History

The FCM F1 was a French super-heavy tank developed during the early stages of the war. Twelve were ordered in 1940 to replace the Char 2C, but France was defeated before construction could begin, a wooden mock-up being all that was finished. The FCM F1 was large and elongated, and had two turrets: one in front and one in the back, with a single high-velocity gun in each turret. The rear turret was higher so it could shoot over the first one. Its size and protection level made it by 1940 the heaviest tank ordered for production. Despite using two engines its speed would have been very slow dew to its extreme weight.
