Cannon Automoteur de 17 Livres sur Chassis Renault 35 (projekt)

After the end of World War II, the company AMX in 1945 developed two tank fighter projects based on the Renault R-35 tank platform. The chassis was to be fitted with a top-opening body of rounded shapes and to house a British 17-pounder anti-tank gun. However, the project erroneously specified a 16-pounder gun. The first project planned to mount the gun in the front half-sphere of the vehicle (combat weight - 11 900 kg, 70 rounds) and the second project to mount the gun in the rear half-sphere (combat weight - 11 046 kg, 42 rounds). However, only sketches were made. The project was unviable and costly compared to the Sherman tanks in use with the same gun, so the projects were not continued.
