After considering for a while, Colonel Estiny responded:
"I understand what you mean, Colonel!"
"If it were a solo battle, the 'Shire A1' might have an advantage. But if the 'Shire A1' faced a group of such tanks, it might be overwhelmed."
"Moreover, Schneider can modify this tank with a rotating turret, at which point the 'Shire A1' would have no advantage at all."
To put it simply, whatever the 'Shire A1' has, this tank can also have. It also has the advantage of mobility over the 'Shire A1'.
Then what advantage does the 'Shire A1' have to defeat it?
Shire was almost left speechless by Estiny.
Tanks of this era might have been misled by the success of the 'Shire A1', tank warfare theory suddenly shifted from super heavy types like 'Saint Chammon' and A7V to the other extreme—super light types.
This is very French. They always try to find an absolutely correct theory and stick to it, hoping to win without doing anything else.
