Char de 65T

Yep, this is a 65 ton French heavy. As far as I know, this is the only drawing available for it.

Char 65T

Basically, what you have here is a nice, German-influenced tank (just look at the suspension) from 1950. A 1000hp Maybach engine, maximum speed of 40 km/h, 300km operation radius. It’s big, really big. Overall it looks really… post-war French.

    • Yes sir. The model’s new though obviously. And it’s a nice one. Interesting part is the armor – the turret armor is not listed so they just tweaked it for balance purposes. Very nice.

      • was it really a different proposal for the AMX-50 program? I’ve seen “everyone and their mothers” posting about that and sure we can find online some “sources” confirming that but is it really?
        I know that Yuri P. said he had enough information on 20 different (his exact words were enough for 2 heavy tank lines, at least one from tier 2 to 10) french heavy tanks designs and some were different AMX-50 prototypes/proposals but he didn’t mention the 65t as one of those, one of the other AMX-50s seems to be a uparmored version called “surblindé” or something
        so, how wrong is all of this?
