well... I don't understand this well... but you want to make a replacement of any of the useful units OH or WH has with this french crap? lol, it's all I have to say in this matter. Why wouldn't we give OH captured T-34? Or KV-1? Those tanks were at least used on EF and we are 100% sure ^^
and captured tank makes total difference in faction. And it requires also model and skin. And animation. And I guess devs have a lot of other stuff to do than this... thing.
I would prefer something different rather than a captured tank.

Ah, btw that's why I think it would be on the OH foreign support. Don't like as replacement unit for anything on wehr/pe/oh.

Well a couple of points their really.

1.  French units are already in the game e.g Hotchkiss so i really don't see why this is any different.

2.  This is a computer game not real life, how good or bad the unit is depends entirely on the stats the developers give it. 

3.  We wouldn't give the Ostheer captured Russians tanks because its pretty poor design philosophy just to give an identical unit with a new skin to a different faction. 

4.  We "100%" know it was used on both fronts during the war and this thread contains a detailed list of when and where.

Is this possible to animate two cannons in one tank?

I like idea to give EF this tank but i don't know where put it  ???. It requires more thinking :).

Random French man: Hé, pourquoi vous faire plaisir de mon sexy réservoirs? (Hey why you make fun of my sexy tanks ;D ;D)

It sounds nice. But I could ONLY see it in foreign battle group, maybe reward unit for Brummbar. Replacing the StuH 42 just seems, idk, wrong :(. I dont know if this has been answered but was this French tank even used on the eastern front? If not then.. IDK, seems strange :P

Also Fish, réservoirs is like a water tank, the tank you are thinking about is called a Blindee IIRC (please excuse the lack of accents my keyboard is American and I don't want to go on Wikipedia just to find the proper accents)

french equipment wasnt crap...just the people who worked them  ;D (no offense to any frenchmen on the forums)

on topic: im pretty sure this is just another decent idea thrown into the garbage. i still want to find a suggested unit that makes the cut
Its a beautiful day to kill, dont you think so??

Dunno Trollgore, sounds like the higher ups have taken the idea in stride, you need just look a few posts back and you will see Balancers Translators and Bishop being interested in this unit's deployment

Actually it seems there is a perfect place it, as described by myself and some other people, Rewards for either the Ost Brummbar, or the Wehr StuH42, or inclusion into the Foreign Battlegroup, tons of room and time to add them. if it is deemed interesting enough to warrant inclusion.

Personally I think it should replace the Stuh 42, just possibly add more of a population cost to it to balance out getting some decent armour out quickly.

I do like the idea of the Veterancy of the tank to.

Damn, I was hoping no one would notice I got the word tank wrong ;D ;D I didn't feel like changing it though :P

I've given this some thought (while on the train) and I believe this should not be in the Foreign battlegroup. It just seems weird :P. When you activate FBG you expect tanks from the east euro countries, not a frenchie tank :(. Yes, it did serve on the east front but thats like saying the Soviets should get a Matilda to replace the T-34 b/c they had it at one time (IDK if I got name correct).

I think this should ONLY be a reward for the Brummbar :-X. To replace the StuH with......this...... is just wrong to me :(. And if it gets its flamer with vet that makes it an even worse replacement for the StuH in its initial state unless you intend on giving this thing low muzzle velocity and HE rounds :P.

Im not trying to insult this idea, I'm just saying it should not be present in FBG OR as a StuH Wher replacement :).
