The vehicle was thus less cramped than earlier designs, the crew could walk, slightly crouching, throughout the hull. Le Panzerkampfwagen IV (PzKpfw IV), souvent appelé Panzer IV était un char d'assaut utilisé par l'Allemagne pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. He was much more alarmed than Joffre had been. The commander pointed the gun by observing the target through a vane sight, fitted on the turret roof, from his rectangular "cupola". The track would easily slip when braked, though it was on no occasion thrown. When the German Panzerdivisionen, in the execution of Operation Fall Rot, breached the French lines after 10 June 1940, the decision was made to prevent the capture of the famous equipment. However, the FCM tank had already made a powerful and influential enemy. Joffre advised Estienne not to worry too much; he would make sure at least that the Renault FT would not be cancelled, and precisely because heavy tank development would take such a long time, for the immediate future it would not get in the way of light tank production. The Char 2C had a loaded weight of 69 tonnes, partly because of its armour, which was among the thickest of World War I-era tanks, but mostly because of its huge size. French politicians, not having been greatly involved in them and leaving the matter to the military, were no less inquisitive.

Conçu initialement comme char d'appui-feu, avec un canon de 75 mm court, pour le Panzerkampfwagen III, il finit par remplacer ce dernier quand les chars alliés devinrent trop protégés pour celui-ci. Estienne told Pétain that this was ill-advised while the public was questioning why these heavy tanks had not been produced. A speed of 6 km/h was attained. He specified a weight of forty tonnes, an immunity against light artillery rounds and a trench-crossing capacity of 3.5 metres.[4]. The Consultative Committee of the Assault Artillery (Comité Consultatif de l'Artillerie d'Assaut or CCAS) had been created on 13 December 1916 and for the first time met on 17 December. It is still easily the largest tank ever taken into production. Meanwhile, Renault had consulted his own team, led by Rodolphe Ernst-Metzmaier, which since May 1916 had been in the process of designing the revolutionary Renault FT light tank. The main problem was that it proved difficult to steer the tank due to its extreme track length and insufficient chain link profile. [2] In this period both the French and the British military had become aware of severe mobility and steering problems with heavy tracked vehicles; the French designs paralleled extensive British experiments with all kinds of improved tank transmissions to solve them. It had a length of 8.35 m (27.4 ft), a width of 2.842 m (9.32 ft), a hull height of 1.98 m (6.5 ft), a turret roof height of 2.785 m (9.14 ft) and a total height, cupola included, of 3 m (9.84 ft). The first engines were of the Chenu type, of 210 hp each. Joffre answered that Estienne was no doubt correct in his tactical and organisational analysis, but that he could not oblige him because political backing of the heavy tank was simply too strong. Guy François, 2011, "Le char lourd FCM 1A, ou le rêve immolé". On his return an enraged Thomas caused Mourret to be fired, thus removing Estienne's greatest rival. Pétain asked for 300 heavy tanks to be ready by March 1919, causing a quarrel to erupt between Clemenceau, who was both Prime-Minister and Minister of War, and Loucheur, the Minister of Armament, who felt it was impossible to provide the labour and steel required. Paul Malmassari, 2013, "Les Maxi-Chars au-delà du Char Lourd, 1re partie – 1916-1927: Du char de rupture au char de forteresse". Cependant, de nombreux officiers militaires ont constaté le potentiel de ces machines blindées pendant les combats directs. The tank could be entered through the cupola, but each member had oval or round escape hatches above or below him. It featured a 105 mm gun in a turret, had a proposed weight of 38 tons and 35 mm armour. To prevent a capture of the matériel by the enemy, it was ordered to destroy the vehicles. Les allemands qui n'ont construit que 80 casemates chenillées A7V durant la 1ère Guerre mondiale, n'oublieront pas la leçon. Charges were placed and the fuel pipes cut.

After the war, rumours circulated that this vehicle had been transported to the Soviet Union.[12]. The front of the hull followed the profile of the tall climbing faces of the tracks and therefore gradually curved upwards, ending in a high, vertical, nose plate.

On 24 June the ministry of armament complained about the situation. To stop this, the Direction de l’Artillerie d’Assaut on instigation of Estienne decided in April 1919 to procure ten Char 2Cs after all, and use this as an argument to reject any other projects. [8], To man the tank required a crew of twelve: driver, commander, gunner, loader, four machine gunners, mechanic, electrician, assistant-electrician/mechanic and a radio operator. To the public, they obtained the reputation of invincible super tanks, the imagined dimensions of which far surpassed the actual particulars. A possible explanation of the delays might be a deliberate decision by Renault to give priority to other projects. The 1 February order of two additional prototypes was confirmed by the CCAS on 7 February. It was more or less compartmentalised into four sections, that however were not separated by bulkheads: a relatively short driver compartment at the front, a fighting compartment with a turret at its top, a larger munitions room and finally a large engine compartment at the rear. Ceci est un(e) Monture terrestre. By the end of the 1930s they were largely obsolete, because their slow speed and high-profile made them vulnerable to advances in anti-tank guns. Brigadier Jean Baptiste Eugène Estienne, commander of the new tank force, the Assault Artillery, closely cooperated with Renault in the development of the Renault FT, and through this connection was kept well informed of the other tank project. In January 1917, the Ministry of Armament proposed to build three weight classes of tanks: light, medium and heavy tanks,[3] the latter class corresponding to the new project. On 12 October, knowing that the Renault company had some months earlier made several proposals to build a heavy tracked mortar which had been rejected, he begged Louis Renault to assist FCM in the development of a suitable heavy vehicle; this request Renault obliged.

A plan by Breton to immediately order fifty vehicles more or less identical to the mock-up was therefore rejected. The axle track, measured between the inner track sides, was 225 centimetres. Cependant les nombreux échecs des prototypes rendirent la tâche difficile mais ces trois grands hommes restèrent convaincus que l’avenir de la guerre résidait dans les chars. The FCM 1A, with its futuristic appearance, made an excellent impression on those present. [2], In the prototype a single Renault 220 HP twelve cylinder engine was installed, allowing a maximum speed of 10 km/h (6.2 mph) at 1200 rpm. OpenSubtitles2018.v3 OpenSubtitles2018.v3 .

[7] Adding the cupola, normally detached for transport, brought height to 408 centimetres. The broken down tanks N° 92 and 95 were destroyed, at Mairy-Mainville and Piennes respectively. On 15 September 1916 the British introduced the Mark I tank in the Battle of the Somme, and a veritable tank euphoria followed. Onze mois plus tard, 57 divisions allemandes dont 10 blindées règlent le sort de la Pologne en quelques semaines. The front turret, made of 35 mm plates, was placed so high that its crew had to climb into it by means of a ladder, sitting on seats suspended from the turret roof and operating on an elevated level compared to the hull machine gunners below. Un/une sort de World of Warcraft. La Grande Bretagne en première et la France, quelques mois après, donnent naissance à l’arme  blindée. After a decision taken in December 1922, from 1923 until 1926 the later Champagne was modified at La Seyne into the Char 2C bis, an experimental type with a 155 mm howitzer in a rounded cast steel turret. When Thomas happened to visit Russia, Mourret surreptitiously ordered a restart of the tank projects. L'arme blindée allait alors rentrer dans son âge d'or. There would surely be no harm in allowing some prototypes to be built. The three independent 8 mm machine gun positions, one at each side and one to the right of the driver at the front, all in ballmounts, gave protection against infantry assault. French command was aware that this reputation was undeserved. Le premier char allemand, le Panzer I, s'il apparait très rudimentaire, peu arme (deux mitrailleuses en tourelle) et mal blindé (13 mm), est en revanche de fabrication facile. Estienne began to fear that the production of the heavy vehicle would use up all available production facilities, making the procurement of the much more practical Renault FT light tank impossible. They were used instead for numerous morale-boosting movies, in which they were often shown climbing and crushing old French forts. Between 15 November and 15 December 1939 the Lorraine, as the company command tank, was experimentally up-armoured at the Société des Aciéries d'Homecourt to make it immune to standard German antitank guns. Nevertheless, during the French mobilisation of 1939, all ten were activated and put into their own unit, the 51st Bataillon de Chars de Combat. [2] In fact the company, in its efforts to get an actual running vehicle ready as soon as possible, had built a prototype that was largely based on the original mock-up[2] and thus was much closer to the "B"-concept, albeit with a 105 mm gun and a petrol-mechanical transmission; the hydraulic transmission had been abandoned by the CCAS on 10 May.

In this configuration the tank weighed perhaps 74 tons. Actuellement, par exemple, 33 pays possèdent plus de 1 000 chars d’assaut …

External communications were the responsibility of the mechanic who could open a little hatch just behind the turret to give signals by flags, flares or electrical lights. [8] In 1923, these were replaced by captured German 6 cylinder 200 hp Mercedes engines allowing for a top speed of twelve kilometres per hour.
