This image looks a bit better, although I could not find one that was full size like the original.

2.7 is way too low, if the 47mm can really pen ~100mm of armour. Is that 47mm in game yet? I would be thinking more like 4.0-4.3.

It is, on the Lorraine 37t at 1.3. It has a pretty good pen indeed, but only solid shot, and it’s quite small…
Let’s be frank here, had this tank reached production, it would have been provided in some form or another with an AP shell, much like the ARL-44 which got its shell despite its gun being an AA gun originally.
If the tank doesn’t get some sort of 90mm AP shell, its gun performances won’t be on par with its armor. And thus it will be a nightmare to balance. And so it won’t come into the game. Not that it would really come anyway, given that it never really left mockup stage.

Consider the Excelsior for UK for comparison, that 75mm has similar pen to this 47mm. Armour is not that different in overall thickness but the F1 probably slopes it better, plus it has 9 crew to tank hits with and even if that 90mm doesn’t get AP, it can kill open tops. There are large differences between the F1 and Excelsior but some of the key points are similar. And the Excelsior is 4.0.
There’s certainly no way a Matilda for example should face a tank like this.

probably some BR where it would either meet stuff which would obliterate it miserably on uptier, but also stuff that would see it in mightmares on downtier. Much like with char 2C and Maus, maybe somewhere around 4.0 so it can meet early Panther sometimes… and regular French and Soviet tank destroyers with enough mobility and pen to stop it… But the latter should be aware for the bigger gun always ready for oneshotting em
THAT WAS REAL? i thought it was a bullshit tank like the Rat1000 +1

i think it will be like TOG2 so only a few people will get it for free
bruh thats ballls
either 90% chance of it getting event, or 10% tech tree. Wont probably end up as premium but who knows, we have T-35 and 2Cbis already, so…
If the Char 2C and the ARL-44 had a child.

I was thinking of the SA35, didn’t realize it was the SA37 found on the 37L like the other person mentioned. With that in mind, I’d say 3.3-3.7 max, because at 4.0-4.3 with 100mm of unangled armor on the turrets and sides, it will be straight unplayable in an uptier where everything is using guns with upwards of 150-200mm of pen.

maybe you’re actually right, as 3.7 can be only uptiered to meet stuff like tank destroyers, while it would retain its heavy role (only defeatable through weakspots frontally by normal tanks. Panzer4s would still manage to fight it no problem though)

Yes, and we also have to keep in mind that it’s insanely big and slow (which means it’ll be a generally easier target to kill in uptiers + a CAS magnet). So i also think 3.7 is the best BR for it.
yeah, perhaps 3.7 is right. As long as we do not have AP munition for 90mm found, it should stay there (say, TOG2 got massively uptiered due to its powerful gun, despite being cardboard and slow, too)
