Dassault Rafale branded champagne enjoyer

@TriggerMage2 @WarThunder I never claimed the game revolved around France, but there’s more to the game than top tier, and the tree hasn’t gotten a single domestic tank or plane all year, it’s the only tree not to

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@WarThunder Will we see more Cold War decompression this year? Lots of planes can’t compete when added due to how significant the capabilities scale in game

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@EternalSaebyeok @FrenlyFrenchBoi Just the turret ring

Look at the newest Leopard 1BE 3105 images

@ErickKawan10 @WarThunder Or the m8 greyhound only being an event vehicle for the US while it’s in the Chinese TT

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@ErickKawan10 @WarThunder They have made exceptions for SPAA, but when it comes to other subtree vehicles, we don’t see the joint countries always get them, for example Mirage IIIs, Hawker Hunter F.58 and F.58a

And when it comes to Germany/France it took over three years for France to get the DF-105

@ErickKawan10 @namekznw @WarThunder Premiums that copy vehicles a nation or subtree designed are not as bad as paywalling unique vehicles

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@Kubus_Sc7 @ConeOfArc @Serval4Life The Germans may have been technically competent in some areas, but wars are not one though a single aspect of the conflict

@CalumDouglas1 has some really fascinating posts on the western front aviation development, including the impacts of material shortages on German designs

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@WarThunder This is just like when the Gaijin team said people were asking for the Dutch F-16AM, sure, a few were, but way more were actually asking for French designs

Likewise here I expect it was only a small group wanting to raise kill spaa systems

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@WarThunder Were people asking for CAS to have less difficulties killing ground vehicles?

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@FrenlyFrenchBoi It’s a shame the French never moved forward with the Vextra P.O.L.E., while there are tons of fascinating 20mm-105mm armored cars and light tanks, the only 120mm was a testbed

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@CherryBomb_Kiko Fun fact

France is the only country in the game with fewer matches players in rank VII premiums than in Rank VI and V premiums, and I would posit it’s because players don’t want to buy slop

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@LeKaiserFrXVI @CherryBomb_Kiko @meumeu03 1. ELC Even 30

2. AMX-10rc TML-105 late (late is stabilized)

3. Mowag Shark FL-12 (one of about 20 Franco-Swiss joint projects)

4. Panhard M8 TK-105, a failed EBR successor

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@Yourave01149205 @CherryBomb_Kiko Almost every addition (Rafale aside) has either been mindless copy-slop

MSC and EBRC were nice, but then the BMPT got added, ruining the entire bracket

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@WarThunder I’m sorry, but making the headliner premium of the French tree Dutch F-16 instead of A Belgian F-16 doesn’t actually fix the problem

France should be getting FRENCH designs, not imported copy-paste

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@WarThunder These unique, domestic, researchable tech tree planes are really fantastic additions, and I hope we can see some trees like France get something unique soon.

Looking through the changelogs, France hasn’t gotten a French tank or plane in over 7 months which is quite a while

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@WarThunder So the big three are each getting some new and unique designs here

Surely France, the worlds second largest arms exporter, can also get something more “French” than a Leopard 1a5 and an F-16AM, right?

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@s0ymalia B-52’s overflew the USA-Germany friendly match this past weekend apparently

[Oscillating Turret Appreciator @Bergebis]

@WarThunder Glad that Germany now has a domestic alternative to the copy-pasted M44/M55

Hopefully we can see other countries get the same treatment, especially for nations like France that are effectively only getting copy-paste Benelux designs instead of French ones
