Char D2

French plans to create new modern infantry support tanks led to the development of the Renault Char D1. However even while the Char D1 was being produced, work was proceeding on the Renault Char D2.
The Char D2 was armed with a 47mm gun, coaxial 7.5mm MG and a bow 7.5mm MG. A few were re-equipped with the long barreled SA35 47mm cannon.
Only a hundred of these tanks were ever produced, because it was decided to use the Char B1 as the main tank equipping the armoured divisions.
