Wikipedia:
The Char B1 was a French heavy tank manufactured before World War II.
The Char B1 was a specialised break-through vehicle, originally conceived as a self-propelled gun with a 75 mm howitzer in the hull; later a 47 mm gun in a turret was added, to allow it to function also as a Char de Bataille, a "battle tank" fighting enemy armour, equipping the armoured divisions of the Infantry Arm. Starting in the early twenties, its development and production were repeatedly delayed, resulting in a vehicle that was both technologically complex and expensive, and already obsolescent when real mass-production of a derived version, the Char B1 "bis", started in the late thirties. Although a second up-armoured version, the Char B1 "ter", was developed, only two prototypes were built.
Among the most powerfully armed and armoured tanks of its day, the type was very effective in direct confrontations with German armour in 1940 during the Battle of France, but slow speed and high fuel consumption made it ill-adapted to the war of movement then being fought. After the defeat of France, captured Char B1 (bis) would be used by Germany, with some rebuilt as flamethrowers or mechanised artillery.

    But the Panther G / D and the T-34-85 are ones of the best mass produced tanks of the war.

    @Zandgard You can't compare a M4, A Panther and a B1 Bis. The B1 is from the start of the War. 30'. The M4 sherman is a Medium (exept for the Jumbo). And the Panther is a Medium for the germans and a Heavy for the allies (cause of is inclined frontal armor).

    @Mainblocks It depends on time line the Panther was medium and was heavier and the M4 has a close weight and medium so it more a heavy medium tank but you right

    Btw, every battle the B1 fought, the germans were in disaray. 1 B1 have stop an entire division to cross a village.

    This tank was never used in World War One. It was used in the beginning on World War Two during the Battle of France, where they were practically invulnerable to current German AT weaponry. Unfortunately, the tank by itself wasn’t enough to stop the Germans from taking France.
