TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Late 1916 appeared the first British tanks. As a reaction the Imperial Army obtained the A7V. 100 tanks have been ordered but only 20 have been supplied by Daimler-Benz as of October 1917.
This 30 Metric Tons tank was powered by two Daimler-Benz engines yielding 100 hp each. A road top-speed of 10 km/h could be reached. The armour's thickness ranged from 20 to 30 mm. The armament of the A7V was made up six 7.92 mm Maxim machine-guns supplied with 36,000 cartridges, a flame-thrower and a 57 mm rapid-firing gun with 180 shells. Up to 18 soldiers manned this vehicle.
The A7V first saw action in the Aisne at Saint-Quentin late March 1918. Although superior under many aspects to its French and British opponents, a mechanical unreliability and a poor capacity to cross the trenches hindered this armoured fighting vehicle from asserting itself on the battlefield.
