There is one Heavy French tank you haven't mentioned. The one that started the whole family. The heaviest of them all, and one of the biggest tank ever created : The FCM 2C. That's one beast I would love to see in the game someday.
"A single B1 could destroy several Panthers" Uhh, Bruce, you do mean Panzer, right? I don't think the B1 would stand much of a chance against a Panther.
@@paullyon1240 hey read what I just said again. Yes, it could kill the early Pz. IVs, but Bruce said Panther. The Panther is something...very different.
@@yubisnake leclerc is not that bad, you're pretty well armored but the problem is that the german L55 is just completely overpowered and the maps sizes are ridiculous
Battle of Stonne with a B1bis commanded by Billote, against a German panzer column and anti-tank guns on the outskirts of the city. Later the Germans took over the city (which often changed hands) and a second B1 entered the city at night (or the next day, don't remember exactly). He stuck his track lengthwise in a trench full of German, and he made German lasagna. He win the name of "Butcher of Stonne".
Honestly the early-war designs are the most interesting. I have a special love for the B1-ter. I don't think any tank in the game looks anywhere near what the B1 does. The AMX-13 F11 is also a very fun scout tank.
The AMX-50 Surblindé is actually my favorite tank, I just wish there was a way to get it without emptying my wallet since Gaijin wasted it on the worst event they ever made...

I honestly wish they bring back the Lorraine 155 available to research in the tech tree. I find this tank so good and so awesome. French doesn't have a lot of howitzers (M4A3 105). I wanted to use it as an artillery support tank, with the help of a scout. Could be fun.
The Somua is easily the best purchase I have ever made on this game (Sadly I have made alot) I promise you wont regret it, the thing cant take a hit and the auto loader reloads 2x faster than anything it faces. Just remember, you only have about 9 shots before you must wait a good 2 mins for a clip reload. but shots do reload while you idle.
@@TheSlyRat32 I'd go for the 90mm. And I didn't know that. Maybe if you go in and out of cover, only exposing your front plate most of the time and just focus on keeping the turret safe, you might stand a good chance.

My favorite is definitely the FCM F1, a twin-turret beast which was a development from the great war era Char 2C. It obviously didnt advance past a wooden mockup due to the outbreak of the war. This vehicle would be an interesting addition to war thunder.
3:14 1 b1 could kill several panthers?! What version of HOI4 are you playing that the French can kill multiple tanks made in 1943 in a 1934 tank in 1940?
"General jean-Baptiste Destin, the creator of the french tank arm, who believed that the battlefields of tomorrow would be dominated by heavy, versitile medium tanks" well, he certanly wasn't wrong
Why is the AMX 50 usin the wrong turret? (I know 2 versions were shown off but the one the french army adopted was the rework of the AMX M4 turret). Also how come the Schnider 90mm SA-45 and SA-47 (found on the ARL-44 and AMX M4) are not as powerful as their real life version both of which out performed the german 8,8 cm Kwk 43 (found on the Tiger II) in fire power (Also in IRL both the ARL-44 and the AMX M4 used APCBC rounds instead of APC).
