Unfortunately, it makes a terrible mess of any modulation.

To avoid distortion and non-linearity, saturation can be permitted
only on the extreme peaks of the modulated driving waveform. Class-C
is ruled out. Class-B or Class-AB prevails.

My recollection is that Classes B and AB are used for AM and SSB,
while Class C works fine for CW and for FM.
