Revenge of the French Heavy: The New Somua SM is Here!

Attention fans of the French autoloading heavy tanks: Meet the new Somua SM Tier VIII! The Somua has a playstyle similar to the AMX 50 100 or AMX 50 B and a five-round clip, making it a perfect addition for fans of French autoloaders.

The Somua SM is a powerful support vehicle with an opportunistic playstyle. Time your attack perfectly and you can make your entire clip count!

Armor: While it can't compete with the most heavily armoured vehicles, it can deflect shots from same-tier vehicles. Turret armour is the strongest frontally; combine this with very good gun depression and you can easily hide the most vulnerable spots.

Mobility: The acceleration is decent, allowing you to easily keep up with most heavy tanks.

Firepower: As with French autoloaders, main firepower depends on the burst damage, and the Somua has plenty. The five-round clip can cripple or completely obliterate any enemy, and all in the time span of nine seconds. Just make sure you're safe to reload afterward.

The Somua comes in four bundles, and is the first brand-new Premium vehicle to be released for World of Tanks after the 1.0 upgrade.
