So, I think, that we need three tanks: FT MG-armed, FT gun-armed and M.28 gun-armed. Do you know, if M.28 was their official designation? They are usually described in sources as M.26/27 or M.27/28 or NC-2 and nobody seems to know what is correct.

By the way: a proper picture for MG-armed 001 FT is eg. 27560.

There really are no tanks with speed less than 6, which translates to 18 km/h. The real FT-17 of course could do about 8 km/h on road, which would be speed 3 in game terms. I think the original SP and DOS SPWW2 limited the minimum speed of motor vehicles to 6, but as far as I know that limitation is no longer in place. Setting the unit sound manually may still be necessary. Perhaps Don can enlighten us. I don't have time to try that right now.

As for the NC.27, the Landships website claims that some were sold to Yugoslavia:

It's under French tanks.

Unfortunately the article does not mention the source, so who knows where the writer got that info from.

As I've said, it would be unreasonable to have tanks slower, than the infantry in the game, so I guess there's no use to change this lower limit.

As for the Landships, they clearly mix two tanks: NC-2 (M-26/27) with Kegresse rubber tracks, which was actually used by Yugoslavia (photos Renault_NC_6 and 7 on that page) and redesigned NC-1/NC-27 with steel tracks.
