 In the late 1940s, the French Army sought to replace its aging medium tanks with a new 50-ton medium tank that would serve as the main asset in armoured divisions. The French company AMX initially proposed an under-armoured version of the Tiger II tank with 30 mm plates, but after feedback from the army, the armour was enhanced to 80 mm in the front and 40 mm on the sides. Changes were made to reduce weight in other aspects of the tank, such as introducing a new oscillating turret and redesigning the suspension wheels. The first prototype, named M4, featured a 90 mm SA47 gun and was slightly over 50 tons. A second prototype with a 100 mm SA 47 L/50 gun led to the development of the AMX-50 tank.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is the sturdiest representative of French rank IV vehicles, from which it shares some common features: good mobility, an oscillating turret (fitted with an autoloader), sloped armour in front and back, high hull, high gun placement, good gun depression, 4 crew member, a coaxial MAC 31 machine gun and large tracks. What distinguishes the AMX M4 is its [[Panther D|Panther]]-like hull, its efficient 90 mm SA47 gun developed from the [[ARL-44]] and the thickest armour pattern of all French ground forces with 80 mm sloped at ~55° in the frontal area.

 Post-war French designs are all very good at moving around: they have good engines, wide tracks and can easily achieve ~40 km/h offroad. The {{PAGENAME}} may be the worst of them all, on par with the [[AMX-50 (TOA100)]] as they share a very similar hull; but they still have above average mobility, when compared to other medium tanks at the same BR.
 With a speed of 50 km/h and nice acceleration, the AMX M4 can quickly relocate to anywhere on the map, giving it an advantage over most other tanks. The player should favour straight routes and/or minimal uphills when moving, to maximise speed throughout the manoeuvre.
 The reverse speed of -20 km/h is fast enough for short range retreats and relocating, but for long range it is still best to turn the hull around.

 The gun has exceptionally good armour penetration for its rank, exceeding even that of the [[KwK 43 (88 mm)|8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun]] used on the [[Tiger II (Family)|Tiger II]], allowing the AMX M4 to effortlessly penetrate the front of the toughest nuts around this BR, such as the Tiger II, [[T29]], and even the [[Maus]] at close range! This firepower advantage is further exaggerated by its autoloader, providing a fast reload of 6.7 seconds until the 7-shot magazine is empty, a very good rate of fire for the BR. All French medium rank IV tanks share this good reload rate, this is their most prominent selling point.
 The 90 mm only fires solid-shot armour-piercing rounds like most French tanks of this period. However, the fragmentation effect of these larger shells is much greater than the long 75 mm gun of the [[AMX-13]] and is sufficient for one-shot kills on most enemy vehicles with careful aiming. It is also recommended to bring a few rounds of high-explosive shells to deal with lightly armoured vehicles (e.g. [[Pbv 501]], [[M53/59]], [[M50]], etc), especially since the autoloader speeds up the ammo-switching process.

 At its BR, 80 mm of sloped frontal armour might be sufficient to endure close range fights (as long as it is facing the correct enemy with its frontal armour). But what this tank is really good at is, as any other French rank IV, sniping: a very good gun, great depression and fire rate make it very deadly.
 Beyond its armour head-on, the oscillating turret and autoloader on top of its mobility provide a tactical edge in engagements, ensuring rapid and precise responses. This technological enhancement transforms the tank into a formidable force during flanking manoeuvres, allowing for a rapid succession of shots followed by a tactical withdrawal. While this dynamic manoeuvre adds a layer of unpredictability to its tactics, it introduces the vulnerability of exposing the tank's comparatively weaker side armour.

Then if the turret or hull is at a good flat angle to you, target the flat armour. Try to maintain a rough distance of 150-400m, as too close it would be very easy for the Maus to angle and render the AMX M4's shots useless, and too far the penetration of the 90 mm SA47 gun will drop below the point where it can go through the Maus' frontal turret. Lastly, call an artillry strike on a disabled Maus, and ping it on the minimap for your teammates.
