WoT: Char Mle. 75 Review – A Speedy Scout

The Char Mle. 75 is not only the first Tier IX Premium light tank in the game; it’s also the first vehicle at this tier to sport a burst-fire autoloader. The 100 mm SA47-75 cannon uses clips of six AP, APCR, or HE shells. Unlike a regular autoloader, one shot from the Char Mle. 75 fires three rounds in rapid succession. This means it only takes two clicks to unleash the full hailstorm of shells. Both AP and APCR shells can cause an average of 200 HP of damage, with 200 mm and 240 mm of penetration, respectively. HE shells weigh in at 370 HP of damage with 53 mm of penetration. With its 42-shell capacity and three shells per clip, you will have a limited number of shots, so try to make every fight count.

As a fast scout, the Char Mle. 75 will not set damage records, but its gun handling and elevation angles are enough to hunt enemy light tanks, take out lower-tier tank destroyers, and finish off already battered opponents. However, using Rapid mode will impact the performance of your cannon, so make sure to switch before engaging.

Survivability

The Char Mle. 75 is a light tank with armor to match its type, which means you should rely on your speed and camouflage more than your ability to ricochet shots or take damage. However, with 8 degrees of gun depression, you can successfully play hull-down tactics and give enemies a hard time hitting the small turret.

Just remember to constantly analyze and adapt to the situation on the battlefield if you want to see the end of the match. Collect intel for your team as an active scout, then only take on the role of a lightning-fast flanker to finish off stragglers or tanks low on HP.

If you can tame the hurricane power of the Char Mle. 75, you can make a decisive contribution to your team’s victory.

Mobility

The Char Mle. 75 has a real ace up its sleeve when it comes to mobility. As one of the first tanks equipped with a gas-turbine engine, it can literally go into overdrive and turn on Rapid mode. Just like the CS-63, for example, this French newcomer can also choose between extra speed and agility, or better gun handling, view range, and camouflage.

In Cruise mode, the top speed maxes out at 55 km/h, the view range sits at a usable 370 meters, and the camouflage values are almost average. However, if you switch to Rapid mode, you’ll increase your top speed to 75 km/h and become one of the fastest tracked vehicles in the game! Turret rotation, view range, camouflage values, and even aiming time will take a hit, but your improved power-to-weight ratio will let you take the best positions right from the start, so you can easily get to places that other lights can only look at in envy.

Aboard this French speedster, knowing the battlefield is more important than ever. So, brush up on the best scouting positions if you want to get the most out of the newcomer.
