I had done the Stats for R35 an i concur with this info, but the R35/45
Vanatorul De Care R35 (Transformat)
June 1944 is the appearance date
Russian 45mm, L44 M1932 A/t Gun instead of the 37mm gun
They were pretty much useless as Russian armour were T34 or better
The R35 normal version appear 39 before the start of ww2 (July? 39. this info is very sketchy) 41 arrived from France the other 35 came from Poland.
Penetration stats
52mm 100m, 37mm 500m,24mm 1000m, 16mm 1500m
10-8-5-3
