?{{TankData+#REDIRECT [[Tank:F34_ARL_V39]]
?|The ARL V39 requires patience to come into play, as it doesnt have the armor to withstand frontal shots, but instead gains superior mobility than its predecessors, the gun traverse may seem a downgrade a first coming from the magnificent S-35CA, but instead it gains better gun handling and reload to compensate.+
? +
?A good strategy for this tank is to see where the main force is heading and either assist them from a reasonable distance or by selecting a defensive position and wait for a prey, the ARL V39 doesnt have puncturing accuracy, but it can use the well proven and powerful 105 mm Canon from the S-35CA or the 90 mm DCA 45 AC with the best gun penetration values for its tier and adequate accuracy.+

?Although this tank may seem nice from the statistics, it unfortunately isn't until it has been fully researched. You should have the 105 and the short 90 from the [[S-35 CA]], and a gun from the Somua. If you don't have both of these, you'll want to get them from the S-35 CA. You can't equip either of these guns until you have researched the suspension for a bit over 5000 EXP, and you'll be doing so with the stock tier 3 gun.+

?It's sometimes called the "Nerf Football" due to its football shaped hull and long upgraded gun.+

?Many players prefer the 105mm Cannon over the DCA-45 as the accuracy with the french tanks isn't that great. The 105mm can deliver high alpha damage, while the DCA-45 alpha can seem insufficient and rather picky at critical times.+

?|InTheGame_research=+
?* The ER 53 radio carries over from the S-35 CA and can be installed immediately. The Canon de 105 mle1930 Schneider AC and 90 mm canon DCA 30 AC guns also carry over, but require additional weight capacity.+
?* Research the upgraded suspension first, as you can't mount anything without it.+
?* Next research the Renault T14 engine.+
?* Go from there.+

?[[image:ARL_V39_canon_retracted.jpg|thumb|200px|left|ARL V39 with the canon in retracted position]]+
?In the middle of 1935, France started the development of a new assault self propelled gun, and two companies responded with their suggestions. Somua (Société d'Outillage Usinage Mécanique et d'd 'Artillerie) started a project that was to become the Somua SAU S40, and ARL (Atelier de Construction de Rueil) developed the ARL 39V prototype.+
? +
?The ARL V39 heavily relied on the parts developed for, and used by the Char B1 tank. Its frontal armor had a maximum armor thickness of 50 mm. Its main armament was a 75 mm APX gun; a modification of the model 1292 de Casemate gun originally developed for destroying fortifications. The gun had a semi-automatic breech, automatic charging machine and a very odd feature; its main gun could be retracted inside the hull to decrease the vehicle length. The ARL V39's secondary equipment consisted of a 7.5 mm machinegun placed in the small turret on the roof, which was similar to the competing Somua SAU-40 vehicle. The development was officially finished in 1938, and army field trials were conducted between 23 and 25 March, 1939. The French army was satisfied with the performance of the new vehicle, and approved the start of its serial production. +
? +
?The numbers vary from source to source, but apparently between 72 and 80 vehicles were ordered in the first series, together with 24 command vehicles. The fall of France stopped all production plans, and only two prototype vehicles were built. Both prototypes were evacuated to Morocco, but their fates remain a mystery. +
