It was also sometime thought to help with heat rounds ..

LOL, that is a very, very, very, pitiful 'super heavy' tank...13-45mm......could the french build a tank with any signifcant amount of armor?  The BiS was not heavily armored...it just faced Panzer IIIs and IIs at the time, so it seemed like it was, same goes for the T34/76......

By 1921 standards, it was one of the most heavily armored tanks of its day.  The British MKVIII's (remember Indiana Jones) thickest armor plating was 16mm.

That French tank likely would have been very intimidating with its super thick front armor (relatively) and big ol' gun.


I just don't think they had developed the type of anti-tank guns necessary to penetrate thick armor reliably yet.

The picture in the lee looks like the crew is fleeing and is about to explode.

That, or they just saw three AMX 13/90's coming their way, and said "Screw MM, I'm outta here!".

Here are a few more.

Funny how all the lee photos seem to have the crew bailing out of them. ;p

Sweet Pics +1

Very nice.  Thanks for sharing guys.

This is PRON!!! reported

Many of those are new to me, nicely done
Its like hollywood thought the M3 was an APC not a tank. Maybe thats where the Canadians got the idea for the kangaroo.
I wonder if the ausies resent Canadians taking the name kangaroo?
