Tell that to the German armored land forces in 1940, brah.

### REPLY:
The French actually had an arguably better tank (especially in a defensive role) in the Char B1-bis. The B1-bis armor couldn't be penetrated by the Panzer III's 3.7 cm KwK 36 at any range or even the larger 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 at anything past 100m when using normal AP ammo (APCR could pen at &lt;500 m).  
  
 On paper the French tanks were great, their big mistake was filling them with French crews.

### END.
