Playstyle
Spearhead Heavy Tank

The Char B1 is a great spearhead tank, you have very heavy armor and great firepower with long reload and decent speed for a heavy tank. Your front is impenetrable besides the turret ring to almost all Tier 1 tanks. However, your reload lasts 8 seconds and 13 seconds, giving your enemy lots of time to kill you. Quickly press A and D, might confuse your enemy if they are shooting for the turret ring and make it ricochet. Your hull gun can 1 shot most light armored vehicles. So prioritize your hull gun for light targets if facing more than 1 enemy. Also don't forget to angle at 20 to 40 degrees to further minimize the enemy chance of doing damage.

Char B1 (F) vs. VK 30.01 (H)
Equal matchup. The immovable object versus the unstoppable force. When facing the VK your hull gun is useless, it is a mere BB gun to the VK. Use your 47mm, aim for the gun mantlet, and pray. The VK has the better armament, while the B1 has better armour. Battles between these two huge heavies can be the longest slugfests in Tier 1.
