Wonderfully awful for amphibious warfare. How many could carried on a landing ship.

@voidtempering8700 A little logic please. If these were intended for a Taiwan invasion the following issues apply. A 50 ton vehicle must be moved to Taiwan, how else would you do it except by ship. If it is an assault vehicle, you would have to have either an intact docking area to unload it from a transport ship; so it would not be useful in the initial assault landings. This means if the landings are defeated or stalled it would play no part in the combat that must succeed in order to take Taiwan. That leaves some sort of assault ship capable of landings by accross the beach. At 50 tons and that size, not many could fit into a vessel capable of doing that. These would be very tempting targets for any artillery that was operational. At that size, they would probably bog down at the landing site. All in all, I would say something like this has Russia in mind. No large water barriers like the Taiwan Straits, long established fortification along the Sino-Russian border; and potentially artillery or armored forces that could maim infantry lighter carriers.

The rear machine guns remind me of the trench clearing machine guns on tanks from between WWI and WWII.

At 50 tons and at that size, i wonder how many could actually be used in an amphibious landing.
