If this is the AMX 30 line, they’ll be fine. Yes they won’t have autoloaders, and they’ll be similar to the Leopard 1, but it’s something different, and that’s what matters.

How about “Le TOG” (since I imagine it getting a similar reputation as the TOG II)?

No it doesn’t, they’re the same tank. Hell, the B1 bis is slightly better in terms of stats, it just isn’t top tier all the time (hence why it doesn’t perform as well as the B1)

The Somua S35 was one of the most important tanks to the French war effort in 1940. They’d HAVE to get it (plus it saves them some time with modeling).

SARL 42 at tier 6, Sherman Fl 10 at tier 7, M51 at tier 8 would work entirely well. The Arabs and Israelis aren’t arriving any time soon and wouldn’t complain about their French designed tanks being used in the French tree.

French mediums?
AMX chasseur char is 34 tonnes
Sherman FL10 could be a giggle
I do see the problem in filling a tree though as I can’t really find any else

S-35 > S-40, Char G1R > SARL 42 > AMX 45 > M51 (French in design but used by Israel, can at least put it into the French line since Israel wouldn’t arrive any time soon) > AMX 30A > AMX 30B

Took what, 20 seconds?

Arguably the French model under historical stats would be more OP than the German model in certain ways, although it does have some failings otherwise.

Armor was substantially stronger historically – 47mm frontally for example – and it has -18 degrees of gun depression.

However it didn’t get the 220 horsepower engine of the S35 model, only on the S40 model, which is historical.

The most worrisome thing is the gun – in game the French SA 35 gets lower penetration than the same gun firing the same ammunition on the same tanks in the German tree for bizarre reasons, as it is with the SA 38 too. 45mm instead of 52,, alongside worse accuracy.

I also imagine that the Somua S35 will not get the ridiculously fast aiming time and gun control that the German unit gets.

So it should be balanced with better armor in exchange for worse gun control and slower speed, although I really think that the SA 35 should get its historical penetration that is found in the German tree. Same for the SA 37 for many tanks, historically it was 106mm at 100 meters rather than… 66mm.

Lel ask for M1 Abrams while your at it, AMX-30 is for popular comrades of WoT.
