No, they didn't as far as I know. From what I had read, the FT-17s didn't really scratch the Stuarts.
Yes, Germans used captured FT-17s. Remember that the mainland French Army after the armistice wasn't allowed to have tanks or AT weapons, so the Germans pretty much appropriated most of those and usually used them for secondary defense/reserve purposes.
sry but.. the french (vichy) do a baaaaaaaad job using WW1 vehicles vs WW2 era vehicles.. and the stuart have more armor than FT17.
here i see the partisan mode.. it is possible.. like the PR have insurgency mode
we can use partisans mode.. but i dont know
The Vichy French didn't have much of a choice. The Germans and Italians administering over the armistice commissions didn't give the French much room for improvement. The colonies were basically left to what they already had before the fall of France, although the Vichyites were sometimes able to make shipments of armor (often hidden to prevent the Axis from noticing, though usually with German/Italian approval). Senegal even received 23 Somua S-35 tanks, though those did not arrive to North Africa until the French were already re-Allied and fighting against the Germans and Italians in Tunisia.
Thus, in Africa, the French were left with primarily Renault R35, FT-17, Char D1, a few Hotchkiss H35/H39, and the few Somua S-35 tanks mentioned above. Overall, the tanks used by the Vichy North African Army were worn down and badly equipped, and few could stand up to the 1942/1943 era of tanks in use by the other countries.
The situation was worse in Indochina, where the only tanks were a handful of FT-17, most of them run-down and ineffective. Made things very hard when the Vichy French found themselves against the Japanese, Thai, and then the Japanese again.
the ft17 could hope to flank the stuart to destroy them at blank point i guess.
A more useless charge is certainly during the sicilia landing where a tank commandant (i don't remember the name but it should be easy to find) has charged shermans with his R35.
After his tank was disabled, he go out, take his gun and continue the fight. (but was killed some seconds after that).
For the prestige...
ft17 was also used in normandy (with the 21. i think)
Scharfschütze-Snoop: We zijn druk bezig om FH2 af te ronden, maar er moet nog het een en ander aan gedaan worden. Ik kan je niet precies zeggen wanneer we klaar zullen zijn (dat weet ik zelf ook niet), maar je kan er wel rustig van uit gaan dat het meer dan een maand zal duren.
Geen probleem, m'n zegt altijd. Hoe langer er m'n aan werkt, hoe beter en geslaagder hij is.
Ik blijf hier checken en heb ondertussen in onze forum begonnen met topic met update's zoals filmpjes. Ik laat ze lekker kwijlen
