We have preliminary stats and texture pics for this tier II Armoured Car from the forums.
The Gendron-Somua has a crew of two: A Commander with extra skills and a Driver. Gameplay-wise, this vehicle will be typical of similar light tanks of the tier: rapid, fast-shooting but vulnerable. The differences lay in the handling and driving. It is hard to pin-down the Gendron-Somua, you need to damage more than half of its wheels to bring it to a stop. The vehicle is also armed with a 25-mm rapid-firing autocannon. To sum it up, the Gendron-Somua is a fast vehicle able to quickly take key positions and use its rapid-firing gun. This armoured car’s further fate and its exact specs will depend on test results.
So by this, we can assume the French wheeled tech tree might be a full tier 2 to tier 10??
No, they stated that it was complicated to create a whole branch so they will be from tier 6 (after the ELC BIS) to tier 10. This vehicle will probably be given during some kind of event like WG/WOT anniversary.
Looks funky. Me wants it.
Finally, looks like we could finally get a French gift tank, or this case, armored car.
Yeah I think they realize hey it be a good runners vs chasers tank
Should’ve been the Panhard 201.
yeah.. a tank with 90mm as gift tank.. very smart indeed..
Aw, it’s cute
