The Char D2 was a French medium tank operated during the interwar period between World Wars I and II. While the Char D1 was ordered, a design was developed to create a more advanced tank. The Char D1 had already evolved from an infantry support tank to a medium tank capable of engaging and eliminating enemy tanks. This made it the obvious candidate as a replacement for the Char B1 heavy tank, as the latter was on the verge of being prohibited by an armament limitation treaty under the auspices of the League of Nations, which would impose a weight limit of twenty metric tonnes for armoured fighting vehicles.

Introduced in Update "Starfighters", the Char D2 should primarily be used as a support tank. In an offensive role, you help destroy approaching enemy tanks and capture objectives. Stay close to the frontline to maximize penetrating power from your main armament, but remain a safe distance from the major fighting zones to prevent being flanked or swarmed. When fighting enemy tanks, always angle to enhance frontal armour. However, since the armour is not thick enough to provide frontal immunity, it is vital not to linger out in the open. Stay close to an obstacle that you can use as a cover if you are hit and need to repair.
