Each infantry regiment in the French Army fielded a platoon of three 25mm anti-tank guns. These regimental anti-tank gun platoons were backed up by the Compagnie Divisionnaire Anti-Chars (CDAC), the Divisional Anti-tank Company with an additional twelve 25mm guns.

The Hotchkiss 25mm SA-34 anti-tank gun that equips these units is an excellent, highly-accurate weapon that is capable of defeating the armor of any German tank.

With an effective flash suppressor, the SA-34 guns proved very difficult to spot when fired and on one occasion, a lone SA-34 was able to take out seven German Panzers in a single engagement.
