It's great for the numerous deployments France has underway in Africa. Goes fast, has a big boom, and can travel over sand quite effectively.

It's a great vehicle for what they use it for. French equipment is fucking based.

Meh...The proud South Africa using this rubberised wheeled tank to take out Angolan T-72 and T-55 with ease. French are more experienced in modern armoured warfare against insurgents more than American do. Fact the first and the longest penetrations advance done by Allies during Gulf War? It was the French AMX-10RC, ERC-90 and the Legion.

>French are more experienced in modern armoured warfare against insurgents more than American do.
Maybe prior to the 2000's. Definitely the opposite now just due to weight of mass of experience among more troops in larger, more complicated scenarios.

Not hard to do when you're given the "keep you away from any real trouble" flank.

Africa is big, really fucking big, with little to no infrastructure. Even of tracks are superior at the tactical scale, they're never going to be able to reliably traverse such long distances without breaking down.
Add enough armor to stop 23mms on a technical and a big enough gun to kill commie surplus tanks, and you're set.
Parker Bailey
>It kills T-55s and T-62s so it's great for what it is.
Niggers can't into basic maint. Its even worse when you consider that there are few railroads cris-crossing Africa so they have to carry tanks on top of transporters (they don't have any, since logistics is not sexy) or worse, drive to the location of the battle. Its no surprise even before the fighting stops most tanks have already been written off.

No they weren't thinking. Dumb choice. Something something about minimal recoil on flexible and space in turret etc.

It's a great cavalry tank. It keeps up with wheeled vehicles on and off road that carry infantry, and it also is fast enough to flank engaged heavy armor.
Tyler Miller
>Africa is big, really fucking big, with little to no infrastructure.
Africa is fascinating in a weird kind of way. Quite literally a real life Terra Formars setting. Will be interesting to see what the chinks do with it.

The Somua and the Char B1 both performed extremely well in the stages of the war where the French Army actually made it to the front line in time to engage the Germans. They had superior armor and superior firepower to the Panzer Is and IIs that made up something like 85% of the German armored formations in '39 and '40. The reasons these tanks lost have to do with logistics, transportation, and being in all the wrong places at the right time, like most of the French Army was.
Kevin Bailey
It's a WW1 Steam Punk cluster fuk. The perfect illustration of France through the ages
Isaac Jones
The fact that every Panzer had a radio meant that the Germans could coordinate better. During the Battle of Belgium you see cases where the French had prime opportunities for a counterattack but couldn't get their shit together in time.
Xavier Reyes
flag>radio
Brayden Jones
That tank performed very well against German tanks, problem is they lacked radios to mount proper counter-attacks.

Isaiah Bell
>The Somua and the Char B1 both performed extremely well in the stages of the war
The B1 performed like shit. It was so mechanically bad and hard to maintain without extremely specialised and higher than normal training that most of them broke down.
A couple of individual incidents of them taking a lot of fire mean precisely jack shit against the strategic level failing of the tank on a logistics front.
Jose Morales
it's not a famous Jow Forums song. It's a remix with two million views. everybody liked that album.
that isn't how you structure a post on this website.
You have to go back.

A great book on this came out by a Ratel 90 crew member a few years ago. Worth the read and it gives you an idea of how much of a clusterfuck the communist forces were. The Angolan battle plan was practically ripped from Soviet doctrine. Get as much firepower in one area as possible before the enemy can respond, create a gap, exploit it. Why? because there were Russian officers helping with the planning. Problem, the mobile bridges to get across the Lomba river used were immediately destroyed. Most of the engagements were at very close range where the Ratel's maneuverability made it king over the slower, harder to maneuver Soviet tanks. UNITA forces worked in conjunction with the SADF and handed an embarrassing defeat to the communists.
Review of the book if anybody is interested.

Speed, light weight, easy maintenance and sufficient firepower
If anything, it was overgunned for what it fought, a 75mm/76mm would have been fine
Kayden Brooks
Garbage
All you need to kill something is firepower, and the Rooikat and AMX 10RC had plenty of that
Ethan Myers
The primary problem was people trying to refill the driveline with -literal caster oil- because that's was what the actual lubricant was called. If they hadn't done that literally 75% of breakdowns could have been avoided. Wherever they didnt do this, the Germans had massive problems dealing with them if they couldn't be outmaneuvered and struck with artillery.
Jonathan Green
There was an article in a french history magazine few month ago about a soviet officer who was involved. He said what a nightmare it was to work with the angolan"military"

Would love to read that article, do you have a link?
Fun fact: according to some fucking idiots, Angola will be the superpower of Africa LMAO.
David Wright
I don't have it there but it said "nig gonna nog"
He explained how angolan used to destroy radio and said "we had no orders", how once the south african used a bush fire to push an angolan column in a minefield and it almost worked.

Yes. It hides a lot of the heat signature

The Malaysians also do the same type for their MBTs. But it looks like not effective to masking the heat signature a lot.

One weird trick is converting thermal emissions in bands that piece atmo easily to bands atmo absorbs easily.
