Historical Reference:

In the late 1940s, Schneider, a company leading in artillery development, designed a family of self-propelled gun carriages featuring high-speed chassis and automated loading mechanisms. The Schneider 120 AC “Gendarme” project aimed to create a more mobile version of a powerful 120mm gun installation, as compared to the heavy tank destroyer by AMX Foch. There was also an alternative version that considered installing a 130mm naval gun. The tactical use of these vehicles was similar to the AMX-13: after firing two “drums” of rounds at the target, the vehicle would retreat to cover for reloading. The fate of the Schneider 120 AC “Gendarme” mirrored that of other French tank destroyers, as in the early 1950s, it was decided to arm upcoming heavy tanks with the same 120mm guns, rendering these specialized tank destroyers obsolete.

  1. My opinion kind of changes with Lesta..

    Was going so great with all the tanks rebalancing, some maps reworks and then they never found the brake pedal…
    tanks spitting fire, clearly way too op tier XI tanks, and absolute numb additions of a tanks like THIS..

    1. This vehicle isnt even that crazy, 1.6s aim time will not keep up with 7 shots in 3.5 seconds, at best this thing sniping will deal 400 to 1200 in a burst with the occasional extra lucky hit. That ammounts to under 1600 or 2400 dpm sniping. If anything close range has any armor this thing will sink some shots into the floor or miss the weaspot a few times, again, 7 FORCED shots in 3.5 seconds.

      It has to snipe with the garbage paper armor and sheer amount of times it fires in bursts ruining the camouflage.

      It is a WT E 100 that has much less flexibility which made it overpowered and instead has larger clip potential cause the devs know it will literally never penetrate every shot unless its a 15-0 rush or a last stand against a light armor within 25 meters.

      Could be insanely broken, maybe more garbage than not, I have to wait to see.

      1. u interpret this tank wrong. its 8x 2 shots, with 3 sec between each 2-shell bursts. so pam-pam (with 0,5s intra) 3 sec pam-pam 3 sec etc.

        1. Oh, is this how it is? That explains the unusable aim time considering the intra clip with how i thought it was. Thanks. in that case this thing seems broken period with better flexibility than waffentrager e 100.

          1. Leave the commenting to adults who can read and comprehend. Something that you clearly struggle with.

            1. Either you’re a washed up forumite or an edgy teenager who stole someone’s username. Whichever the case, do us all a favor and leave this blog, go annoy people in the WoT discord.

              1. One day some of the kids from the neighbourhood carried my mother’s groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect.
                Something you don’t have or get.

  2. A Foch B/Grille 15 hybrid, interesting. Fingers crossed France will get a second TD line in the future.

  3. And the fucking Wg apes carry on with more autoloaders, those muppets can’t come with anything that is not autoloaders or hull down with high dépression, they are fucking pathetic…
    They used to make me dream and long for the next game, and now the make me sick and want to puke with each new piece of turd update or event

    1. this isn’t wg you moron.. play a game on lesta wot and you’ll see how better wg is when an actual tier 11 obj 279 bum rushes you.

  4. would be an interesting tank, if it wasnt a paper redliner with no hp. because 1. most maps are corridor trash, 2. matches are too quick and one sided for this thing to do anything meaningful, 3. fucking boring playstyle.
