would like to see some love for the Type 10 or 16. Genuine fun out of the ‘16 with the crisp thermals, and decently survivable vs some autocannons. Haven’t got the Type 10 yet but I’m on the way to it. The 500mm ufp seems like fun to have.
Me seeing a Amx 50 Surbaisse in 6.7 Me: casually watching the game chat with death every 10 seconds

Would want to try play the Australian centurion? Its something I missed out on going through my cancer treatment but I always enjoy watching over people play.
This tank: what is nice the commander also has a 20mm AC Many other tanks cry: their main gun is a 20mm
best advice i have for the 120 AP is to just play enough and get used to the supremely funky overmatch it's capable of
I saw one of these in my King Tiger, whipped around and killed it without a thought and only realized later what it was.
The T26E1-1. I just love the sheer grunt ingenuity that went into it. Hey let’s just cut the armor of that German tank and add it to ours.
I managed to get my surblinde awhile back when it was on the market place. I got a chest and received some kind of shitty panther, and just used that to sell and trade for the AMX-50.
Spook when he plays a 7.7 vehicle: gets full down tier, very little heavy tanks, not too much CAS Me when I play a 7.7 vehicle: Magically gets put in 9.0, gets bombed by drones and cant pen anything as everything seems to have infinite armor P.S. Spook, plz play the C13 T90!
Now that I've seen you struggle to kill that IS4m I don't recall you making a video on it, maybe you would enjoy some trolly armour.
Yeah I don't know what's up with high-caliber AP and APDS shells, but I feel like they do more spall when striking at longer ranges, where point blank just goes trough or simply don't pen.
For Su 122 about halfway through, Ive had it many times where Im killed by someone I never saw, often times when I was looking directly at where they were in the kill cam, because they just didn't render on my client even at CQB distances.
Play the premium Jagdpanther? I find it great fun to play, even in an uptier. Managed to take out a plane with the 88 once lol. Or the ASU-57 is always a laugh. Sneaky flanking fun.
Is there a way to get event tanks after
I would like to hear your opinion on both the Porsche Tigers (the one with and without zimmerit I can't remember their names).
It's a good thing there are rare vehicles like this, people should get rewarded for grinding an event and getting a one time prize so they could feel special, wish I played back then
This is a tank I remember grinding for, getting it, didn’t really like the French tech tree so sold it and got the Russian moon tank instead
That intro, though...for a few seconds, I thought I was watching DOLLARplays! LOL Yeah, would be nice if they'd do some of these old vehicles as a reward. Maybe make you choose between the rare vehicle and another good vehicle for event or battle pass. Would still keep it artificially rare, which Gaijin seems to want...but still give people a chance.
Could you try the amx 50 toa 100 ? This one at 7.3 is a lot of fun.
