People misunderstand the French military. It’s not that they didn’t commit or invest in technology, it’s that they’d utterly commit to a course and not change. There’s this with the 75mm, there’s Elan and the Battle of the Frontiers in 1914, in 1940 having bet on Bombers they had more Fighters than Fighter Pilots and were only able to achieve a low sortie rate of 25% (can’t find source now).
Perhaps it’s in the Blood, the Charges at Agincourt were a bit stubborn as well.
