The 75 mm SA50 L/57 is a powerful gun. It is equipped with an autoloader (except on the [[M4A4 (SA50)]]), which gives it a competitive reload time. The combat vehicles equipped with this weapon have a high penetrating power for their battle rating, with the exception of the [[AMX-13 (HOT)]], which gets a comparatively high BR due to being equipped with second-generation ATGMs.

The SA50 L/57 has similar ballistic characteristics to the [[KwK42 (75 mm)|75 mm KwK42]] upon which its development was based. However, both penetration performance and damage effect are not identical, as other types of ammunition are used.

Thanks to the high penetrating power of the gun, vehicles equipped with this weapon can attack all but the most resilient enemies head-on. The short reload time can be used to compensate for the low damage effect of the AP grenades through fast follow-up shots to take out targets quickly. As with all tanks equipped with an autoloader, however, it takes a long time to reload after it has been depleted, so it is highly recommended to remove the tank from the direct line of sight of the enemy during longer firefights in order to refill magazines.

The 75 mm SA50 was developed to fulfil 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. The development team sought a cannon that possessed comparable performance to the German [[KwK42 (75 mm)|75 mm KwK42]], mounted on the [[Panzer V Panther (Family)|Panther]], notably.

Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell about the history of the development and combat using of the weaponry and also about it's features. Make a air or ground vehicles list on which this weapon is installed in our game.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

M4A4 (SA50)

AMX-13

AMX-13 (SS.11)

AMX-13 (HOT)

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available shells

Describe the shells that are available for the cannon and their features and purpose. If it iconcerns autocanons or machine guns, so write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns, that have firepower equal to these type of weapons.

Usage in the battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against the main opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

Cons:

Historical part

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be big one, take it into a separate article and add a link to it by using the "main" template. In the end be sure to include references to sources.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example,

  • reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
  • references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.

ETC.
