(Can anyone find the other images outside of Imgur? Can’t see them because of UK nonsense)

Thanks!
Fouga VP90-looking creature compared to few other tanks. The gun barrels are only 90-100cm above the ground, approximately

I think it should be at BR 5.3. Flanking Tigers, KVs and Jumbos while also brawling with trucks and light tanks. And capping points would probably be very easy with 36 PS/t and 90 km/h max speed (thats 2 more PS/t than BT-7M!). Arcade multiplier would likely give it 60-70 PS/t and 100 km/h speed… ON TRACKS.
+1 it’s a funny little thing, built for low tier tank destroying. I want these other ones to come along with it too.

I wanted to make a suggestion on them, but there is not enough historical info for the usual standard (though Russian stuff like Black Eagle tank suggestion have lowest standard and yet got accepted for suggestion anyway).
I would have loved to help but I’d say I’d be grasping at straws, I’d even go as far as trying to mail Renault with a request to send the sekrit documents on the vehicle since I see no other way to get them for vehicles this obscure.
its more complicated than just affiliations with Renault. French archives are at Vincennes and Chatellerault, the photo of UE 57 and the copy of Galliot muzzlebrake is in British Shrivenham
I just asked Tank Encyclopedia guys to check if it’s really MG151/20 - it looked too tiny for Fouga when I looked at AMX 70.
They said it’s one of Hispano-Suizas, one being HS404.
If it’s really one it actually has not 27mm, but 38mm of penetration as already in-game (e.g. D.520 plane)
Most likely it uses one of Porsche’s opposed piston (boxer) engines, like one on EBR but four-cylinder. However, Porsche didn’t seem to make 1.6L producing 55 PS. They made 1.5L for 55 PS and 1.6L for 70 PS. So the Fouga’s engine is either net power, or the engine is actually 1.5L.
Either way, I tested it on 900kg car and it achieves great speed of 169 km/h. Cut the specific power in less than a half - 90km/h is still very easily achievable. The engine produces that power at 4400 RPM, I suppose it can do 5400 of max RPM.
Once I decorate my 3D-reconstruction of it a bit better, I’ll publish it here too
