Comparing: AMX 50 Foch (155) vs. Object 268 Version V

In 1952, with the launch of the AMX 50 120 tank project, the French discontinued development of the AMX 50 Foch tank destroyer. A tank destroyer having the same 120-mm gun armament as the tank was thought to be unnecessary. There were attempts to upgrade the main gun to 155 mm, but these efforts were abandoned as France made moves to adopt standardized NATO equipment.

A tank destroyer based on the Object 730 (T-10) tank. Developed in the early 1950s. The project allowed a gun to be mounted in a rotating turret, enabling all-round horizontal fire. Most ammunition was placed in the rear of the turret in order to improve crew operating conditions. The project was cancelled, because expensive and complicated modifications of many basic components were required.
