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
After the collapse of the Beijing government, most of the Renault FT fell into the hands of the Nationalist government. However, they largely remained in Manchuria where most of them would be captured by the Japanese in the wake of the Manchurian incident, where Japan then occupied the region and organized the puppet Manchurian government. Since the tanks were already outdated, the captured Chinese Renault FT were handed over to the Manchurian Imperial Army.

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, two with the Renault turret and two with the Berliet-Girod turret, 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 them serving in AC capacity via the installation of a 37 mm gun in place of the machine gun due to losses of the Peugeot cars. They would see service until 1930.

Variants & Changes:

• Modèle 1914: The first 60 armored cars were produced with flat gunshields and poor armor.
  • 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.
• 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. AM versions of the type 146/148 cars were made, though rarely. 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.
  • 1915 “type 1”: First three cars produced with armor on the front and top of the cab with space in between. A gunshield was used, and the gun only had the capability to fire rearwards and sidewards due to the cab blocking the frontwards arc.
    • 1915 “type 2”: Gun was slightly for frontwards capability and an armor plate was attached to the rear of the truck.
      • 1915: Some cars produced with angular additions to the gunshield, enlarging it.
      • 1915 “type 3”: Angular gunshield now standard. The cab is now fully armored with side armor added with the capability to fold the sides down for better sightlines.
        • 1915: The ability to fold down the sides of the cab was removed in later production.
        • 1915 “type 4”: Additional cab side armor to cover crew legs, with a triangular cover over the windshield visor ports. A stowage box was installed on the left side.
• 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 De Dion Bouton was Puteax’s attempt to make an armored car. It was made in 1916 and further modified the same year, but the car was rejected due to issues concerning its weight and the lack of reverse steering.

Variants & Changes:

• 1916: The original 37 mm gun turret was switched to an enlarged one housing a 47 mm gun and an additional two machine guns in the rear, two mounted side-by-side on either corner and one mounted on a high-angle configuration in the roof.

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 was replaced by the Girod-Renault cylindrical omnibus turret. Only around 150 to 300 of these were made and can be differentiated from the later Berliet-Girod turrets by the “cheekbones” on the front of the turret.
• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Berliet-Girod cylindrical omnibus turrets in Berliet, SOMUA, and Delaunay-Belleville productions. This removed the cheekbones for a smooth face and uparmored to 22 mm thick. This was the most common type used and was produced alongside the Renault turret.
• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Renault riveted omnibus turrets in Renault productions. This can be easily differentiated by the riveting and flat armor plates. This was installed approximately 1,147 tanks and was produced alongside the Berliet-Girod turret.
• 1925: Twenty-six tanks were modified with Kégresse suspension and an additional front wheel. This increased their speed to 13 km/h, but the track became too fragile and difficult to replace in the process.
• Renault FT 75 BS: See below.
• 75 Renault: See below.
• 105 Renault: See below.
• Renault STAV: See below.
• Renault STA: See below.

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 Renault FT was an exceptional tank for the time, but it did have a pressing issue. The 37 mm gun was a small caliber, compared to the larger 57 mm guns used by the A7V and the British Marks or the 75 mm guns used by the Schneider CA1 and the Saint-Chamond. It was suitable for light fortifications which were commonly encountered at the trenches, but faltered against the heavier fortifications they could face. To rectify this, the 75 BS, originally fitted onto the Schneider CA1, was fitted onto the Renault FT in two variations. The first prototype was this, the turret removed and the hull’s superstructure wildly reconfigured in order to house the gun in a casemate. However, the Renault FT’s suspension is clearly still visible. For obvious reasons, this prototype was rejected in favor of the more conventional prototype that would become the Renault FT 75 BS, seen below.

Summary
The Renault FT was an exceptional tank for the time, but it did have a pressing issue. The 37 mm gun was a small caliber, compared to the larger 57 mm guns used by the A7V and the British Marks or the 75 mm guns used by the Schneider CA1 and the Saint-Chamond. It was suitable for light fortifications which were commonly encountered at the trenches, but faltered against the heavier fortifications they could face. To rectify this, the 75 BS, originally fitted onto the Schneider CA1, was fitted onto the Renault FT in two variations. The first, a casemated hull, was a failure, and was rejected in favor of the second prototype that installed a fixed casemate in place of the turret. It was intended that this would be mass-produced to serve alongside normal Renault FT and such mass production was underway, but the end of the war saw an end to that. Of the vehicles that would be produced, they would see service all the way up to the Second World War with the last two being encountered in Vichy service during Operation Torch in 1942.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918-1919: Late-productions dropped the hitchpoints and wire rope channels that were intended to haul and place bridges.

Summary
The battered and muddy terrain of the western front prompted the development of tracked self-propelled guns. The Saint-Chamond, while intended to be a tank, found itself being used in this capacity, but there was still a need for a dedicated self-propelled gun. This was found in taking the Renault FT and stripping it of its turret and superstructure so that a gun can be placed into it. The first of these were the 75 Renault which was found to be suitably mobile and stable, but failed to carry enough ammunition or to have comfortable enough crew ergonomics in order to satisfy French requirements, thus it was rejected.

Summary
After the rejection of the 75 Renault, both STAV and STA were appointed to make their own designs based on the Renault, with both of them ultimately being constructed by Renault. The STAV prototype utilized a Gramme naval mounting to rectify the poor firing angles of the prior prototype. This allowed the gun to fire in all directions, albeit it couldn’t fire any less than 10° towards the rear. However, both the STAV and the STA prototypes failed for no fault of their own. French high command simply became too divided over the argument of either using self-propelled gun or retaining older style towed guns, an argument that wouldn’t be settled until after the war was over at which point the Renault FT chassis was considered too obsolete to use as a self-propelled gun chassis again.

Summary
After the rejection of the 75 Renault, both STAV and STA were appointed to make their own designs based on the Renault, with both of them ultimately being constructed by Renault. The STA prototype was largely similar to the 75 Renault in principle, but it built up the chassis far more and utilized a larger rear platform to allow the gun crew to properly manage it. The driver was also moved so that he would no longer be in danger of the gun’s blast. However, both the STAV and the STA prototypes failed for no fault of their own. French high command simply became too divided over the argument of either using self-propelled gun or retaining older style towed guns, an argument that wouldn’t be settled until after the war was over at which point the Renault FT chassis was considered too obsolete to use as a self-propelled gun chassis again.

Summary
The AC 47 Renault were produced in order to fulfil the need for a self-propelled gun – which, immediately after, became unneeded due to the static nature of the war. Due to that, only four out of the original order of a hundred would be made, while a further four unarmored cars would also be made since there were twelve 47 mm guns that had been requisitioned. They were divided into two groups and saw conflict as anti-aircraft vehicles in the western front, though notably the armored versions suffered mobility issues due to the woefully underpowered engine. They were used in both the anti-aircraft, anti-ground, and anti-tank capacity during the war. Probably due to that, after the war the groups would be disbanded and the self-propelled guns presumably dismantled.

Variants & Changes:

• 1914: The first group of armored autocannons are constructed.
  • 1915: Aside from the first, the armored cars were equipped with the Fauconneau mount.
    • 1917-1918: The first car replaced the initial mount with the Fauconneau mount.
  • 1914-1915: During travel, the engine regulator was removed in order to reach higher speeds. They achieved 22.5 km/h at 1,400 RPM and an astonishing 50.0 km/h at 3,700 RPM; but both of these speeds strained the engine heavily and the underpowered chassis made the speeds difficult to reach in the first place. This field modification isn’t noted to have been done to the unarmored versions.
• 1915: The second group of unarmored autocannons are constructed. They were identical to the armored versions, except for the lack of said armor.
  • 1915: First car produced with a mle 1887 mount.
  • 1915: Three other cars produced with a Fauconneau mount.
    • 1915-1918: First and second cars had their mount support bases shortened to lessen the strain of the recoil shocks on the chassis.

Summary
The Mors were contracted to be built in France by the time that Belgium had been largely overrun by the German invasion. They were built in both machine gun and cannon versions with thirteen being built in total. However, like most armored cars, they were quickly found to be useless in the mostly static trench warfare of the western front and were thusly sent to the eastern front, with the Belgian expeditionary to Russia, as a result. All of the cars would either be destroyed or left in Russia when the expeditionary was recalled.

Summary
The Renault FT was Belgium’s first and, for the entirety of the 1920s, only tank. Forty-eight, along with a single radio tank, were delivered in both Berliet-Girod and Renault turreted versions with either machine guns or cannons. They would serve in the military until 1936 when they were declared hopelessly outdated and given to the Gendarmerie where they were then placed in storage. They would be captured during the German invasion of Belgium in the opening year of the Second World War.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Berliet-Girod cylindrical omnibus turrets in Berliet, SOMUA, and Delaunay-Belleville productions. This removed the cheekbones for a smooth face and uparmored to 22 mm thick. This was the most common type used and was produced alongside the Renault turret.
• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Renault riveted omnibus turrets in Renault productions. This can be easily differentiated by the riveting and flat armor plates. This was installed approximately 1,147 tanks and was produced alongside the Berliet-Girod turret.

Summary
In 1927-1930, a single captured Ehrhardt was converted into an armored car by the installation of additional plating and the conversion of the high-angle gun into an armored low-angle mount. However, it was largely a failure with the chassis being overloaded and the car so unwieldy that it’s said that only a grand three people were qualified to drive it at any one time. When new modern armored cars were acquired in 1938, it was intended to retire the Ehrhardt but that did not happen, and so the car was consequently found by the Germans in 1940 and then disappeared, presumably scrapped.

Summary
While the Dutch were neutral during the First World War, they did limited collaboration with the Entente in case that Germany decides to cross their borders. One of these was the purchase of three Thornycroft-based anti-aircraft guns which were delivered in 1916. They would see service all the way up to 1940.

Summary
During the end of the First World War, German forces tried to take the fastest way back into Germany as they could. One path was to pass through Limburg rather than going around it, which the Dutch allowed with the stipulation that all weapons had to be turned over. At least one of these acquired weapons was an Ehrhardt truck with a 7,7cm gun, which was then immediately placed in storage. It was remodeled with the 5,7cm 6 tl gun while in storage before being displayed in Dutch exercises during 1924. However, this configuration was short-lived as by 1927-1930 it was uparmored into a dedicated armored car.

Variants & Changes:

• Ehrhardt Potkachel: See above.

[Wiggly_Armed_Man]

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.

[Spr4yz]

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.

Summary
A single Renault FT with the Renault riveted turret was delivered to Sweden in 1921 and was used for trials until 1926. From 1924 to 1925, the tank was used as a mobile radio station. In 1926, it was used as a range target and subsequently dismantled once 13 mm, 20 mm, and 37 mm guns, and grenade bundles were tested against it.

Variants & Changes:

• 1924: Gun was removed to accommodate the installation of a radio, which was also later removed when the tank was converted into a range target.

The tank turned into a mobile radio station.

Summary
Finland received thirty-two Renault FT in 1919 and an additional two in 1920, for a total of thirty-four overall. They were Finland’s main tank for all of the 1920s and most of the 1930s, being before replaced in that capacity by imported Vickers. They briefly saw service during the Winter War, mostly as bunker emplacements, before being relegated to training duties and finally being declared totally obsolete and scrapped in 1943.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Berliet-Girod cylindrical omnibus turrets in Berliet, SOMUA, and Delaunay-Belleville productions. This removed the cheekbones for a smooth face and uparmored to 22 mm thick. This was the most common type used and was produced alongside the Renault turret.
• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Renault riveted omnibus turrets in Renault productions. This can be easily differentiated by the riveting and flat armor plates. This was installed approximately 1,147 tanks and was produced alongside the Berliet-Girod turret.

Summary
The Renault FT was the first turreted and mass-produced tanks. The United States intended to copy it as the M1917 for their armored divisions, but due to their production lagging behind the intended date, Renault FT were used to arm the light tank battalions in Europe, instead. Both Girod-Renault and Renault turreted tanks were used.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Berliet-Girod cylindrical omnibus turrets in Berliet, SOMUA, and Delaunay-Belleville productions. This removed the cheekbones for a smooth face and uparmored to 22 mm thick. This was the most common type used and was produced alongside the Renault turret.
• 1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Renault riveted omnibus turrets in Renault productions. This can be easily differentiated by the riveting and flat armor plates. This was installed approximately 1,147 tanks and was produced alongside the Berliet-Girod turret.

Summary
The M1917 was intended to be America’s premiere light tank in Europe alongside the Mk. VIII Liberty as their heavy tank, but due to production delays neither would see action. Instead, the tank was only delivered after the war had already ended. It continued service into the 1930s, when it was then largely replaced by more modern tanks like the M1 combat car and the M2 light tank.

Variants & Changes:

• M1917A1: See below.

Summary
Starting from 1927, numerous designs tried to replace the M1917 in service. Among these was the M1917 itself, which took to enlarging the engine in an attempt to solve its mobility problems. However, it still wasn’t enough and while a limited production run of M1917A1 was constructed, Christie’s designs ultimately won out as the new standard.

Summary
The Mark V was America’s first tank in the European theatre. Due to its weight, relative to the Renault FT, it was designated a heavy and was used as such within the 301st; the only heavy tank battalion that saw action during the war. Later, they were replaced by Mark VIII Liberties.

Variants & Changes:

• Mark V*: See below.

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. They also formed the bulk of the American heavy tank battalions, both during the war and the in the immediate aftermath. Later, they were replaced by Mark VIII Liberties.

Variants & Changes:

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

Summary
The Mark VIII was a collaborative effort between the United Kingdom, the United States, and the France in an effort to create a new “international” heavy tank for the planned 1919 offensive. However, the end of the war meant that this never occurred. As a result, the French Mark VIII factory ultimately produced no tanks, the British factories ultimately only produced 25 out of an original order of 1,450 due to their production no longer being necessary, and, like the M1917, American production lagged far behind and would only begin nearly a full half a year after the end of the war. Ultimately, an American Mark VIII wouldn’t be completed until 1920 with 100 being produced by the end of the year. The American version differed from the British version in a number of ways, including: the elimination of the sidewall tower machine guns, the usage of the 7.62-mm M1919 in place of the .303-in Hotchkiss Mk. I, the installation of a semaphore mast, a bullet deflector plate on the rear of the tank, and a canvas cover over stored tanks.

They would see service until 1932 as America’s only in-service heavy tank until the later part of the Second World War.

Variants & Changes:

• November 1918: first mild steel pilot with seven .303-in Hotchkiss machine guns and a faulty exhaust system
• March 1919: second mild steel pilot with a semaphore and seven .303-in Hotchkiss machine guns
  • May 1919: .303-in Hotchkiss machine guns replaced by 7.62-mm M1917 machine guns
• 1919~: sidewall machine guns removed in production models
• 1925: strobe vision dome installed on one tank, reverted the same year
• 1932: air-cooling system for engine installed on one tank

Summary
Davidson was a prolific inventor of unarmored and armored combat vehicles during the 1910s and 1920s. He is responsible for works such as the Machine Gun Car, an earlier creation based on the same Cadillac that the Balloon Destroyer is built off of, and his later Armored Car. The Balloon Destroyer, as the name suggests, was meant to take down observation balloons with its high-angle machine guns. This did not see any success beyond the two prototypes constructed, albeit two Radio-Machine Gun Cars would be made to accompany them the following year.

Summary
The Minerva were the first deployed armored cars of the First World War and among the first to be captured by German forces during their invasion of Belgium in the opening stages of it. Three were captured, which would later be used during the invasion of Romania in 1916, and at least one would survive up until 1919 when it formed a part of the “Kokampf” Friekorps during the German Revolution. It was later turned over to Entente forces due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.

Variants & Changes:

• 1914-1916: captured Minerva converted to use a 2cm Becker K. M2 in place of the 8 Hotchkiss mle 1909

Summary
In response to the effectiveness of cannon armored cars in 1914, further cannon armored cars were ordered. One model selected were based on Packard trucks and completed by 1915. Due to the chaos of the Russian Revolution and proceeding Civil War, both of the two built armored cars were captured and converted to be 2cm gun carriers. As a part of the “Kokampf,” they were deployed in Berlin during the German Revolution and later turned over to Entente forces due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: captured Packard converted to use a 2cm Becker K. M2 in place of the 37-mm Maxim-Nordenfelt, and three M. G. 08 in place of the single 7,62-mm PM-10

Summary
Garford-Putilov formed the largest type of armored cars in the Russian Empire. During the last two years of the First World War, Germany captured five of the thirty cars and converted at least three to use M. G. 08. However, they wouldn’t see much action until the German Revolution, where they were used as a part of the “Kokampf” and later turned over to Entente forces due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.

Variants & Changes:

• 1916-1918: at least three captured Garford converted to use M. G. 08 in place of the 7,62-mm obr. 1918 g.

Summary
The Bussing A5P was Bussing’s competitor against Ehrhardt’s and Daimler’s design for an armored car, but lost against the Ehrhardt due to its excessive weight. Despite that, it and the Daimler were used throughout the First World War. In 1916, due to the static nature of the western front, the armored car was sent to the Romanian front, but by 1917 was relegated to training duties. During this period the Becker gun was tested and found unsatisfactory. It last saw service in Ukraine before the end of the war, where it then briefly ended up in the hands of the Freikorps before being decommissioned as a part of the Treaty of Versailles.

Summary
The DZR 19 was one of the numerous armored cars constructed during the revolutionary period. It first saw service within the Freikorps, up until their abolishment, and then in the Sicherheitspolizei as armored police cars. While not allowed to own them by treaty, they were sometimes loaned to the Reichswehr for usage. They survived up until the 1930s.

Summary
The L. K. II was Germany’s answer to the British Whippet, and also an attempt to solve the issue of their lackluster industrial capability that had been lagging the production of the A7V for over a year by that point. Two vehicles were meant to be made: a “female” machine gun tank and a “male” cannon tank. The first two prototypes were “males,” armed with the 5,7cm cannon found on A7Vs, but due to the intense kickback of the gun it was planned to install a 3,7cm cannon on production tanks. However, all production tanks that were made by the end of the war were “females.” They would never be operationally deployed before the end of the war and would either be scrapped or sold to comply with the Treaty of Versailles.

Variants & Changes:

• Prototype: armed with a 5,7cm gun in a casemate
• Production: armed with a machine gun in a turret

Summary
Germany made extensive use of captured vehicles during the Second World War. Even captured Renault FT, which were still in service in France by that time, saw service as training vehicles and rear security vehicles against partisans. Captured Renault and Berliet-Girod turreted tanks were used.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Berliet-Girod cylindrical omnibus turrets in Berliet, SOMUA, and Delaunay-Belleville productions. This removed the cheekbones for a smooth face and uparmored to 22 mm thick. This was the most common type used and was produced alongside the Renault turret.
• 1917-1918: Girod-Renault turrets were replaced by Renault riveted omnibus turrets in Renault productions. This can be easily differentiated by the riveting and flat armor plates. This was installed approximately 1,147 tanks and was produced alongside the Berliet-Girod turret.

Summary
The Treffas-Wagen was one of Germany’s first attempts at creating a tank. It was developed and constructed by Hansa-Lloyd at the direction of the OHL, and having no experience in creating even an armored fighting vehicle and much less a tank, the wildly unconventional, even for the time, Treffas-Wagen was the model produced. However, after being tested against the mockup A7V, it was decided to cancel the project entirely due to it being a clearly insufficient model, and it was consequently scrapped by October of 1918.

Summary
Mark IV tanks were first encountered by Germany on the 7th of June, 1917, when they were deployed on an assault on Messines Ridge. However, the battle of Cambrai is when they first managed to capture some examples of the tank. It wouldn’t be until nearing the end of the year that they would be repaired by the Bayer. Armee-Kraftwagen-Park Nr. 20, where they would then first be deployed with German units starting from February of 1918; but, operational use of them wouldn’t start until months afterwards. They formed the bulk of the German tank force due to the insufficient production of A7Vs and were rearmed, at the very least with the cannons replaced by German cannons, but otherwise unchanged.

Two females would even see service as far as the German Revolution of 1919, where they a part of the Freiwillinge Landjägerkorps. They remained the last tanks in German control before the Treaty of Versailles banned them from having tanks.

Variants & Changes:

• 1917-1918: captured Mark IV rearmed with two Belg. 5,7cm K., and in various other secondary armament configurations

Summary
A7V was Germany’s first domestic tank and only (production) domestic tank during the First World War. Despite British tanks appearing en masse in 1916, design on a domestic German tank didn’t begin until 1917 when it became apparent that tanks were becoming a staple of the modern battlefield despite Germany’s numerous anti-tank weapons. Thus, the first A7V was only produced near the end of 1917, and it wouldn’t be until nearly midway through 1918 that any combat units would be ready to use them in battle. When deployed, they adopted all of the same problems that the first British tanks had: faulty and overworked components, poor visibility, and, despite the on-paper mobility, poor speed and prone to getting stuck within the muddy terrain of the Western Front. Worse yet, the lack of initiative from the OHL and most of the German industries being diverted to other war material left the production of the A7Vs sorely lacking: a mere 20 tanks, alongside the around 40 Beutepanzers, against the literally thousands of Entente tanks produced throughout the war.

Consequently of the three A7V battalions organized by the start of their March offensives, they would be left with only one operational battalion by the end of the war. The last operation of an A7V-derivative, a converted Überlandwagen, took place during the German Revolution of 1919 in the hands of the Freikorps in order to suppress the communist uprisings. It was also the last tank, alongside two female Beutepanzer, to be in German hands before they were forced to turn it over to the Entente due to the Treaty of Versailles.

Summary
Despite the A7V’s on-paper better mobility than contemporary British tanks, it suffered from a lack of mobility over the beaten terrain of the Western Front due to their top-heaviness and track layout. To rectify that, the layout and suspension of the British Marks were copied in spirit and used to create an A7V-based tank based on the British layout. One prototype of this A7V-U was completed and despite some issues, namely its heavier weight, twenty tanks were ordered before the end of the war albeit none would enter production before the end of it.

Summary
The Marienwagen II was a small production run of utility halftracks. Their production lasted into 1919 and their service into the Reichswehr era, along with some limited export to countries like Latvia. At least one was turned into a carrier for a 5,7cm gun by the removal of the canvas covering.

Summary
Observation balloons had made their threat to armies prevalent during the late 19th century, to deadly consequences for those that aren’t able to counter them. During the 1900s, this idea was expanded upon to include self-propelled counters and the Ehrhardt 3,7cm M1905 was among the first of these. It also served the precursor for the rest of Ehrhardt’s anti-balloon gun cars during this period.

Summary
In 1906, Ehrhardt took his concept of a self-propelled anti-balloon gun by mounting it on a completely armored concept, a novel concept for the time which is also one of the reasons for why it was rejected. For the military, there was no reason to armor a gun meant to deal with a balloon that doesn’t have any armaments of its own. That, and the limited firing angles of the gun, forced him to redesign the car into the 5cm M1907.

Summary
In order to solve the core issue of the Ehrhardt 5cm M1906, the upper armored chassis was removed and the gun was replaced into an open mount. While this gave it far better firing angles to the military’s satisfaction, the armored part of the car was still seen as unnecessarily expensive. As a result, the design was still rejected despite the changes.

Summary
Likely due to the criticisms leveled at the 5cm M1906 and the M1907 for being unnecessarily armored, Ehrhardt built a new model in 1908 that was unarmored. It retained the same gun, but the chassis used was otherwise unchanged. This was a bit to its detriment as the bed of the truck was too small to use anything larger than a 5cm effectively and even the 5cm struggled to shoot sidewards due to the instability of the chassis. The cross-country capability was poor and the on-the-move-firing capability proved impossible due to that. It was presented to the Austro-Hungarians, but was rejected for purchase and production.

Summary
By 1910, the 5cm guns no longer had the range required by the German military. Due to that, a new 6,5cm gun was developed and placed onto an unarmored chassis with three or four models produced. While this satisfied the range aspects at the time, the new requirements also laid out the need for an armored carriage so that the cars would be able to move offensively with frontline units which the unarmored chassis did not satisfy.

Summary
By 1912, the German requirements for a self-propelled anti-balloon gun had become solidified. It had to be armored and use the now standardized 7,7cm gun, allowing it to move offensively with frontline units while also having the range to deal with the increasingly large balloons. The first models only satisfied one of those requirements, as they used the same unarmored chassis that the 6,5cm M1910 had used, but at least one model was built on a semi-armored chassis to satisfy the requirement. These would be template for all of Ehrhardt’s self-propelled anti-aircraft guns during the war. The only problem is that the gun would quickly start to lose its edge against the increasingly fast and deadly fixed-wing aircraft.

Variants & Changes:

• 1912: At least one gun was mounted onto a semi-armored chassis.

Summary
Only a token amount of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns had been made prior to the First World War. The commencement of it led to Germany ordering 40 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns from both Daimler and Ehrhardt, to be based on their respective Plattformkraftwagen Kw. 14 chassis. These were largely identical aside from superficial differences, namely that the Ehrhardt sported flat radiator guards while the Daimler was angular, and that the former used a Rheinmetall gun while the latter used a Krupp gun. These were in use throughout the war, with 105 of both types built by 1917 and 85 individual batteries being organized by the end of the war. A variant with a slightly larger 8 cm gun would see service with Austro-Hungary.

Variants & Changes:

• 1915: The gun shield was removed, the hood was simplified, and the railway tires were removed in order to reduce weight.

Summary
While Ehrhardt pursued turreted solutions for a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, Krupp’s first attempt took a more conventional solution by mounting the anti-balloon gun as is onto a fixed mount, and using the vehicle itself. However, this came with the obvious problem that it could be difficult to find the right angle to turn the truck to, and since the concept of self-propelled artillery hasn’t become common yet, the design was rejected.

Summary
The design was the first Krupp-Daimler experiment with a turreted gun, a departure from the fixed gun attempt they had made the year prior. It performed better than Ehrhardt’s own truck-based anti-aircraft gun, but still remained only a prototype while another more armored design was produced. However, the 7,7cm gun would become the standard for German anti-balloon and large-caliber anti-aircraft guns going into the First World War.

Summary
The effectiveness of the M1909 prompted them to try to improve it by armoring the truck. However, this proved to be too radical of a change as the armor overloaded the chassis, albeit the all-wheel drive did help in reducing that effect. Another problem was the lack of visibility that the gunner had, which could make firing ineffective, and that the cramped turret made loading difficult. To solve part of these issues, one of the two vehicles was modified into the 7,7cm M1911.

Summary
In an attempt to solve the problems of the 7,7cm M1909/1910, the upper sections of the armor were removed. This would have improved the visibility for the gunner and lightened the burden on the chassis, but evidently it wasn’t enough as the subsequent models took the lighter armoring even further.

Summary
The 7,7cm M1911 took the lessons from the 7,7cm M1909/1910 and the M1910/1911 and took them further. The chassis was even more lightened in comparison, with the cab and the turret only being covered by a short armored wall compared to the previous versions. This was evidently considered acceptable in some form, as at least the subsequent and nearly identical 7,7cm M1912 saw service in the First World War.

Summary
The 7,5cm M1912 was effectively a 7,7cm M1911 with a different gun, albeit there are minor differences in their frames and turrets between them. It at least saw service with the army up to 1914 in France, but the design wouldn’t carry over into the mass-production 7,7cm M1914 aside from the most superficial of aspects.

Summary
Only a token amount of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns had been made prior to the First World War. The commencement of it led to Germany ordering 40 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns from both Daimler and Ehrhardt, to be based on their respective Plattformkraftwagen Kw. 14 chassis. These were largely identical aside from superficial differences, namely that the Ehrhardt sported flat radiator guards while the Daimler was angular, and that the former used a Rheinmetall gun while the latter used a Krupp gun. These were in use throughout the war, with 105 of both types built by 1917 and 85 individual batteries being organized by the end of the war. At least one car was equipped with a Rheinmentall gun instead of the normal Krupp gun.

Variants & Changes:

• 1915: The gun shield was removed in order to reduce weight.
• 1918: At least one car equipped with a Rheinmentall gun.

Summary
The KD-I was the most advanced artillery tractor built before the end of the war and it found use as a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun during the closing months of the war. They were meant to be used during the 1919 campaigns, hence the Kw. 19 designation, but, consequently, its late adoption meant that it never actually saw frontline use during the war. Instead, most of the gun carriers were retained after the war and served within the Reichswehr and later the Wehrmacht. They, and the basic artillery tractors, were among the first to receive special Sd. Kfz. designations. However, by 1930 they begin to remodeled with modern 7,5cm guns – in violation of the Versailles, aside from the four Krupp 7,5cm gun carriers which continued to serve in their basic form until their decommissioning.

Variants & Changes:

• 1918: Variations produced with either the 7,7cm L/27 or the L/35 gun.
  • 1920s: A curved shield was installed on all 7,7cm guns.
  • 1930-1932: All 7,7cm guns were replaced by a 7,5 cm F. K. n. A. L/36.
• 1918: Four models were produced with the 7,5cm gun.
• 1931: Spoked wheels started to be phased out in favor of rubber wheels.

Summary
Benz-Gaggenau Typ 5 K trucks have been in service prior to the war and throughout the entirety of it. This was in various forms as utility trucks to artillery tractors. One such form, of which only an image survives, is of it serving as a carrier for a 8,8cm Flak. L/45 in a naval MPL C/13 mounting. It was destroyed on the Vesne Front in August of 1918.

Summary
The Lanz Raupenwagen LW is likely the most obscure vehicle of the First World War, which is made odd due to its, relatively, large production count. It was produced as another tracked solution to artillery tractors and had four variations, of which at least one upgraded the vehicle with a stronger engine. However, visually they look identical and no documents exist to specify their actual differences. Based on photographs, at least one was converted into an anti-aircraft gun carrier in the same fashion as an Überlandwagen was. It is not known if this specific vehicle was equipped with the 80 hp (60 kW) or 100 hp (75 kW) engine.

Variants & Changes:

• Lanz Raupenwagen LW I: no known differences
• Lanz Raupenwagen LW II: no known differences
• Lanz Raupenwagen LW III: no known differences
• Lanz Raupenwagen LW IV: no known differences

Summary
The Flakwagen A7V is a mysterious prototype, namely because nothing survived of it aside from its photographs. What is known is that it’s an Überlandwagen modified with a slightly longer hull to accommodate the anti-aircraft guns and that at least three prototypes were constructed, each in a different configuration. It is rumored that at least one was sent to the Western Front as a part of an anti-aircraft battery, but aside from that it is thought they were simply scrapped at the end of the war.

Summary
Initially, Austria-Hungary lacked any self-propelled anti-aircraft guns at all. This wasn’t an issue until Italy entered the war and started to deploy balloons and aircrafts over the Alps and deployed them to raid across the Adriatic. To rectify this, twenty-four cars were imported from Germany and outfitted with Austro-Hungarian 8cm M 05/8 guns, designated M 05/16 in the self-propelled configuration. The cars were divided into four batteries with six cars each and mainly deployed along the Italian front, where they claimed “several dozen” fixed-wing aircraft shot down over the last two years of the war.

Version two of the USA tree.

There are some things to note:

• I included and marked the interwar vehicles that I believe could be added alongside them.
• The tree presumes that all of the 37-mm M1916 would receive OR 37 mle 1892 APHE, and that at least most of them would receive OR 37 mle 1935 or 1937 APCR. This is completely ahistorical since they were completely reliant on the Mk. II HE-BF for armor-piercing capability, but this would block the addition of America’s earliest light tanks and also block the addition of the famous Christie designs.
• The T1 light tanks do not use ammunition from the aerial 37-mm M4. This became a persistent rumor at one point, I imagine because the guns are distantly related. The guns that they use are the “short-barreled” Browning M1924 No. 2, later redesignated T3, and the “long-barreled” Browning M1925 No. 2, later redesigned T2. They used 37x120R and 37x123B cartridges, respectively, propelling the guns at either a velocity of 1,350 fps (411 m/s) or 2,000 fps (610 m/s), again respectively. I have no idea how they perform outside of that since I’ve never been able to figure out what ammunition they actually use to plug into the penetration calculator; due to that, the later T1s could end up anywhere from rank I or up to rank III and their wide BR range is reflective of that.
• The BRs aren’t absolute. They’re more representative of how the vehicles would be positioned against each other, rather than how they would exactly be positioned in-game.
• The current in-game rank I has been pushed to rank IV at the bottom, with rank III being a hypothetical intermediate rank between the two with earlier interwar vehicles.

Does anyone have more information on the clusterbuck that are the German prewar Bak./Flak. trucks? Of the ones that I could find, I could hardly find anything other than what chassis they were using and the gun they used, and I’m sure I completely missed a few trucks between them or that of the ones I did find, that I confused some as something else or got bad information, etc.

There are also 5cm, 7,1cm, and 7,5cm gun calibers for the Bak. that I couldn’t find anything about, along with whatever small gun that the Ehrhardt M1905 uses (looks like a 3,7cm Bak.).

Edit: Unrelated, but my favorite vehicle is now the Balloon Destroyer.
