Yep but the germans had their stukas and learned from the First World War and mastered the combined warfare of air force and tanks, which broke the french's neck very quickly. Likewise with the germans towards the end of the war when the allies had won air superiority and their tiger 2s and heavy tanks were simply fodder for allied aircraft.

I like all Chapter 2 maps, Stonne for tanking and Maginot/Dinant for some good old infantry action ;)

During Stonne a french B1 took about 130 shots, and not a single one penetrated it's armor. The tanks weren't bad, in fact they were much much better as a "tank" than the German Panzers at the time, the French just didn't know how to use them because the doctrine was fairly new. That aside, I'm so glad that this game is being resurrected.

@@Tiger01 nonsense. The french had one less armored division than the germans. And even being at 50% of their theorical strength, when those clashed in battle with german armored divisions, despite the air superiority, they managed to cause way more losses than they took. The infantry support tanks were in infantry support. Cavalry tanks were in armored divisions: Divisions Légères Mécanisées ( DLMs ) and Divisions Cuirassées ( DC ). The Wehrmacht pushed where there was little resistance with help of the aviation. There are many factors involved in the events of 1940, but "the french tanks just for infantry support" is not one of them.

It's a shame that the amored mode is almost no longer played. The few servers that are still full, are only running the offensive mode, great video as always and I'm glad that I can still play my round Post Scriptum in the evening - still the best ww2 game out there!

I'm glad they're trying to revive it. The fact that a WW2 FPS dares to go THIS early in the war (Enlisted is probably the earliest at Autumn 1941) is underappreciated.

Thanks for showing these , always interesting to see the tanks crews perspective of the battlefield.

Fun fact: The Battle of Stonne was hell. The village switched hands SEVENTEEN TIMES in THREE days. The Germans got severe PTSD from it, they ended up comparing Stonne to Verdun, Stalingrad and Monte Cassino in terms of brutality. The French B1 Bis scared them they reported they encounter "60 tons superheavy tanks" (B1 Bis were "only" 30 tons). And they got severe PTSD not only because of the fighting but also because of a B1 Bis nicknamed "Riquewihr", unable to shoot infantry hiding in trenches, rolled inside said trenches, crushing German troops under its tracks. When the tracks came out, they were covered in blood and organs, terrorizing the Germans who ran away quickly.

This game is what modding comebacks are made for!

It's an open secret that American tank designers and engineers were heavily inspired by French 1940 tank designs. The Char Bis 1 looks identical to the American interim medium tank, the M3. The French Somua looks like a M4 Sherman tank. The French government just before WW2 approached the U.S. Government with blueprints of French tanks, inquiring as to whether the United States could produce French tanks. The Americans peered at the French tank designs and must have realized these are state-of-the-art designs. We should copy these and upgrade it for American use. Indeed, the M3 and M4 American tanks were superior to their French antecedents.

The losses in this battle were numerous, constituting one of the costliest battles in terms of human lives inflicted during the French campaign. The majority of the engaged German troops belonging to the Grossdeutschland regiment were lost during the battle, these losses being 570 men in total, including 103 killed. Likewise, the 67th French RI suffered numerous losses with 362 soldiers killed and many wounded. A company of the 51st RI even finished the battle with only five sergeants and 30 soldiers. According to the back cover of the book The Battle of Stonne: Ardennes, May 1940 by Dominique Lormier, the battle is described as follows: “This battle, little known to the general public, which took place from May 14 to 25, 1940, is notable for the intelligent use, on the French side, of tanks associated with infantry and artillery. It is in a way the model of what should have been achieved on the entire front, namely the speed of violent counterattacks, using all the firepower of modern weaponry at key points. Furthermore, it undermines the received idea of ​​the material superiority of the German army. The B1 bis tank is indeed superior in several points to the Panzer: thicker armor, unparalleled weaponry. But the big drawback of the B1 bis tank was its enormous consumption of gasoline, which forced it to continually go back to refuel. Tanks running out of gas were lost to the Germans. German General Guderian in contact with the Grossdeutschland regiment during that day indicated that "the atmosphere was a little nervous." The 10th Panzer Division's operations log noted that the French counterattack was extremely dangerous, threatening the flank of the German 19th Army Corps. General Hermann Hoth wrote after the war that by delaying intervention and not committing all the armored forces available to French General Jean Flavigny, “the French missed a favorable opportunity; this counterattack, carried out in a resolute manner, could have changed defeat into victory.” This battle, and the losses on both sides, demonstrate the combativeness of the belligerents.

Somehow this reminds me of good old Diplexheated. Before he started playing with toy soldiers.

The Germans have gone from claiming they were the superior army in 1940 to in 2023 claiming that France had the better army but the Germans had the better mindset. That's more accurate. Given its numerical and qualitative superiority in tanks and with more inspired military and civilian leadership, France should have been able on its own to trounce the Nazis and force Hitler to an armistice, even without British assistance.
