![]() The failure of the armament limitation talks resulted in a severe reduction of the projected manufacture, now in the form of an interim tank. The tank should be able to serve as an alternative in the rôle of battle tank for the heavy Char B1, should the latter be forbidden by treaty. By using welded armour plate instead of the dated riveted design of the D1 this would be lighter than a simple version of the D1 made with thicker plating. ![]() In 1930, at a time the Char D1 had not even entered production, the Renault company agreed to build a better armoured version called the Char D2. 1934 loses all penetration over 395 m.Ĭhar D2, lighter and around three times cheaper alternative to Char B1 heavy tank The 47 mm SA34 stock gun is utterly useless even in a Tier 3 match, while the 25 mm Canon Raccourci mle. Without it, the D2 can mount only the lightest of equipment. In a Tier 4 match, the D2 can still be competitive, but has to be on the lookout for certain dangerous threats like the Hetzer, Matilda, and B1. It is highly vulnerable to being swarmed by faster tanks and can be easily circled thanks to its slow turret and hull traverse speeds. What really lets the D2 down is its underwhelming mobility. The top gun, the 47 mm SA37, is an excellent gun for a Tier 3 tank, easily capable of dispatching most other Tier 3 tanks. In a Tier 3 match, a D2 that has properly angled its armor is a formidable opponent for most tanks. ![]() The D2 features the second heaviest armor of any Tier 3 tank (the heaviest being the other French Tier 3 tank, the AMX 38), and has a good pool of HP. Inferior to the Somua S35 in every aspect.Well protected from most autocannons except in weak spots.
