The reload rate is the only thing the 120mm AP gun has going for it.

+1, but I think the Surbaisse should be the one in the folder since this is basically just better and uses the already familiar AMX-50 hull
YES +1! I need more big baguette autoloaders in-game!

A +1 from me, more AMX-50s are always appreciated
Are there any more French tanks with the oscillating turret that we could get?
It is also an autoloader. There was no particular order of reload - so it was up to the crew’s choice whether they should use the bustle or drum autoloader first, both of them were basically seperate mechanisms aswell. From what i know, atleast.

Yes, the AMX-50 that was supposed to go in production, which has the AMX-50 100 mm’s hull and Somua SM’s turret. The AMX-50 with Lorraine turret currently in-game is some vehicle assembled for a parade.

Interesting!
Would be a nice way to reintroduce french heavies to people who didn’t had chance with the Surblindé.
But since I’m egoist, I’m more of it being event.
we are missing 4 variants for AMX 50, we could get ELC Even 30 and 90, ELC Lorraine iirc also had oscillating launcher

The AMX 50 “Surblinde” (TO 120) should share the same 5s reload rate and capacity (17), as both the TO 120 and TOA 120 turrets shared the same autoloader. As can be seen by your documents.
The name itself should also be AMX-50 (TOA 120) to match the current in game naming scheme.

then we gotta see AMX M4 be renamed to AMX M4 (TO90) as there was TO100 version too
I’d rename it to AMX 50 (TO 90) if I had a say.
M4 and 50 are not the same

but in fact, AMX 50 TO90 did exist… until like 1987, when it was scrapped to fund Saumur museum… F

Yes. They very much are… And it shouldn’t be a surprise…
The two are the same just as the Ferdinand and Elefant are the same, or the IS-122 and IS-2 are the same. The M4 name was used between 1945-1950, but it faded out of use in documents over simply referring to the tank as the 50 tonne medium tank (by AMX).
