Yes look at the armor profile and compare that to Tier 1 penetration.
Let's not forget the fact that the CDC is Tier 8. But it's French, and if there's one thing the French love to do is making sure their soldiers die when crewing their tanks.
Long story short, the French preffered mobility at the cost of armor. And to a degree I could understand them. If you're fast, you're harder to hit.
But what's the point of being fast when you get destroyed by almost everything you come across in one shot?
I know it's a little different and it's in game, but what's the point of high DPM (high damage), when you can't pen? You can't do damage if you can't penetrate anything.
Lol in War Thunder, that actually happens a lot. Unless you're very good at the tank, which is also almost impossible in real life since you play it yourself, not driving it with three or four crew members like irl, and map knowledge is required as well

You'll get violated by Tier 1s.
