Following testing, the AMX M4 mle. 49 Liberté had its profitability increased by 10% and received a thicker hull roof (45 mm).
Liberté Strengths
- Thick-skinned: 180mm hull armor with an impressive 250mm in its upper and 266 mm in its lower parts. Its thick turret (250mm) lets you withstand a beating from the majority of tanks if you’re at the top of the list.
- Hull-down master: The elevation arc of −10/+20 is another boon to the tank’s overall survivability. It’s a perfect vehicle to fight from behind hills; keep the well-protected front of the tank pointed at incoming fire, shrugging off almost anything they can throw at you.
- Hard-hitter: Equipped with 100mm SA 47 gun, this French newcomer can tear through 232mm with armor piercing rounds. Although it comes with no autoloader, the gun has retained all of its other strengths: nice depression, decent accuracy and aim time.
- Light-footed: The AMX M4 mle. 49 Liberté’s good power to ton ratio, decent acceleration, and a cruiser speed of 35–38 km/h, mean you’ll have time to secure your position.
- Rakes in Credits: Great penetration with AP shells makes for impressive DPM and will have the credits rolling in. You’ll only have to switch to Premium shells in extreme cases.
Liberté Weaknesses
- Soft sides: Liberté's side armor doesn't compare to its practically impenetrable front. Avoid corner maneuvers and side scraping; use hull-down positioning to maximize your survivability and otherwise keep the front towards the enemy.
- Watch out for artillery: HE shells from a top-tier SPG can flatten you like a crêpe.
Liberté Play Style
If it's near the top of the team make-up in queue, the Liberté is a universal soldier. It excels at leading the charge -- or, if hanging back is more your style, you can pick off opponents from afar or at mid-range. As always, analyze the line-up and choose the best actions for you and your team.
Don’t engage at close range without proper backup from the team. Liberté has a rather long hull and isn’t quite fit for a deadlock. As the Beatles said, it’s always nicer to get by with a little help from your friends -- especially true when you decide to get up close and personal.
If you sit more in the middle of the roster, or if you engage tier X tanks, don’t rush into the open. Instead, sneak behind indestructible cover like hills and cliffs to protect the hull from fire. Avoid going too far into enemy ranks while the battle is in full swing. Stay at the second or third line of fire, depending on what kind of heat the enemy team is packing. Find a decent position to provide much-needed support from the rear. You’ve got a powerful enough gun to really shake up the battlefield.
