French tank experience, based on the test server
I
R-17: Good tier 1 plinker when fully upgraded. Low top speed despite godlike acceleration. 8/10
II
H35: Best of tier. Armor indestructible against non-gold ammo in most matches. Only downside is undergunned. 10/10
D1: Worse at everything then H35. 6/10
III
AMX 38: Terribly undergunned. Armor resistant against frenchmen, not so much anybody else. 4/10
D2: Gun still subpar, armor reasonable. Slow. 6/10
IV
AMX 40: Gets even worse at shooting, armor bounces other frenchmen with t1 guns but won't hold up against other nations. 3/10
B1: Slower and less armor then AMX 40. Gun better but still below average. 4/10
V
AMX 12t: PzIII/IV equivalent given Chaffee matchmaking. 1/10
BDR G1B: slightly worse at everything compared to KV. Also gets fucked by matchmaking. 3/10
VI
AMX 13 75: fast, highly damaging ambusher/raider. Loooong reload times and total lack of armor means 15 seconds of action and 45 seconds of downtime. 7/10
ARL 44: A tiger's retarded cousin. Also gets fucked by matchmaker. 2/10
VII
AMX 13 90: like it's 75mm variant but better at everything. Can kill same tier enemies in a single volley, retreat, reload and lay another ambush. Also good for flanking. Non-existent armor but decent hp. 8/10
AMX M4(1945): King Tiger's obese cousin. matchmaker is slightly friendlier 5/10
VIII
Lorraine 40t: Flanker from hell. Each cylinder can do 1800 damage, reliably killing every tier 8 and most of tier 9 enemies in 12-13 seconds if you get behind them. Also fast and decent at ambushing. Still no armor. 8/10
AMX 50 100: Poor man's Loraine. 7/10
IX
Bat Chatillion 25t: Followup to AMX 13 line. Redundant by presence of Lorraine but not significantly worse. 7/10
AMX 50 120: Higher burst dps in exchange for lower total. Bigger brother to the Lorraine, lacking in speed but with more armor. Also snipes like a boss. 8/10
X
AMX 50B: Ammo rack is in front of unarmored turret. Identical to 50 120 otherwise. 6/10
