Unfortunatly in addition to his gun firing duties this man was also the tank commander. So either the tank had no commander or it had no antitank gun. The 75mm in the hull was a terrible low velocity HE affair with minimal traverse.

Truly a useless overweight immobile pice of toejam.

The Somua, although it shared the same awful turret layout, was a much more useful and better tank design.
