They just all have bad experiences on FH1 Counterattack when those french tanks pwned the crap out of the german ones.

People can say what they want, but counterattack was FTW. Up north you start with a Char B1 and 2 somou's, and south one Matilda I and a Matilda II

No mather what happend, people always sticked together. I drove the Char B1 alot, and many times i saw the Somou's on my flanks, and someone in the Turret of my Char B1 for Anti-tank duties.

And the city fighting was Infantery only terrain. Everyone exept the flyboys had their great fill in counterattack

I would gladly have a Exact copy of Counterattack on FH2 anyday. Complete with the Panzer's III with both 37MM and 50MM guns. The panzers IV, II, 38t's
Clashing against the Char's, Somou's, Matilda's
 

my god, the dream

[Laffey]

I never played FH1
french tanks just look crappy

[THeTA0123]

Look  yes

But they where pretty though

The only means of stopping them was Airpower and the lack of radio's in french tanks.

German, British and US tanks had radio's. French tanks had radio reciever, with the command tank having a radio for recieving and sending information.
So yes, the other french tankers could now=ah mon dieu! Voila un Panzer III
But if they saw other enemy units,  they couldnt tell about it

And when the Lead command tank was destroyed, mein gott, the chaos.

That and that most french tanks had 2 Man turrets. So the Tank commander also had to act as a loader

[Fuchs]

Laffey, what tanks do you like?

[VonMudra]

The french tanks, to put it lightly, even with their deficiencies in turret crew and radios, butchered the german armour in 1940.  Also, there should be 1 to no 50mm Panzer 3s on any 1940 map, they barely saw any action, and only at the very, very end.

[Torenico]

French Tanks <3

Also, French Tanks > Any German Early war Tank.

Some people are jealus of the French, they dont wanna realize the French had the best armor of the Late 30s and Early 40s.

Poor France, the German Propaganda and French Haters or Hollywood made france look like a idiot, i you listen to them, instead of Grabbing a book, you will see that France is, according to them, a Coward.

I say.

Fuck Them.

[Cory the Otter]

yes.  we need more non-american war films!

Then again France lost because they placed their confidence in the Maginot line and thought that germans tanks couldnt go around the forest. And look at that, they did it. Stukas also destroyed many french tanks. German armor in that time was still in diapers and the french did have the best tanks for that time.

ah yes you are correct

supplies where also a problem with the french armoured units
 

French tanks still look epic imo, they look   rough. And tough

If they just dint spended those millions and millions of francs on that maginot line

Yes it kept the french safe from a direct assault, but the Cash spended in that line could have been far better used in making more tanks, more AA guns (French had low amounts of them), more figthers and updates to them all

[Yustax]

VOn MUDRA!  Come educate this man on the Maginot Line!

Watched that mini series Apocalipsis - WW2; some general misplaced their trust in the Maginot Line, and one; I dont remember his name warned that it wouldnt hold and it wasnt exactly secure. Germans also parachuted behind it, and started to destroy the heavy howitzers and other defences. Other than that, I dont know more about the line.

[Captain Pyjama Shark]

I was pretty sure that its intended purpose to circumnavigate German forces.

I was pretty sure that its intended purpose to circumnavigate German forces.

I think the exact plan was to force the germans to go around the maginot line through Belgium, and in that time that country was neutral. But they did surprise the french when they went through the Ardennes forest.
