Notes

  1. ↑ 3,177 were for France, at least 517 for the Allies; later the U.S. made 950 M1917s (FT design), but only 64 were finished before the end of the war.
  2. ↑ There was, briefly, one A7V with two extra machine guns in place of the 57 mm cannon. It was later converted to use the 57mm cannon.
