Probably true, but it would have been much harder for the Germans. French
tanks were *slow*. Of the 3,473 French tanks, ~1,400 were only capable of
12mph on roads, and another 1,000 or so could only do 18mph. Compare that
to the 3,200+ German tanks that were all capable of 25+mph. The size of
your gun, and the thickness of your armor doesn't matter if you never get
to engage another tank.

Yes. Also, the fighting compartment of the German
tanks was much better, so they could fight on the
move. They had radios for fast coordination, which the
French tanks mostly lacked. Most importantly, there
was logistic support, air support from the Stukas, and
rapid coordination for them to move very rapidly - all
of which the French lacked, and which could not have
been at all quickly corrected.
