It shouldn't have any effect. By observing German doctrine the French should have realised that massed tanks should be used as an offensive weapon, not a defensive one. Which means these tanks will be sitting much closer to the Belgian border, ready for a mass counter-offensive as soon as the Germans look like slowing. This means French armour is going to be fighting German infantry in Flanders as the panzers race for the sea. And as I said earlier, there will be no tanks attatched to infantry units, meaning local counterattacks against German bridgeheads will not happen.

As a defensive one as well since 5 tanks massed fairly close together is going to protect a pass or a bridge or what have you better then 1 tank a 5 miles away, another one a 3 miles away, one actually guarding the bridge, another one a 3 miles away in the other direction, another 5 miles away in that direction and one a mile or so behind the bridge as a reserve.

No difference. Whatever happens, you're still stuck with the real culprit, the quite hopeless way the French High Command was organised.
