I found an AMX-50 build so I turned it into this.

Lore
In the early 1980s, the Duchess of United Lukrativsten visited France. Duchess Astrid visited France to discuss different projects for different industries like the military. Fenrir Industrie were offered a blueprint of the abandoned AMX-50 Foch project on a visit to a factory. For the prototype, the engine was buffed to an LEC (Longyearbyen Engine Corporation) 3,650 horsepower (@5462 rpm) quad-turbo Diesel H12, and rearmed with a 105mm cannon for weight savings and to slow the ammunition shortage happening at the time. Armed Forces were not too happy with test results, so an M3 12.7mm machine gun and a C3 Anti-Concrete 50mm belt-fed gun was fitted on with the 105mm cannon being bumped up to a 155mm artillery howitzer. With it, it had a cargo bay added to it to help deploy infantry, carry and save wounded soldiers. Its reload time is around 8 seconds (quick for its caliber), fed by 2 loaders with the ammunition manually “ejected” into an autoloader and a loader pushing the rounds into the breech. Blast doors are fitted behind the turret to prevent cookoff and saving the crew from the detonation of the propellant. The length of the barrel allowed the rounds to contain the propellant inside the round, and the penetrator being filled with potent explosives, all of which are easily obtained. The armor is very thick (front: 1250mm, side: 800mm, rear: 925mm), making it able to withstand its own 155mm round. The M1A2 Abrams’ frontal armor of 700+ mm is unable to hold against the howitzer, even with depleted uranium. The tank is currently in service and has been in service since 1991, of which around 750 (5 extra incomplete ones) were made through 2010 and all of which to be retired in 2075. All tanks have served in Afghanistan, devastating Taliban, ISIS, and al-Qaeda targets, and the internal wars in Africa, the Middle East, and Myanmar/Burma have seen the Drauger. However it has not seen any action in Ukraine or Israel.
Yet.
