Agreed! I’d love to see how Sunday Silence would interact with her IRL children and grandchildren, like Cafe, Tachyon, Stego, Spe, or Suzuka. Could make for a lot of fun shenanigans!
I’d definitely also love to see how the dynamic between her and Mejiro McQueen would be like, considering the two were very close IRL.

Regarding the commentary, that's what happens to real-life grey horses. They start out black/dark colored, and the color fades over time, often in different portions of the body, until it eventually becomes all grey.

I do wonder why their genes do that, it has to be something that only happens to domesticated horse because I don't see any use of that in the wild. If anything, it would make you a bigger target for predators

Looking at all the gray coats (ie. Oguri, Golshi, etc), that's definitely the case. Back when they were racing they had much darker coat but later in life they all become gray.

And this was also brought up in Uma!Chrono's secret as well in fact; which makes it clear that her hair color is getting lighter and lighter.

The main drawback of practically ALL French tanks was their one-man-turret. The poor guy in the turret had to command the tank, load, lay and fire the gun. This made them tactical inferior to the thinner armored German tanks, which had three men in the turret: The commander could concentrate on his job, while the other two handled the gun. The FCM 36 had the additional fault of a weak main gun, not able to penetrate armour.

Not just one-man turret. According to what I see from Chieftain's Hatch videos while he is on Saumur, the vision is not great either.

And the problem with B1 also the fact that it need a specific castor oil to operate reliably, but somehow crews are not properly informed about this so they use any kind of Castor oil which affected B1 reliability.

Don't forget that the french had somewhere between fuck and all radios for their tanks and thus had to rely on easily severed telephone lines, runners and even carrier pigeons. That more than anything probably contributed to most of the fuckups during the French campaign. Well that and the average dude on the ground couldn't call for arty fire support because they deemed only officers worthy of such a task.
