in french case, but given a good crew they can be awesome weps...
however the french arnt the only country to build tanks which were flops...

us: sheridan, stryker (not a tank), M1a1 (before general tal came in)

britain: churchil, cruiser tank

russia: t-72 (early versions)

israel: took alot of deaths before ERA and added armor became the standard, i lost a cousin who died in a centurion...
