The French are usually at the forefront of military innovation. Like the Lebel, with it's 8 round, smokeless powder charge & the FT with it's small size & rotating turret. However they tend to stand by these early developments while others observe and refine them, that's the disadvantage of innovating & adopting the earliest generations of weaponry, that everybody learns from your mistakes.
@kevinsullivan34486 жыл бұрын
French tank development was greatly hampered by inter-branch rivalries. The Infantry wanted Infantry support tanks and didn't think the Cavalry should even exist any more while the Cavalry said only they deserved tanks and that only artillery should be available to support the infantry. This was the state of things right up to the surrender of France. And even though both the Cavalry and Infantry got tanks, they did not have a national armor doctrine. Cavalry had their doctrine and training and the Infantry had their doctrine and training and they were mutually exclusive.

"disadvantage of innovating & adopting the earliest generations of weaponry, that everybody learns from your mistakes." Except the french themselves. They never learned from their own mistakes. Or if they did, their bureaucracy completely stifled innovation. For example the lebel you mentioned, that gun wasn't innovative in the slightest, the gun itself was "created" in six months and all they did was convert a kropatchek, and the cartridge was literally 11mm gras, they necked down to 8mm because they just wanted a round NOW. These penny pinching choices absolutely hurt the french. It took about 2 years for everyone to have their own smokeless powder rifles and everyone had a better gun than the french. The lebel was practically a single shot because it was a tube loader, meanwhile everyone adopted clips. The french even until ww2 seem to have the philosophy of "it's cheap and good enough." While everyone else tried to improve themselves sometimes to a fault like Germany. It also seems like the french sorta upper echelon didn't care for the actual fighting men, like the 2 man turrets because "wow, less manpower per tank so we can have more tanks" while most other countries considered things like crew comfort and usability. Or things like they chose not to use welded armor not because they didn't know it was better, but because welders are paid more so each tank would cost more. Look at chieftains review of the panzer 3. The pz isn't that well armored, nor is it packing a huge gun. But Chieftain comments on it's relative comfort and amazing visibility comparing it to modern tanks.

American usage of the R-35. In the "The United States Army in World War II" series (the official history of the American army), volume "Operation Torch", an American rifle squad was tasked with investigating the French Foreign Legion barracks in Safi, Morocco. They come across an R-35 driving down the road. They had no bazooka, but they did have some rifle grenades. They fired one, which hit the front right quarter, penetrated and spauling killed the driver. The tank lurched to the left and hit a tree, which threw the commander forward and he broke his neck hitting the edge of the turret. The squad discussed what to do for a minute and decided to take the tank. They removed the bodies of the two dead Frenchmen. Then while one rifleman figured out how to drive it, another figured out how to load and fire the cannon and machine gun. The rest of the squad followed behind. When they arrived at the French Foreign Legion barracks, they saw two unmanned 25mm anti-tank guns outside and a stucco building with all the legionaries inside. One of the American troops spoke French and threatened to shell the building, if the French did not surrender. The garrison surrendered. The captured R-35 and rifle squad then marched all 125 French prisoners down to the beach.

Keep in mind, at the time, the majority of the axis tanks would be of PZI and PZII design While the R35 could not catch those cause it does not have the speed, It was capable of playing Gandalf vs Balrog in You can not pass, and casting flaws aside it would be fairly impervious, but of course it was not really designed as a tank vs tank vehicle but instead to be a heavy robo soldier to support the infantry up close and personal, but to various reason's that situation kinda never presented itself cause the guys in charge were planning on a re-eun of WWI for some reason and that's how they put all their pieces on the playfield. But that is pretty much how the entire blitzkrieg goes. It's a lovely story of We have everything we need to stop an invasion, now lets put it all everyplace we can so that it cant be used to stop anything :( In hindsight, it is hard to imagine when the hell those in charge were thinking exactly

Strange. They remind me of an attempt to keep out bullet splash when the tank comes under sustained rifle and machine gun fire. When a bullet hits a hard target it can break up. The fragments go all over, and some can come through a vision slit. Eye damage and other crew injuries are possible results. So your statement is the opposite of correct. The point of stopping bullet splash is to prevent yourself from being blinded. Being able to block the vision ports was a wise precaution.

The cupola inludes a PPL180 with 30º vertical fov (and guess 68º horizontal fov) that would be used by default and a estienne 114mm slit.....
