Notes: No radio. A reliable and fast tank, better than most of its German opponents. The one-man turret was its only major design flaw. Nevertheless its armor, firepower, and radio made it one of the best tanks in service in 1940. The S40 had an improved engine.

Stats: 3 crew; 5.38×2.12×2.62m; Weight: 19.5 tonne; 190HP; P/W Ratio: 9.7HP/tonne; Produced: 300; Main Ammo: 118 rounds
