    Simple really
    >considered armour a support arm subservient to the infantry
    >no combined arms doctrine
    >spread it out instead of concentrating it
    >expected their defences would hold and that the Germs wouldn't attack through the forests

    Also, the CharB wasn't very good. It was oversized ans slow.

      >>no combined arms doctrine
      These two statements are at odds with one another. You may have a low IQ.

        Armor is supposed to be paired with motorized infantry. Pairing armor with non-motorized infantry is totally different and wrong.

    French tanks were flawed when it came to fighting, they had no radios and one-man turrets, it doesnt matter if the were better in every other way.

    Your question is like asking "how did our football team lose when we just got new shoes?"
    It's one very small variable in the outcome

          Development started in 1921. It’s an interwar tank developed to handle conditions that were encountered in WW1. Do you also believe the TOG was a WW1 tank?

    France's situation in 1940 is the equivalent of Mike Tyson getting into a boxing ring with Larry Holmes and Holmes rears up and hits him in the jaw with a spinning heel kick.

    The French didn't even have radio communication.
    They still communicated with visual signals, while the Germans used radio.
    This made all tank battles ridiculously one sided. The only time French tanks outperformed German ones was in the fighting for a village named Stonne, when an isolated French tank (who thus didnt need to communicate with fellow tanks) rampaged and destroyed a dozen German tanks on its own.
