The AMX 50 Foch was created to supplement that AMX-50-100mm, but as soon as the AMX 50-120mm was produced it was dropped from development. So if they are both tier 9, will the AMX50 Foch have any use, aide from some fictional "supergun" like a 150mm cannon or something like 250mm front armor, will it have any point?
With the Tier 10 AMx 68 and 70 ton tanks having around 150-200 armor and 120mm+ cannons, how will it compete?
The Jagdtiger and Object 704 both have advantages and disadvantages over their tier 9/10 counterparts, the IS-7 and Object 704 are almost opposites

auto-loader.. wtf?
it means this thing can shoot a salvo of 6 round, retreat behind building, after done reloading start the attack again, fire 6 salvo , retreat behind building. deal such amazing amount of damage in matter of 1/3 minute. and with 200+ frontal armor nothing to worry except arty..
6 round x 120mm @ 20 sec is no JOKE
OMG

Please note that auto-loaders are not synonymous with autocannons! They simply replace the loader and make shell reloading quicker. You can expect shell load time to take about half the time it takes to reload a shell magazine.

A random forum poster mislead you.
The only thing we know is that this tank's gun will fire faster than its counterparts. There is no other information on this tank, and we likely won't get any information on it for a long while - after all, the model isn't even complete yet.

The Foch didn't have a semi-automatic loader but compensate by having way more armor than his "Heavy equivalent". 
For example the Tier 8 Autocanons de 120 (48) have 180mm of frontal armor sloped at ~35° (but paper-thin sides and rear: 40mm) in comparison to the 90mm of the AMX-50 100mm.

Bascialy it will probably get off either 3 or 6 rounds in half the time a comprable gun will, then spend the rest of the time not shooting as it is reloading
so if a gun has a ROF of 6 rounds per min it will get off 6 rounds in 30 seconds, then have a 30 second reload
so bascialy its going to be
<<if you live that long. . .
