Notes: No radio. The FT-17 was the oldest tank to be used in WWII, having originally been introduced in 1917. It was also the first with a fully revolving turret, and was a highly influential tank throughout the 20's. Needless to say it was hopelessly out of date by 1940, when 1,600 of them were still in service.

Stats: 2 crew; 4.10×1.74×2.14m; Weight: 7.0 tonne; 35HP; P/W Ratio: 5.0HP/tonne; Produced: 2500
