Part 8/11:
The British Mark IV, an improved version of the Mark I, featured two main variants: "male" with larger guns and "female" armed solely with machine guns. Although slower than the German A7V, with a maximum speed of about 6.5 km/h, the Mark IV offered increased firepower and armored protection.
The French FT-17 proved highly successful, combining mobility, firepower, and ease of mass production. Its reliability and adaptability made it a common sight on the battlefield, where it demonstrated the efficacy of armored maneuvering in breaking the deadlock of trench warfare.
