French vs. American Jumbo

Can anyone please tell me why the French Jumbo is 5.3 while the American Jumbo is 5.7? They are literally the exact same tank but the French one has better turret speed and better engine. Why?? I can’t find any differences. They have the same armor, gun, rounds, stabilizer, weight, profile, yet the French one has better turret traverse and speed/hp at .3 BR lower. France doesn’t even have a ground lineup at 5.3, with the only other tank being the ARL. I mean I get why it could be in that BR area, but the French one should be the 5.7 one there, kinda like the M4A2 (76) and M4A3 (76) being at 5.3 and 5.7 (respectively) due to better engine on M4A3 and the access to APCR. BR placement of tanks confuses me so much.

are you sure that youre using same gamemode for comparsion?
since french is 5.7 in GRB too

They are the same BR. If you swap between nations, and its a nation you dont play, it probably defaulted to arcade. You can change the gamemode you view the tree in with the drop down in the bottom right of the TT view.

I had a feeling this wasnt the case because usually French C&Ps of American vehicles are a HIGHER BR, not lower. Like the B-26B vs B-26C
