Hotchkiss / War Thunder

After WW1, France was clearly among intellectual leaders in tank design. For example, it was the engineers at Renault, who created the Renault FT light tank — the first ever tank with what we now perceive as the standard tank layout. Alas, by the early 1930s it was already outdated, and none of the attempts to create a worthy replacement were truly successful. The Renault D1 and the D2 were simply unreliable, expensive and very heavy.
That’s why after a while the French decided to issue a specification for a cheap, light tank with a weight of six tons, inviting the French tank industry on the whole to provide proposals. Renault was still pretty much an apex predator in the industry, but there was another interesting entity eager to take on the challenge — Hotchkiss, a French arms and automobile manufacturer that wanted to explore new markets.

This is a good video, i actually really like the H-39 in game, have decent armor, a kinda strong gun, only complaint is mobility.

The early French grind was certainly a frustrating one but the hotchkiss gave me plenty interesting wins and a couple frags along the way

There is a Hotchkiss model even in Bulgaria. The national museum of the bulgarian combat glory is a place where this small tank rests with piece. I also visited it and it looks really good despite that the french tanks are meme in history of WWII.

PLEASE add more modes and PvE missions! Edit: I mean rotating PvE missions bc Brett brighthead under here doesnt seem to grasp the fact that those missions are played to death by those of us who actually are asking for more.

Hey Gaijin, nice video, but maybe consider reverting the recent set of BR changes that are universally hated.
