+ | The Char G1 was a French replacement project for the Char D2 medium tank. Several prototypes from different companies were developed since 1936, but not a single one had been fully completed at the time of the Fall of France in 1940. The projects represented some of the most advanced French tank design of the period and finally envisaged a type that would have been roughly equal in armament and mobility to later World War II standard tanks of other nations, such as the Soviet T-34 and the American M4 Sherman, but possessing several novel features, such as gun stabilization, a semi-automatic loader and an optical rangefinder. | |||

The Renault G1 is a French tier 5 medium tank.
Developed from 1935 through 1940. The vehicle was comparable to the T-34 in terms of its characteristics. Among several presented prototypes, the Renault G1R project was eventually selected. The vehicle had individual torsion-bar suspension and an innovative gun-mounting scheme. A prototype was built by 1940. However, the development was stopped when France was defeated later that year.
The Renault G1 marks the end of its French medium line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Thick armour all around with sloping and side skirts
- Low aim time with the 75mm gun
- The 105mm has relatively good shell velocity compared to other howitzers
- Relatively heavy - Good for ramming other similar tiered medium and light tanks
- Top engine has reduced chance of fire
Cons:
- Slow compared to other medium at the same tier
- Stock turret cannot fit the top 75mm or 105mm
- Top 75mm has low penetration and mediocre accuracy
- Very slow turret traverse
- Leading to the ARL 44, no firepower will carry over onto the ARL which will make the grind more difficult.
Performance
Your armor will likely hold against low tiered enemies quite well, though is quite unreliable against similar or higher tiered tanks. It also comes at the price of having much worse speed and maneuverability than almost all other mediums of the same tier.
If you have the 75mm equipped, be prepared to not penetrate several shots as the gun has exactly 100mm of penetration at 100m. The APCR has poor penetration as well, with only 129mm of penetration. Heavily armored vehicles like the AT 2 will give you problems, so it is advised to equip the 105mm cannon so you can guarantee damage with High Explosive against any target you come across. Lastly, your vehicle weighs about 35 tons - be a battering ram against light tanks and other lighter vehicles. In comparison, the M4 Sherman weighs 30 tons. If you are to ram a Sherman, you are more often to be better off than the Sherman will be.
