Renault UE 57 was a prototype vehicle built by the forces of Free French Forces commanded by Charles de Gaulle in exile, while France was under German occupation. Developed in England 1943, the design was very crude, and it can hardly be justified even when taking into consideration the lack of funds and resources Free French Forces were suffering from. Essentially, it was a Renault UE artillery tractor with the small lightly armored superstructure on the rear of the vehicle. Main armament was to be British ''Six pounder'', 57 mm anti tank gun which was at the time already obsolete. Only one prototype was ever built, which was to serve as a demonstrator for the eventual small series manufacture. After the disappointing trials, all further development stopped, and all production plans were cancelled. After cancellation the armament was removed, and the vehicle was converted back to the artillery tractor. | Renault UE 57 was a prototype vehicle built by the forces of Free French Forces commanded by Charles de Gaulle in exile, while France was under German occupation.

- Very fast rate of fire
- Very good accuracy
- Great view range
- Good speed and acceleration for a Tier 3 TD, similar to the SU-76

- Worthless armor
- 6-pounder gun can only fire AP and APCR rounds
Performance
Recently nicknamed "the Rat" as it literally can fit into even the smallest of hiding places without getting spotted and keep hitting the enemy with a very fast firing 6-Pounder Gun. Its low profile greatly helps this tank as even the BT-7 will have to aim down on you once you are spotted.
This tank can be a lot of fun to play, but it has a very steep learning curve and is unforgiving if you try to step outside of its role as a sniper. If you try to fight at close range, you will die very quickly and very painfully. To use this tank to the best of its abilities, keep these things in mind:
- You have great accuracy, a good rate of fire, and a very good view range. Stay far back and wait for the enemy to expose themselves, then pick them off from long range. In maps where there are large open spaces, your 400m view range and very stealthy characteristics can let you serve as a great sentry, but otherwise, stick to sniping.
- Never let the enemy get in close. Your armor is paper-thin and you don't have that many hit-points, so you're extremely vulnerable to enemy fire. Also, you're so light in weight that ramming attacks will almost always kill you. Stay in the second line and try to keep some teammates between you and the enemy.
- DO NOT GO OFF ON YOUR OWN. Your speed and traverse are good enough to let you shift position in a hurry, but not good enough to keep you from being circled with ease if enemy tanks surround you.
Early Research
- Unlike many vehicles in the game, your stock suspension has a very good load limit. Because of this, you don't necessarily need to research the suspension first.
- Researching the Renault ACL engine is inexpensive and worthwhile.
- The best strategy for researching might be to keep grinding to unlock the 6-pounder, using any free XP you manage to accumulate along the way to research the suspension and radio upgrades.
