Whilst access to strategic resources came to an halt, Aldonace had to divert the development of several heavy tank projects to a more feasible 'light-tank' project.

This would mean that they would use the C5-6 chassis and suspension one more time - but with a completely different hull and turret. The Arma Christo Char C10 was risen from smoldering ashes.



1942 was the year this project was finalized by Aldonace engineers, after 2 years of stagnant development with other projects.

Every new technological innovation that the engineers and scientists were able to come up with until that point, would be utilized within the A.C. Char C10.

A staggering total of 218 were produced as effective support armor attachments to older vehicles.



This tank was not comparable to previous tanks of the Aldonace war effort - it was simply too new, despite the recycled suspension and chassis of previous models.

They were ideal in outflanking the enemy and bore through the armor at close-range.

At the rear, was an innovating twin engine, the Joubert V12-Double 285 hp petrol engine. On the road it had a top speed of 58 km/h.

It at an improved armored engine-cap at its rear, which ensured that no stray shell would graze by the vital organs of this tank.

The weight of the light tank was 19.9 tons.

At the front the Char C10 had an armor plate which was 35mm in thickness. The sides had a respective 15mm thickness of armor, and the rear of the vehicle had 15mm as well.

40mm of armor thickness was the front of the turret, but effective armor thickness was higher due to the sloped nature of the turret.

The main armament, mounted inside the turret was a 57 mm Modèle Principal 41. The secondary armament was a mounted 12.7 BBM-2 1942.



The crew of 4 had the following roles: driver, loader, commander/radio operator, gunner .
