The FT17c is an up-gunned FT17 armed with a 37mm SA18 gun allowing it to more effectively engage enemy armoured vehicles.

The Renault FT17 saw its first action in May 1918. Featuring a fully rotating turret, the FT17 set the benchmark for many other tanks to follow. In 1940, its performance was similar to the Panzer I. The FT17 was fielded by a few Corps Tank Groups in 1940.

Built by the société des Forges et Chantiers de la Mediterranée, the FCM36 is a light, infantry support tank. The FCM36 has all-round sloped armour that improves its Reaction to 7D. The FMC 36 is limited by its One-Man Turret and 37L21 gun.

The Renault R35 forms the majority of France’s armoured units, but it’s a flawed design. While intended to be a light, two-man tank it’s slow, although well-armoured. Like many French tanks, it has a One-Man Turret which reduces its combat abilities. Some tanks were rearmed with a 37mm SA38 L/33 gun in May/June 1940 and classified as the Renault R39. As these were restricted to company and platoon commanders, they made no appreciable difference to the performance of the R35 platoon.

The majority of R35 tanks platoons were not fitted with radios. The 507th Regiment de Chars de Combat of the 4th DCR was the only unit to have radios.

The Char 2C is the largest tank of World War Two and was developed as a breakthrough tank. Development started in 1917 and they were first were produced in 1921. The Char 2C has a crew of 12 and has a three-man turret. Obsolete by 1939, only eight Char 2C tanks were used during the Battle of France.
