Now you can play the stock ARL 44 two tiers lower.

Were all French tank designers on crack while they were thinking about tanks? ARL is fucking Lisa Ann compared to this ugly turd.

  At least this has some sense of giving good view.
  ARL on the other hand had A FUCKING BARN on top of it…

    That’s WG decision though, as far as I know ARL44 never rolled with the F1′s turret IRL.
    This one on the other hand is completely historical thing.
    - Woras on February 18, 2015 at 7:06 pm said:
      
      I think I read or watched that it did have that stupid ass barn.
      - LoTHavoc on February 19, 2015 at 10:59 am said:
        
        Maybe because ARL hull was kinda loosely based on FCM F1 hull, so it would use F1 turret if it was built 6 years earlier etc. You know, historical accuracy!

        And THAT is the real “stock turret” for ARL, it was fitted with 76 mm M1A1 gun. So why is that barn used as stock turret? Maybe for teh lulz, I don’t know

      It was some testing turret.

  Yes they were, they were also eating cheese-crackers called “Crack Time” while designing tenks.

    Now because its a free France design, will we have the Roundel of France or the Criox de Lorraine? On the side
Muhamad Setiadi on February 18, 2015 at 6:23 pm said:

I gonna say it kinda cute.
Looks like something comes out from dieselpunk fictions.
- Harverato on February 19, 2015 at 2:30 am said:
  
  Yeah, I think it’s kinda cute too. Its DPM isn’t exactly great, but at least it can give some nasty surprises if it acts as a support tank or a sniper.
Zbyszko on February 18, 2015 at 6:28 pm said:

Oh, how I love those bizzare French designs. I must however say, with this armour on T4 it’s not going to bounce much… But we’ll see, wonder what’ll be on T5… Maybe some G1-series tank?
- Iron_Tsunami on February 18, 2015 at 7:15 pm said:
  
  Probably so.

Anyone else think that turret roof might be a bit bouncy due to the slope?

regiment262 on February 18, 2015 at 6:32 pm said:

Stats by themselves look nice. That turret will be atrocious when trying to use that -10 gun depression though. Idk, doesn’t look too terrible, might buy it and try it out when it comes out.
Aenaes on February 18, 2015 at 6:37 pm said:

Is it confirmed that the new high tier French mediums will be researched from AMX 13-90?
- Legiondude on February 18, 2015 at 7:04 pm said:
  
  Technically it’s not confirmed until the test server launches, but is that’s what we’ve been hearing
  - torque on February 19, 2015 at 12:07 am said:
    
    you will see it will start from amx 50/100 just to put a mess, and historically it’s true, amx 30 follows amx50/100 and bat chat , not amx 13/90
- Oberonium on February 19, 2015 at 9:48 am said:
  
  There are simly no other options.So, we don`t need to wait any confirmations.

“SARL” it sounds like “shit” in hungarian. This is going to be quite popular in our community I guess.

  I guess it gonna sound like shit in WoT as well
- Lenxor on February 18, 2015 at 6:51 pm said:
  
  Well, the “Foch”(pronounce: “fos”) means “liquid shit” in Hungarian, (outcome of diarrhea, i dont know, there’s word for this in English?)
  
  we pronounce the KV-1 as “Kávé” which means “Coffee”.

      I’m surprised no one mentioned the Renault FT BS.
Umbriellan on February 18, 2015 at 6:45 pm said:

The gun is the 75mm SA44 (L/44), because it’s too long for the 75mm APX L/32.

But the penetration value is wrong… the french 75mm L/44 has the same penetration value than the US 76mm M1 (109mm at 500m with the APC M62 shell).
In this way, the gold shell must but 140mm~~ of penetration.
————————
I love already the french low tiers, but with the Somua S35 / Somua S40 (even if they didn’t use the 3rd turret), now the SARL42 ! The last one must be the Renault G1R !
With the uchrony turret and the 75mm SA44 again as last gun.
Our french Sherman will make you cry :D

  The values were made up by soviets in 1944 or whatever bullshit WG wants us to believe.

That dpm, that speed, that armor…how can you have something more useless than a Valentine in regards to dpm?

gg in t6, you’re free exp as usual…these placeholder stats better be buffed.

Hopefully the G1′s won’t get that sort of atrocious dpm.
- Landric on February 18, 2015 at 10:13 pm said:
  
  The real question is why bother with this line at all? It doesn’t lead anywhere except back into an existing line. I suppose if you are starting fresh it is an option, but if you have already played French tanks enough to know they are free XP sinks, then chances are you have no reason to go up this half branch anyway.
lamano on February 18, 2015 at 7:44 pm said:

-Originaly a 40cal v°700/820 an equal a 76 ZIS or 76.2 destroyer
-the 44long been based on it
and be totally wasted by wg ( look at the verrin back on g1b lol )
still wait for an absurd chapter on russian project SS got some stuff ?

Brenthos on February 18, 2015 at 8:21 pm said:

I guess the Russian nickname for this one is gona be ‘Срал’, (prononced ‘sral’) which means ‘crapped’. :-)

Hi guys !
Some pics of a model SARL:
http://www.gaso-line.eu/news/gas48608.htm
SARL was a joint project of SOMUA and ARL, between 1940 and 1942. It was supposed to be built in north Africa or in some allied country…

the SARL means “Special ARL” Sure looks like it.
- Umbriellan on February 18, 2015 at 11:22 pm said:
  
  SARL 42 => S 42 + ARL
  S: Somua
  ARL: Ateliers de construction de Rueil
  
  It’s the upgraded Somua S40 with a 3-crew turret from ARL, gunned with a 75mm.
  
  Put your “special” somewhere else little guy ;)

What the hell is up with these Frenchie low-tiers and their piss-poor HP/t ratio?

Also, that accuracy doesn’t make much sense with that aim time, though as others have put it already, it’s the DPM that is complete shite

Okay so we’re getting new French tanks at tiers 2 through 5, 9, and 10…now all we need are tiers 6 through 8 to get a full branch…now I wonder what tanks could fill it. I’ll see if I could dig some stuff up SS.

Will the FCM 36 be available in the french tech tree as a tank and not a TD? I think they should move the Pak40 to the german branch for historical accuracy and make the the tank version in the french tech tree and get rid of the amx 38
