The vehicle was powered by Renault '4 Cylinder 35hp' petrol powerplant producing 35 HP which could drive the vehicle on roads at up to 5 mph with a range of about 35 miles before refuelling. Its cross country performance was poor providing a max speed of about 3 mph and a range of about 14 miles.
It was armed with 1 light machine gun. This was theCommand version of the FT17 and had the turret replaced by a box like superstructure, and radio and telephone links. | |

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.
The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive
and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The
information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre,
the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation
originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
