Historical Reference:
The tank project had two rather revolutionary features for its time: a new combat compartment layout proposed by the Creusot-Loire conglomerate, and a dual-track propulsion system that allowed mobility even if one track was damaged. The combat compartment was divided by a partition into a crew section and a gun section with an autoloader consisting of a primary loading system for three rounds and an auxiliary mechanized storage. The key feature of the design was the ability to load the gun and replenish the primary storage without setting the gun at a fixed loading angle. However, the dual-track propulsion had downsides, such as increased weight of the chassis, more complex transmission and control, and several other issues requiring extensive further research. The combat compartment design, despite clear advantages, also had several “hidden pitfalls.” Ultimately, the project remained on paper.
