Tank description:

The FCM 36 is a French tier 2 light tank.Developed in the mid-1930s as an infantry-support tank. It was the only French vehicle to utilize a diesel engine. By 1939, a total of 100 vehicles were manufactured.The FCM 36 is much like the Hotchkiss H35 and D1. Compared to other tier 2 tanks it lacks speed and mobility while having good armor. Its thick and well sloped armor is immune to most autocannons. Don''t be afraid to lead a charge, although that rarely happens seeing as its so slow. Please note that you will often be left behind at the start of the battle due to the speed.The FCM 36 leads to the AMX 38, and the Somua S35.
