The Renault R35, although well armored, was slow and armed with a 37 mm SA 18 gun with a low initial projectile velocity. This made it a suitable opponent only for the German light tanks PzKpfw I and PzKpfw II and the captured Czech tanks PzKpfw 35(t) and PzKpfw 38(t). However, it was significantly inferior to the medium tanks PzKpfw III and PzKpfw IV. This publication analyzes these aspects in detail, giving a complete picture of the combat capabilities of this vehicle.
