How do you kill amx-50 foch td later on in the update?
The frontal armor is 180mm thick angled become 320mm. Theres seemingly no weakspot on the front. Only the the down slope is penetrable and its easily hidden. I think you can only flank because 40mm of side armor or get lucky with artillery. Maybe people will use aa like zsu-57-2. If you know the trick,tell it in the comments pls

I'd imagine it'll be one of those tanks that is super hard to pen from the front. Nothing a bit of heat-fs can't handle though.

The cupola is only available for aphe neither the 15mm cannon. Maybe you can kill it when it goes down a slope then you can hit its top

At 6.7 in a downtier, may be a bit tough. At it's 7.7, there are a fair number of HEATFS slingers that can deal with it. At 8.7, HEATFS and APFSDS are probably going to be flying. But it can easily be delt with by a good flanker. The only trouble it may cause for flankers is the hull traverse speed it has in the dev server (though, that may change, they could be placeholder right now).

But I think the biggest threat will be aircraft making runs on its low armored top (also making it a very easy target for rockets because of the size and how flat it is) as well as its slow reload on the somewhat low to medium level crews most people will probably have. but it will probably be a fun and dangerous machine in the hands of a decent player at 6.7 or 7.7.

The frontal armor is stronger than the IS-4m front, nothing short of a 100mm HEATFS is getting through it honestly at 7.7. Hell, I doubt the T95e1's APFSDS can get through it

Well good. We need more tanks to break the "shoot first = win" meta. Composite armor is a good start.

It won't last long at 7.7 if the armour is like that, calling it now.

It's going to be 100% useless if they put it up against 9.0 tanks, I don't think it's moving past 7.7 unless they stretch the BR range further.

A lot of tanks are useless when uptiered and have to deal with it anyway. Gaijin should finally lower the +-1 BR MM range.
