Tank description:

The B1 is a French tier 4 heavy tank.Development was started in 1921. The vehicle entered service in 1934. A total of 403 tanks were manufactured at Renault, FCM, Schneider, FAHM, and AMX factories. The vehicle was upgraded numerous times. Despite the outdated configuration, this tank earned a reputation as an invincible vehicle with reliable armor in battles against German troops from May through June 1940.The B1 is one of the lowest-tier heavy tanks available to the player, the other being the Durchbruchswagen 2 and the Type 95, with the Type 91 being a tier lower. Its armour is great all-around for its tier, though thinner than the Matilda''s and not as well sloped as the AMX 40’s. However, it is far faster and more manoeuvrable than all of those tanks. This allows you easily angle, re-angle and relocate as you need to with ease. Angling is near-essential for this tank to do really well. The side armour is as thick as the front''s (60mm), but the front has two easy-to-hit weak spots of only 45mm (hull gun and driver window). Its main weakness is its penetration (66mm), which, while able to penetrate almost all tanks in a tier 4 game (the Matilda being the main worry for B1 drivers), it can hold it back a lot in tier 5 games. Thankfully, as a tier 4 heavy, tier 5 games are the worst this tank can see. In tier 4 matches, played well, the B1 can be really fun and regularly carry games. Don''t overlook the B1''s high RoF, surprisingly good armour, and its vast HP pool; The highest of any tier 4.The B1 leads to the BDR G1 B.
