Backstory (fictional)

The Char B2 is the Logical evolution in the french B series of tanks. Compared to his predecessor, the B2 is larger, and posesses updated conponents, such as an improved Naeder transmission, a bigger, three man turret (ARL-3), slopped armor, and overall, a larger and bulkier estethic. Armored up to 80mm and armed with a 75mm SA-40 canon and a 105mm Howitzer Gun, The B2 was nicknamed "The French collossus" by german tankers, as they had even more problems taking down this tank, compared to the B1. Serving as both a frontline and fortress tank, the Char B2 proved to be detrimental in the war effort to pierce the Siegfried Line, along with the FCM F1.
