What if 1930 the French Tanks begian to have 3 man Turets

The French did develop such a weapon in 1940, and it did achieve noticeable results, but of course by then there wasn't enough time to produce and deploy enough of them to turn the tide. I'm talking about the Laffly W15 TCC, which was essentially a Laffly armored troop transport with a rear-mounted 47 mm gun. While lightly armored, it made up for it with good mobility, and proved quite suited to hit-and-run defensive tactics against tank formations.

Different design from what I expected, no troop transport option, very little armor, but for the correct strategy. The rear mounted gun is actually useful in combination with a towed second gun, as both are pointing in the same direction, making it easy to quickly drive away. Cool thing.
 
Well As we can see from what we are reporting here that the French Army was learning towards the End how to stop the Germans .

It's not a tank and it's not an APC. Think of it as a portee AT gun (an AT gun mounted on the back of a truck), only with protection for the crew against artillery fragments and small arms fire. Insofar as you think of it in this way, it's a fine idea, and much better than the portee AT contraptions that were rather common in the desert.
But it's not a tank, nor can be used as one (unlike fully tracked, fairly armored tank destroyers with a gun facing forward).
