Description
The 75 mm SA50 L/57 is a French tank cannon.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
The 75 mm SA50 L/57 cannon is a performant gun. It comes along with an autoloader (except for the M4A4 (SA50)) which helps reduce the reload time. The gun has a powerful penetration at its BR, except for the AMX-13 (HOT) which sits at a much higher BR was it comes equipped with ATGMs.

Comparison with analogues
The SA50 L/57 performs nearly identically to the 75 mm KwK42 upon which its development was based. The SA50 however does not enjoy the same levels of post-penetration damage as the German cannon since it lacks rounds with explosive filler.
Usage in battles
The cannons high degree of penetration allows vehicles equipped with this weapon to attack all but the toughest enemies frontally. Crucially its fast reload speed can be used to offset the low post-penetration performance of the AP shells to quickly dispatch targets. Like all autoloading tanks, however, depletion of the autoloader incurs a harsh reload penalty, and as such, its usage in protracted engagements is not advised.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High penetration power
- Assisted by an autoloader (12 rounds), except for the M4A4 SA50
- High muzzle velocity (1,000 m/s)
Cons:
- No shell with explosive filler
- Limited elevation angle due to the oscillating turret design
History
The 75 mm SA50 was developed to fulfill a requirement for a 75 mm Anti-tank gun to be mounted on the ARL-44. Although it was never adopted for this role, it was later standardized and mounted on the AMX-13, among other designs. Development sought a cannon that had comparable performance to the German 75mm KwK42, notably mounted on the Panther.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
