I have additional details to update the info of ARL V 39 with assistance by @ CaID. When I have a time to do it, I will add and update it later today,
I remember doing the suggestion for the old forum. Good work in any case, many more infos than what I had at the time.
Obviously, that would be a nice addition. Of course, there’s still the dreaded turret that is a massive weakpoint but… Still, I personally would like nothing more than having this one added to upgrade the perfect “1940 France” lineup alongside other 2.3 vehicle like the B1bis, the FCM 2C, the Potez 631 and the MS.410.

so Elan was indeed saying truth and this thing isn’t related to G1B tank in any way, which could have reverse electrical transmission, and thus wont have fancy reverse speed? Sad…
200 rounds for main gun is insane. Also, please add the fact that commander turret had a goddamn optical rangefinder that we are still missing on identical turret on Sau40, SINCE ITS RELEASE, and it took nxdef months to get report on it’s presence accepted. Gaijin would probably not notice “ramgefinders” as a thing

Rangefinder
the reason it has a turret is for the rangefinder
Rangefinder : X17. FoV : 2.10°
Max range : 2km

Looks good
For the past 10 ish years i thought this thing was entirely made up by that one other tank game.
Boy am I shocked it was in fact real.

Eh, that rangefinder configuration makes it an actual “mini-Foch”.
nothing that was made in its first years was made up except for german E-vehicles

Updated history with emphasis on the observation turret, as it’s mentioned to include a rangefinder. The specifications have also been updated to include more details, such as speed and armor values.
I’ll dig for more information on this vehicle later and update the suggestion if I find anything new.
Thanks, I updated the suggestion to reflect that.

Finally, the infamous early 75mm cannon will be redeemed. Does the cupola rotate to face forward as well? I hope so!
Yes, the turret/cupola should be (almost) identical to the SOMUA SAu 40. Due to the game designs, it would, of course, rotate to face forward with the gun, unless Gaijin models the rangefinder in that turret.

And 2 more crew members than the SAu 40? Scrumptious. Hope this one gets approved, I’d love to see the Imperial Guard tank skins that people will inevitably make.

I was thinking about something : the mg in the turret’s going to be a pain to use. Ordinarily, it would follow the camera and mouse, however, it probably won’t be in this case since that would prevent using the rangefinder. It would make it as useful as the back mg of a KV1, that is not at all.
Yeah I remember it at least being a paper vehicle or something, but it’s cool to see that it was real, +1 from me too
it was absolutely busted in WoT blitz, could mow down entire teams
