Also there was a Prototype of the LK II mit Kanone, with the 57, production would have gotten the 3,7 cm gun, the Mg turret armed were the standart LK II variant, which are 2 different tanks, as the LK II mit Kanone has some parts taken over from the LK I, like the air intakes, due to muzzle blast.

From what I could find, the design of the 3,7cm gun tank was never finalized. Namely, in that a decision of it either being installed in the same casemate or being installed in a turret was never reached.

[Ghostmaxi]

I didnt say that, what i meant is, the Turreted LK II with MG is a different vehicle to the cannon armed ones. So mixing its Prototype and that Production isnt exactly propper.

[Wiggly_Armed_Man]

I have the American Mk. VIII formatted the same way. The production one is really only there to show its continuation more than anything else, since there is no way that is being added in-game.

By the way, do you happen to have any information on the unarmored Benz and “Oldies” gun trucks that accompanied the first Mannesmann-Mulag? I haven’t been able to find any information on them, aside that they were a part of the 1st automobile machine-gun company.

[Ghostmaxi]

I have never heard of them sry, maybe @Spr4yz knows something about them.

[Mafiat_595]

Yeah you’re right, I love the little FT but it would simply be too weak and frustrating to use against bigger heavily crewed vehicles.

[Narachu]

Use the Warthunder Tech Tree creator website to make your own tech tree to publish it more visually if that helps, not sure you have had heard of it before.

[Wiggly_Armed_Man]

That is my plan after I finish the lists, though I prefer making it in paint-dot-net so I can use the “tree” style rather than “line” style of vehicle progression, more similar to what WoT does than WT, or how WT organizes the larger helicopter trees where they actually branch out from a singular line.

Summary
The Simms’ Motor War Car is considered to be have been the first armored car ever produced. While it wasn’t the first armored car to be proposed, it was the first to be produced and was a rather ambitious design. It was ordered in 1899 and was intended to see use during the Second Boer War, but delays in production meant that it wasn’t produced in 1902 when the war had just come to an end. The Car was exhibited to the public but with no military exhibition or backing, the project was a failure and the first produced armored car faded into obscurity.

Variants & Changes:

• 1902: Vehicle presented with gunshields for all guns.
• 1903: Gunshields were removed.

Summary
The Rolls-Royce Mk. I were one of the prevalent armored cars within the British military. In an effort to uparm them, once was converted by replacing the turret with a 1-pr. with a gunshield on an open pedestal mount. Evidently, this was not successful since it was a one-off prototype.

Summary
The two lorries were produced in 1916, on the same chassis that had previously already been used for an anti-aircraft lorry. Both were sent to Russia as a part of the expeditionary forces, where they then had their turrets removed due to their weight dragging them down in the Russian terrain with their worryingly underpowered engines.

Variants & Changes:

1916: Produced with a turret.
1916-1917: Turrets were removed due to weight issues in Russia and replaced by open pedestal mounts with gunshields. The now-open sides were replaced by flat armored plates.

Summary
The Seabrook were the most numerous group of cannon armored lorries in British service during the war. They were intended to serve as support for machine gun cars in the RNACD Squadrons with three in each, but were instead grouped into separate six-car squadrons due to problems posed by their overweight chassis. Most of them would be deployed in France, but at least one would also be deployed to Egypt. Sometime later, they were all transferred to the British Army after the disbandment of the RNAS RNACD.

Variants & Changes:

1915: Some cars produced with a 3-speed instead of a 4-speed transmission.
1915-1916: Some cars produced without gunshields or removed during service.

Summary
The Mark I was the first mass-production tank ever developed and the first to see action during the First World War. However, as with most new things, issues with it were immediately noticed when it was first deployed in combat in 1916. Namely, regarding its mobility. Due to that, all Mark I and Mark II tanks were placed in training duties the following year and for the remainder of the war, with all Mark I tanks being decommissioned by the end of the war due to the abundance of later Mark V.

Variants & Changes:

• “Mother” prototype: Identical to production versions, but was made of mild steel instead of bulletproof steel.
  • Later 1916: “Mother” was refitted with a Daimler-based petrol-electric drive system, but was rejected in favor of the Wilkinson system experimented on the Mk. II. This increased the engine’s standard rpm from 1,000 to 1,400.
• Several modifications to the roof, including:
  • 1916~: A net was installed atop of a few Mark Is.
  • 1916~: Bar holders were installed atop of a few Mark Is in order to stow the sponson guns during transport.
  • 1916~: A triangular anti-grenade mesh was installed atop of some Mark Is.
• 1917~: The steering tail was removed from all Mark Is, this decreased the length to 7.75 m.

Summary
While work on an improved model was underway, the Mark II and III were produced as interim to keep the factories running. The Mark II differed from the early Mark I largely only superficially, with the hatches revised, the cabin narrowed, internal stowage altered, the removal of the steering tail, and the addition of a “grouser” track shoe at every sixth link in order to improve mobility. All of the tanks were made out of mild steel and were never intended to see combat, nonetheless they were deployed alongside Mark I and subsequently decimated due to their unarmored hulls being able to be penetrated by basic rifle shots. They were withdrawn from frontline service as soon as possible and served the rest of the war as training tanks.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917~: Some tanks were produced without the “grouser” track shoes.
• 03/1917: Three tanks were used as testbeds for various transmissions, including:
  • Wilson Epicyclic transmission: Won the contest and was installed starting from Mark V tanks.
  • Westinghouse Petrol-Electric transmission
  • Wilkin’s Multiple Clutch transmission

Summary
Like the Mark II, the Mark III was also intended to be a training tank. Unlike the Mark II, the Mark III actually only served in that capacity and remained in England for the entire duration of the war. The most significant changes from the Mark II was that the sponsons were slimmed and that all of the Hotchkiss machine guns were replaced by Lewis machine guns. At least two tanks would survive up to the Second World War, where they were then scrapped.

Summary
The Mark IV was the first truly mass-produced and, considered by the British Army, acceptable version of their First World War heavy tanks. It would form the largest component of the British tank force and see service from 1917 to 1918 on the frontlines of the conflict, and continue to see service up to 1940 as a training vehicle. Their first mass action was at the Battle of Cambrai where 460 Mark IV participated, proving the functionality of tanks, and three Mark IV would be a part of the first tank battle in history when they faced off against an A7V at Villers-Bretonneux. Captured examples, of at least 40 in number, would be used by Germany during the war, and after it a single Mark IV was imported to Japan.

They would serve up until at least 1940, before the last operational Mark IV, in training capacity, was damaged by a passing car.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917~: A “silencer” for their exhaust was installed on Mark IV tanks starting from early on in their production.
• 1917~: Unditching blocks were installed on the rear of tanks and positioned above the tracks. When necessary, they would be freed which would allow the tracks to carry them down and use them as additional traction against muddy ground.
  • 1917-1918~: The unditching blocks were replaced by a singular unditching beam that stretched between both of the tracks once this modification became formalized.
    • 1917-1918~: A single Mark IV was outfitted with Renold’s roller chains that were installed interior of the horns. These would deploy the unditching beam automatically by activating the roller chains from the interior of the tank rather than someone having to go outside to deploy it as normal from the tracks.
• 1917: Fascine bundles were installed on the front of tanks to assist in trench crossing during Cambrai. They weighed 30 cwt. (1,524 kg) and decreased the power-to-weight ratio from 2.8 kW/t to 2.6 kW/t.
• 1917-1918~: A single Mark IV had an Invicta mineroller installed on the front horns.
• 06/1917-10/1917: Several tanks were experimentally fitted with heavier tracks with better grip and a ramp on its front horns. It was intended to be used as a spearhead tank during the Operation Hush amphibious landings.
• 1917: In an attempt to improve their trench crossing abilities, “tadpole tails” were developed. These were installed to the rear tank horns and would increase their length to 10.79 m and their maximum trench from 3.5 m to 4.25 m, which would have been enough to overcome the larger anti-tank trenches being dug by the Germans. Despite 100 of these “tadpole tails” being made, none would be operationally used due to the introduction of the Mark V*.
  • 1918~: A single “tadpole tail” Mark IV was experimentally modified to carry a 6-in. mortar in the rear between the horns.
• 1918~: The engine was uprated to 93 kW (125 hp) on later tanks which increased the power-to-weight ratio to 3.3 kW/t. However, most of these modified tanks were also converted to tank tenders due to the unreliability of the uprated engine.
• 1918: At least three tanks lengthened by means of cutting them behind the sponsons and then installing extra plating to increase the length by 6 ft, to 9.88 m. This served as the inspiration for the later Mk. V*.

Summary
The Mark V was introduced to fix the poor mobility that the prior Marks had. This was solved by introducing the Wilkinson transmission, allowing for the drivers to easily switch gears which allowed for far better mobility on average. It also introduced a stronger engine and replaced the machine guns with superior Hotchkiss. While not the most prominent tank of the war, they were the most widely used as they saw service within the American and Canadian tank forces, and would also be imported to Russia and subsequently captured by the Soviet Union.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: Some female tanks were converted into hermaphrodites by replacing one female sponson with a male sponson. The replaced sponson could appear on either side, leading to two variations of the hermaphrodite.
• 09/1918: “Cribs” were installed on the front of tanks to assist in trench crossing during the attack on the Hindenburg Line. They weighed 12 cwt. (610 kg) and decreased the power-to-weight ratio from 3.7 kW/t to 3.6 kW/t.
• 1917: In an attempt to improve their trench crossing abilities, “tadpole tails” were developed. These were installed to the rear tank horns and would increase their length to 10.74 m and their maximum trench from 3.5 m to 4.25 m, which would have been enough to overcome the larger anti-tank trenches being dug by the Germans. Despite 100 of these “tadpole tails” being made, none would be operationally used due to the introduction of the Mark V*.
• 1918: Some later production tanks were produced with the newer 26.5-in tracks instead of the older 20.5-in tracks.
• Mark V*: See below.

Summary
As the war progressed, the Germans started to produce larger and larger trenches. The “tadpole tails” were an attempt to rectify that issue, but they proved too fragile. So, the Mark V was lengthened in its Mark V* version. However, since neither the tracks nor engine were modified, the heavier weight and the lengthened chassis reduced its mobility. Despite that, more versions of the lengthened tanks were produced than the original, and they would see service up until 1930 when the last tanks were decommissioned and placed in storage. They would also see service within the American, French, and Canadian militaries.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: Some early production tanks were produced with the older 20.5-in tracks instead of the newer 26.5-in tracks.
• 1918: A single Mark V* was modified with a “tadpole tail.” This extended the tank to a length of 44 feet, making it the longest produced tank of the war, but it was nearly impossible to turn due to that and the “tadpole tail” was thusly removed.
• Mark V**: See below.

Summary
The Mark V** was the most advanced version of the heavy tank produced during the war. Albeit, produced “during” is a bit of a misnomer, as only one was completed before the end of the war. Due to that, the original order of 700 tanks was cancelled after only 25 had been made. It fixed the problems introduced by the lengthening of its previous Mark by reducing the pitch of the tracks which allowed more of the track to reach the ground, thus reducing the ground pressure. Combined with the uprated engine, it proved to be more mobile than its predecessor.

Summary
The Mark VII was the final development of three in implementing the Williams-Janney hydraulic system onto a production tank. Previously, it had been tested on a Mark II and a Mark V in 1917 and 1918, respectively, but the Mark VII was meant to be a production tank alongside the Mark V and had an order of 75 placed. However, due to the end of the war, only 3 of 75 were built and none of them would officially enter service in the British Army, probably due to the Mark VIII being the Mark V**'s likely successor.

Summary
The Mark VIII was a collective British-American-French development to create an international heavy tank for use in the planned 1919 offensives. However, due to the end of the war and delays in its development, the initial order for 1,450 was made, but ultimately only 24, plus the mild steel prototype, would be completed, and of that only 5 saw trails at Bovington with the rest being scrapped. The French Mark VIII was never constructed, their factory laying dormant, while the Americans produced 100 Mark VIII. These differed mostly in armament, with the British retaining all original machine guns and positions while the Americans opted to remove two of the positions, reducing the crew from twelve to ten, and rearming them with native Brownings.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: The mild steel prototype had its hull assembled in England and its armaments and automotive assembled in America. This included a Liberty 12 engine and a rear-side exhaust, but was otherwise identical to later British productions.
• 1919: First British mild steel tank produced with a Rolls-Royce engine.
  • 1919: Reengined with a Ricardo engine.
• 1919: All later 24 productions produced with a Ricardo engine.

Summary
In 1909, the McClean Mk. III was sent to Britain and mounted on a car in a final attempt to sell the gun to a buyer. However, the design was rejected and ended the commercial ventures of the Mk. III, until it was further redesigned in 1916 and sold to Russia.

Summary
Early on, it was recognized that larger guns were becoming more and more difficult to tow by horse and that increasingly powerful automobiles and tractors were serving as their replacements. However, few vehicles would easily keep up with infantry during the advances during trench warfare where the ground became muddied and battered with craters. To rectify this, based on the development of the Mark I tank, the Gun Carrier of the same Mark was developed. They would see service starting from 1917 and to the end of the war, where they excelled in transporting artillery that would be far less mobile otherwise. However, their intended use as artillery units themselves was oftentimes replaced by simply being a transport for artillery and ammunition, especially during the later parts of the war.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917: Prototype constructed with open driver and brakesman positions.
• 1917-1918: Constructed with both 60-pr. and 6-in capability.
  • 1918: Steering tails removed.

Summary
As a part of early attempts to combat zeppelin raids and other aircraft over Britain, two Austin 3-ton were converted to air defense vehicles. One was fitted with a searchlight and the other with a 1-pr. “pom-pom” to act as a battery, and they were initially deployed to London. However, they were later recalled and deployed to France to deploy the coast since the 1-pr. wasn’t capable of reaching the later zeppelins. Furthermore, their age made them unsuitable for frontline deployment where their gun might actually see some use. Records on them are lost after their French deployment.

Summary
The Pierce-Arrow were the most epidemic armored lorries found during the First World War. They served in both anti-ground and anti-air capacities, with the anti-aircraft version first finding use by the Royal Marines being immediately deployed to France to ward off German aircraft. Later, at least one of the lorries would be sent with the RNAS as a part of the expeditionary force in Russia.

Variants & Changes:

1915: Initial 32 lorries produced with 5 mm thick armor
1915: Last 16 lorries produced with 8 mm thick armor.

Summary
Early during the First World War, few countries had true anti-aircraft guns. Of those that did, the majority were improvised from normal field guns. The 13-pr. 6-cwt. was one of those and was fitted on both Thornycroft J Type and Daimler Mk. III lorries. However, the poor velocity of the guns quickly relegated them to minor usage after the 13-pr. 9-cwt. and 3-in 20-cwt. guns started to appear. All 13-pr. 6-cwt. were converted back into normal field guns at the end of the war, presumably all Thornycroft and Daimler were also converted back to normal lorries.

Summary
Early during the First World War, few countries had true anti-aircraft guns. Of those that did, the majority were improvised from normal field guns. The 13-pr. 6-cwt. was one of those and was fitted on both Thornycroft J Type and Daimler Mk. III lorries. However, the poor velocity of the guns quickly relegated them to minor usage after the 13-pr. 9-cwt. and 3-in 20-cwt. guns started to appear. All 13-pr. 6-cwt. were converted back into normal field guns at the end of the war, presumably all Thornycroft and Daimler were also converted back to normal lorries.

The 13-pr. 9-cwt. were far more successful and became a staple across the major theatres.

Variants & Changes:

• 6-cwt., Mk. I Mount: Some Thornycroft produced with 13-pr. 6-cwt. Mk. III guns on Mk. I mounts.
• 6-cwt., Mk. II Mount: Some Thornycroft produced with 13-pr. 6-cwt. Mk. III guns on Mk. II mounts.
• 6-cwt. Mk. IV: At least one Thornycroft produced with the slightly shorter but higher-angle 13-pr. 6-cwt. Mk. IV gun.
• 9-cwt., Mk. III Mount: Some Thornycroft produced with 13-pr. 9-cwt. Mk. I guns on Mk. III mounts.
• 9-cwt., Mk. IV Mount: Majority of Thornycroft produced with 13-pr. 9-cwt. Mk. I guns on Mk. IV mounts.

Summary
Peerless were one of the staple lorries used for anti-aircraft purposes during the First World War, though they came later than the earlier Thornycroft and Daimlers. Due to that, they used the latest 13-pr. and 3-in guns and their respective mountings, along with at least one modification of a 13-pr. gun on the mounting of a 3-in gun.

Variants & Changes:

• 13-pr. 6-cwt. Mk. IV: Few Peerless produced with 13-pr. 6-cwt. Mk. IV guns.
• 13-pr. 9-cwt., Mk. IV Mounting: Most Peerless produced with 13-pr. 9-cwt. Mk. I guns on Mk. IV mounts.
• 13-pr. 9-cwt., Type A Mounting: Few Peerless produced with 13-pr. 9-cwt. Mk. I guns on Type A mounts, taken from 3-in guns.
• 3-in 20-cwt.: Few Peerless produced with 3-in 20-cwt. guns.

I’m calling it. The Mark I will ironically be the best of the British First World War heavy tanks in the game due to it retaining the long Hotchkiss and using RHA. It’s mobility will be utter trash, but the 57 mm of penetration would actually be able to effectively deal with tanks like the A7V that the short Hotchkiss cannot penetrate frontally at all beyond 300 meters.

[Spr4yz]

Sorry. I’m only partly reading about the eastern front so I don’t have much information at the moment.

[Narachu]

I see, well I will be looking forward to it man. Also make sure you use background remover tools, that way it looks a bit more polished, there’s a good few that works well. Here are my suggestions!

Summary
The Renault FT, alongside a Whippet A, were the first tanks imported to Japan. However, the tanks were noted as having “bullet holes” in them, so they required repair before being used. They first saw service as training vehicles and in 1925, they had native Japanese machine guns and cannons installed, the latter of which came in two variations. Their last active combat action would be in 1931 when they took part in the Manchurian Incident, where a further 20~ Chinese Renault FT would be captured and incorporated into the newly formed army of Great Manchuria.

Variants & Changes:

• 1925: French weapons replaced by either a 6.5 mm Type 3 machine gun, or a Type 11 infantry gun or 37 mm sniper gun.

Summary
It’s unclear how many Renault FT were sent to China, but it is believed to be somewhere around 30. They were all modified with domestic machine guns and cannons, the latter of which were modified by the Fengtian Clique to fit Type 14 37 mm, a local Manchurian copy of the sniper gun used in Japan’s own Renault FTs. By 1928, all Renault FTs would fall into Republican hands due to the collapse of the Beijing-aligned Cliques as a result of the Northern Expedition, with the tanks serving up till the Manchurian Incident where most were captured by Japan and incorporated into the army of Great Manchuria. However, Renault FT would continue to be used by China in the training capacity at least until 1945, if not later.

Summary
Four Renault FT were brought for trials in 1917 and arrived in Italy in 1918. After successful tests, Italy ordered more, but the end of the war saw France cancelling their orders, leading to the creation of the later Fiat 3000. Of the imported Renault FT, only one had a cannon which is pictured above. They continued to serve within the Italian military after the end of the war.

Summary
The Schneider CA1 was the first tank used by Italy. It was trialed in 1917 and a decision was almost reached to purchase at least 20 of the tanks, but strategical changes in the Alps made it unnecessary and impractical. The sole Schneider would never see combat and be relegated to parade usage, before being interned in a museum in 1936 and then being lost over the Second World War.

Summary
The Fiat 2000 was developed as a contemporary to the British heavy tanks of the First World War. However, production meant the first prototype wasn’t completed until 1918 and that the second wasn’t completed until 1919. Both were deployed to Libya in 1919, but only the second prototype returned to Rome. The first prototype remained in Tripoli until 1924, when all records of it are then lost and it was presumably scrapped. The second prototype remained in active service until 1934 when it appeared one final time at an exhibition with Vickers-Terni guns. After that, it was interned as a memorial and then lost over the course of the Second World War.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917-1918: First prototype constructed. It used a flat-topped cylindrical turret and had no sponson guns, instead having the machine guns situated with two in the front, two in the sides, and three in the rear. Normal crew was 10. The first prototype was never armed.
  • 1920s(?): Small covers over drive and idler wheels are removed.
• 1918: Second prototype constructed. It used a spherical turret and had only seven machine guns instead of eight, with four in the sponsons, two in the sides, and one in the rear. Normal crew was evidently 8.
  • 1934: Forward sponson machine guns replaced by Vickers-Terni 37/40 modello 1918 guns.

Summary
The 75/27 C.K. was designed from the start as a truck-based anti-aircraft gun. However, due to the Alps campaign turning into a static slog over mountains, the necessities of a mobile anti-aircraft gun became fewer and so production lagged. Ultimately, 93 fixed or trailer-based guns would be built, while a further 72 truck-based guns on the Itala X truck would be built. They would serve until 1927, when the guns were then taken off and moved onto more modern Ceirano 50 CMA.

Summary
The 76/30 R.M. was a shortened version of the 76/40 modello 1897 and was initially used for smaller ships. During the last years of the war, it was used to equip trucks in order to create air defenses for their ports, with two batteries being constructed during the war and an additional battery being constructed sometime during the 1920s. They would see service until the Second World War, where all 14 of them had their guns removed and replaced onto Lancia 3 Ro trucks.

Summary
The AM Renault were France’s first armored cars alongside the AC Peugot. Whereas the latter was intended to serve as the cannon cars, the former were intended to serve as the machine gun cars to protect them. Sixty of the model 1914 AM Renault were produced in 1914 before deficiencies in its protection required its redesign, resulting in the model 1915. Around a hundred of the cars would be made, with at least some of the model 1915s serving in AC capacity via the installation of a 37 mm gun in place of the machine gun. They would see service until 1930.

Variants & Changes:

• Modèle 1914: The first 60 armored cars were produced with flat gunshields and poor armor.
  • 1915-1918: Cars were gradually modified with a rear driver seat to use the reverse gear as a forward gear. They can be differentiated from unmodified cars by the slit in their rear for the rear driver.
• Modèle 1915: 5 mm chrome steel armor was introduced; along with a gunshield with angled sides to cover the flanks and shutters for the radiator where the previous model left it unarmored. Most prior mle 1914 were converted into mle 1915.
  • Autocannon: Some cars were modified as self-propelled cannons with a 37 T.R. mle 1916 gun in place of the machine gun.
    • 1915-1918: Cars were gradually modified with a rear driver seat to use the reverse gear as a forward gear. They can be differentiated from unmodified cars by the slit in their rear for the rear driver.
  • 1915-1918: Cars were gradually modified with a rear driver seat to use the reverse gear as a forward gear. They can be differentiated from unmodified cars by the slit in their rear for the rear driver.
  • 1918: The Saint-Étienne 8 mle 1907 were replaced by the Hotchkiss 8 mle 1914.

Summary
The AM Renault were France’s first armored cars alongside the AC Peugot. Whereas the latter was intended to serve as the cannon cars, the former were intended to serve as the machine gun cars to protect them. Initially, 120 Peugeots were produced on the type 153 chassis, but due to the lack of protection, production was switched to the 146 and 148 chassis with a new all-armored design. Both AC and AM versions were made, though the former was far more common. At least 20 would see service until 1918 and 3 would see service until 1939, where they were lost during the German invasion.

Variants & Changes:

• Type 153: The first 120 cars were produced in both AM and AC versions on the Peugeot type 153 chassis and were only partially armored, with armor around the cab but not around the back. Only the AC version had a gunshield.
• Type 146: The last 150 cars were produced in both AM and AC versions on the Peugeot type 146 chassis and were fully armored.
  • Type 148: Type 146 production was supplemented by nearly identical Peugeot type 148 chassis.
    • 1916: The 37 Hotchkiss mle 1885 were replaced by the 37 T.R. mle 1916.
  • 1916: The 37 Hotchkiss mle 1885 were replaced by the 37 T.R. mle 1916.

Summary
The AM White produced the new standard for French armored cars. Whereas the earlier Peugeot and Renault cars separated themselves into AM and AC versions, the White combined them both into a cannon and machine gun car. However, due to the static pace of trench warfare, the production of it stalled until 1918, where only a few were constructed and put into service before the end of the war. They would participate in the subsequent occupation of the Rhineland and in the numerous colonial conflicts that plagued France during the interwar period. A portion of them would be modernized into the AMD 50 Laffly, though unmodified, then AMD White, cars would remain in service all the way up till 1941 during the Syrian campaign. Any further Whites were then modified into the AM Dodge-White.\

AM White would also see service within the Brazilian and Republican Spanish armies.

Variants & Changes:

• 1915: Panhard K14 prototype made, can find no information or photographs of it.
• 1923: Spoked wheels replaced by solid wheels.
• AMD 50 Laffly-White: AMD White rebuilt on a Laffly LC 2 chassis.
• AM Dodge-White: Combination of the AMD White and the AMD Panhard TOE with the chassis of a Dodge T110 truck.

Summary
The Renault FT was the first turreted tank. It was also the most mass-produced tank of the war – albeit, only by number, as the volume of the British heavy tanks eclipsed it. They served alongside Schneider CA1 and Saint-Chamond tanks during the war, but became the mainstay French tank after the end of it. It was widely exported, the most widely exported of any of the First World War tanks, and would see service within France itself up to Second World War. Unfortunately, they were woefully outdated by that time, their last French usage was during Operation Torch where they hopelessly fought against M3 Stuarts and M4 Shermans.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917: original Renault machine gun turret replaced by the Girod-Renault cylindrical omnibus turret.
• 1918: Girod-Renault replaced by the Berliet-Girod cylindrical omnibus turret.

Summary
The Peugeot was a late contender to the Renault FT. After seeing the success of the tank, Peugeot developed their own though with notable and obvious differences. Namely, its lacking turret so it could fit the far more powerful gun and the thicker cast armor. However, it was too little too late; with the Renault FT in mass-production and the end of the war looming, the prototype was rejected.

Summary
The Schneider CA1 was the competitor against the Saint-Chamond and ultimately a disappointment. They were first deployed in 1917 and were already considered obsolete in 1918, but would still serve until the last day of the war nonetheless. However, due to their production being suspended to focus on the production of the Renault FT and their obsolescence, they were decommissioned just after the war. However, they would see service within the Italian and Spanish armies up until the mid 1930s.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917: After the 210th vehicle, 5.5 mm plates, separated 4 mm from the hull, were installed on the front and sides of the tank to make them immune to German rifle armor-piercing projectiles. Earlier vehicles were retrofitted.
  • 1917: Some retrofitted tanks had additional 5.5 mm plates on the front UFP and a rectangular shield around the 75 mm gun barrel.
• 1917: A signaling shield was installed on tanks, usually attached to the rear of the roof. However, both the shape and the location of the shield could be different between tanks.
• 1917~: Engine ventilation moved from a skyline slit on the mid hull to a ventilation grid on the nose of the tank.
• 1917~: Armored plate installed to the bottom to prevent the buildup of dirt.
• 1917: One tank modified with a radio and a twelve-meter wire antenna.
  • 18/08/1917: The twelve-meter wire antenna was replaced by a fourteen-meter one.
    • 1917: Two command tanks were modified with antennas and Émitteur 10 ter radios.
• 1917-1918: After the 245th vehicle, the manual engine starter was replaced by an automatic starter.
• 1917-1918: Fuel tanks were reinforced with self-sealing double-walled tanks and moved to outside of the hull but still under armored plates. An additional exit was also constructed on the left side of the tank.
• 1917-1918~: Periscope sight, exhaust pipe, and speaking tubes installed sometime later.

Summary
The Saint-Chamond was the competitor against the Schneider CA1. They were first deployed in 1917 as a part of special artillery groups where their flaws immediately became apparent. Due to their long length and relatively short tracks for that length, they were prone to becoming stuck in trenches or craters. The gun was also faulty, a problem that would later be fixed by replacing it. It went through numerous changes in order to improve the protection and mobility during the war, but, like the Schneider CA1, it was seen as a failure compared to the Renault FT. Consequently, all Saint-Chamond would be decommissioned following the end of the war.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917: After the 150th vehicle, the roof was changed to a slope with the three towers being replaced by a single hatch.
  • 1917: This hatch was later replaced by a single tower, prior models were retrofitted with this.
• 1917: After the 210th vehicle, the 75 mle 1915 Saint-Chamond was replaced by the 75 mle 1897. As the Saint-Chamond gun started to break due to its weak recoil devices, prior tanks were repaired with the 75 mle 1897.
• 1917-1918: Sometime during the inter-year, rollers were added to the front and rear of the tank to prevent it from getting the “pike” nose stuck in trenches.
• 1917-1918: The 32.4 cm tracks were replaced by 41.2 cm tracks.
  • 1918: The 41.2 cm tracks were replaced by 50 cm tracks.
• 1918: After the 300th vehicle, additional 8.5 mm armor plating was installed on the sides in order to protect the tank against German rifle armor-piercing projectiles.

Summary
The Mark V* was lengthened in order to cross the larger anti-tank trenches that were being dug out during the later part of 1918. Over a hundred were given to France late 1918, but none of the crews completed their training with them before they could be sent to the front due to the end of the war.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: some tanks were produced with older 20.5-in tracks instead of the newer 26.5-in tracks.

Summary
The Saint-Chamond was the competitor against the Schneider CA1. They were first deployed in 1917 as a part of special artillery groups where their flaws immediately became apparent. Due to their long length and relatively short tracks for that length, they were prone to becoming stuck in trenches or craters. The gun was also faulty, a problem that would later be fixed by replacing it. It went through numerous changes in order to improve the protection and mobility during the war, but, like the Schneider CA1, it was seen as a failure compared to the Renault FT. Consequently, all Saint-Chamond would be decommissioned following the end of the war.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: Prototype rearmed with an unidentified 47 mm or 75 mm gun. The cupola was replaced and one of the hull gun loaders were removed.

The Schneider CA1 might be completely unworkable. The only shell I could find it uses is a high-explosive that would only be marginally more powerful than its contemporary 75 mm high-explosive shells, while its utterly trash velocity means its kinetic penetration would be even lower than the high-explosive penetration. Which isn’t that surprising given it’s a literal trench mortar, they were meant to fling high-explosive shells at short arcs and the tank gun certainly shows that.

The filler amount is actually pretty good for overpressure, with about 12mm pen. From another post I made:

Schneider CA

Indeed. The rounds for the 75mm Blockhaus-Schneider are pretty much equally as potent. This source, which is a scan from a 1918 manual, provides data on two HE-rounds. The M1900N with 775 grams of filler. The filler type is most likely Melinite (Picric Acid, 1.1x TNTe), for an equivalent of 852.5 grams of TNT, which can pen 12mm of RHA with overpressure. The M1915PN/GN with 740 grams of filler. Unknown what the PN and GN designation is exactly, but it uses the 24/31 dual-action fuze with both…

So I definitely think we could use it in the game.

[Wiggly_Armed_Man]

I suppose so, but that’ll still right on the edge of unusable. 12 mm of high-explosive penetration would be barely enough to penetrate any of the British heavy tanks with their 12 mm armor, it’ll be forced to go for roof shots on A7V (albeit A7V would be the best WW1 tank alongside the FCM 1A imo) and the Renault FT & derivatives, and would only barely be capable of penetrating itself or the Saint-Chamond.

It would absolutely nuke any armored cars and self-propelled guns, though.
