Quick Summary

The 2C tank was a French heavy tank developed after World War I. It was one of the first tanks to feature a turret-mounted 75-mm gun, a significant advancement for its time. Weighing 68 tons, the 2C was a powerful vehicle, though its size and complexity limited its production and widespread use. This development reflected a broader trend in the interwar period towards creating more capable tanks, moving beyond the lighter, machine-gun-armed vehicles of World War I. The 2C represented an early effort to equip tanks with heavier artillery for improved combat effectiveness.1
