Difference between revisions of "Tanks of France"

French tanks vary wildly between the tiers. At lower tiers, they are generally slow with great armor but armed with poor guns. While at higher tiers, they are very fast with almost paper thin armor and armed with great guns. Some mid to high tier French tanks have an autoloader with a drum magazine, which allow for several shots in a short period of time. Almost all French tanks suffer from having few crew members which makes for less variety when choosing crew skills or perks. Their downside is the lack of sufficient hull and turret armor at higher tiers and they are sometimes prone to engine fire.

French light tanks are slow and have thick armor at lower tiers, but they trade their armor for speed at higher tiers. They gain the ability to use autoloaders much earlier than the other French lines. Combined with their high speed and small size, they become deadly hit-and-run vehicles.

French medium tanks also have thick armor at lower tiers. At high tiers they trade their armor for extremely high speed and agility; combined with their automatic loaders, they become great support vehicles. Their paper thin armor makes them very vulnerable to SPG damage however, so keeping on the move is essential.

French heavy tanks are well armored at lower tiers, but are slow and sluggish. As the tiers rise, they become faster and more maneuverable, but trade armor for this agility. They use large caliber guns with automatic loaders, which make them very destructive. With their paper thin armor, the use of cover is essential.

French tank destroyers have relatively weak armor at lower tiers, but have good guns. Later in the line, their armor increases along with speed. However, their side armor is rather weak so it essential to have support at all times. Their guns also have great penetration values and good accuracy, so they are not to be taken lightly. Due to their size, the later designs have poor camo values.

French self propelled guns are well armored and accurate with a good rate of fire and top speed, but suffer from lower damage than their rivals.
