Competing with AMX, the company of SOMUA also designed a new tank for the French army. SOMUA started out immediately with a Char lourd, heavy tank, of some 60 tonnes. Here too a lot of inspiration and components were adopted from German tanks like the Tiger Ausf. B, which it is very similar to, and the Panther. Adhering to strict details and requirement from the French army, the SOMUA and AMX designs became virtually identical, with the SOMUA design rejected for lack of developed components.
