Tank description:
The Hotchkiss H35 is a French tier 2 light tank.Cavalry support tank. Developed in 1934. Mass production was launched in 1935, with a total of 400 vehicles manufactured. In 1938 a new modification, the H38, entered production. About 1000 of the H35/H38/H39 vehicles were produced.In a tier filled with fast and agile tanks, the H35, along with its German premium counterpart the Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f) and the other French Tier 2 tank, the D1, stands out with its exceptionally thick armor and relatively low mobility. It is particularly well-suited to leading assaults or locking down avenues of approach, especially with the support of the team. This tank, while slow as mentioned, can act as a heavy when top tier. Its 25mm Rascucci has an incredible RoF able to rival the Matilda. But dont be fooled. The damage is low but acceptable for a tier 2. Make sure to keep your turret somewhat angled and avoid shooting tracks, due to the bad multi-layer penetration on armored targets. The shortest route is almost always preferable to a longer travel. You''ll soon find this rolling machine gun to be an unstoppable force against the enemy team.The Hotchkiss H35 marks the end of its French light line.
