H 39

 

The French H39 light tank was one of the better French tanks employed in 1940.  It was reliable, had decent armor of 40mm and a gun on average with they day of 37mm.  Equal, in fact, to the much less numerous Pz III if faced.  The main drawback of this tank was decisive; it was a two-man tank, forcing the commander to fire the weapon in battle rather than command his tank and other tanks he may be in charge of.
