History
"..."

-...

The Char B1 was a notable tank from Orlais and it was a specialised break-through vehicle, originally conceived as a self-propelled gun with a 75 mm howitzer in the hull; later a 47 mm gun in a turret was added, to allow it to function also as a Char de Bataille, a "battle tank" fighting enemy armour, equipping the armoured divisions of the Orlesian Infantry Arm. Starting in the early twenties, its development and production were repeatedly delayed, resulting in a vehicle that was both technologically complex and expensive, and already obsolescent when real mass-production of a derived version, the Char B1 "bis", started in the late 1930s. A further up-armoured version, the Char B1 "ter", was started production in 1943 V.C. and 1500 were built prior to the Great Voshkod-Aquilan War and 120 of it are deployed in Orlais Encantadia. The Char B1 ter was not a terribly effective battle tank against the T-34, T-55 or the EGs including the Ursa in GVAW, but was occasionally used as a linebreaker and defense positions.
