WoT RU 1.32 Common Test: Tracteur D In-Game Screenshots & Historical Reference

Tracteur D (French, Tier-8, HT, premium)

Historical Reference

After the end of World War I, the French command considered the concept of a heavy tank designed to strengthen the Maginot Line. In May 1936, the task of designing the project was assigned to AMX, ARL, and FCM companies. AMX developed the project for a super-heavy tank under the name Tracteur C based on the combat experience of World War I.

The Tracteur D project was a further development of the Tracteur C project. The new tank design included anti-shell armor, an auxiliary turret at the rear (as on the AMX Tracteur C), and the main turret located in the center. Since the ASTER engines had problems, the project was redesigned to use an aviation engine by Hispano-Suiza. By the time the AMX Tracteur D prototype was ready in 1940, France had already fallen, so the project remained only in draft form.

  1. they talk about the armor and engines, but what about the gun?
    is it the 105mm like the AMX Tracteur C or the (in)famous 165mm from the fake leaks from a couple of years ago about a SEAM 220 ton super heavy tank?

    1. It’s the 130mm Mle 1924, a naval gun used on the Le Adroit-class destroyers. No clue what it’s doing here and considering I can find no references to a Tracteur D anywhere, it’s possible that this is a fake.
