Backstory (fictional)

The DBL-38 is a light infantry tank that was designed by Delaunay-Belleville, for the French Army prior to World War II. It had a crew of three and was equipped with a long 47 mm main armament and a 7.5 mm coaxial machine gun. Power was provided by a diesel engine. Designed in 1938, it was made to be a faster, and more agile version of the FCM-36 and was in competition with the Renault DAC-1.

    @Thefrenchdude22 awesome! I’m looking forward to trying that out. I enjoy using your tanks but since I use iOS they download without the tracks and are kind of a cool looking bunker/pillbox hahaha. I’m excited to finally use them properly!
