It's interesting how a tiny French WW I design set the pattern for the tank, even to this day. Considering their earlier efforts included the terrible St Chamond and the not much better Schneider, it is almost a miracle that the FT-17 had all the right parts in all the right places. Hindsight is 20/20, but in the dark days of 1916-1918, no one knew what a proper tank was supposed to look like.
