Oh I don’t care who gets it in-game, I saw a jab at France’s hull manufacturing and decided to give one of my own. I had hoped it’d go off as a passive aggressive jab and not start a whole fireworks show. Also,
France did lose the capability to produce mbts
Bold of you to assume the French government would allow for something that isn’t sovereign. You know how big of a deal that is here. Also,
in production of most stuff you named germany is quite big even if it might be licensed stuff, alternatives have been developed already as well
That is quite the bold statement with the power of the atom being the most important thing a nation can have
Did you not read the interview and discussion? I F it uses a Leopard 2 hull, it will be a derivative made locally in France. Same way France produces its own FN Designed guns
btw the F-127 is still going strong and showing capabilities
its bigger then Arleigh Burke-class destroyer
That’s a licenced product. Like the 122s or any other German exports where local production happens.
It’s going to be a 2a8 chassis idk how you think it’s going to be any different tbh.
You can quite literally see the change in overall dimensions to accommodate whatever the changes will be. Obviously, it’s a 2035 tank, so it’s not final. Likely it’ll be designed around KNDS France’s NEXTER derived and upgraded ERA and DIAMANT APS, but that’s all we know for goals.
It’s 9 years too early to be sure.
Where did you find this lol 2a8s are being produced faster then any of the Leclerc series lmao.
Maybe, in terms of Frigate lifespan you have to realize it’s VERY early on in life cycle. This stuff won’t show its capabilities for a while, also, size does not determine Frigate capabilities due to their doctrine and utility
You understand in the demo shown it was a 2a4 hull not a 2a8
you realy gotta be careful about that part.
To most it just sounds like france being pissy that germany didnt want to buy rafales as an european alternative to use their armament and instead got the F-35
?? What are you even talking about now? France does not manufacture hulls currently. However, France retains the ability to do so at will. Hence, CAPINT will either; Use hulls licensed from KNDS, but only locally made, OR use its own hull.
Ofc France is the little baby of Europe. Like a European north Korea just less threatening to nuke people but collapsing joint programs whenever they get upset
I actually meant submarines, again, I’m a bit of a, whatever you’d call someone who’s into naval and sea doctrine and manufacturing
Nuclear is for defense and power, not for attacking fellow Europeans
Yet they did. And 2a8 production beats the leclercs peak production 🤷♀️
Not really that option has been shut down for about 10 years due to the insane cost of restarting production.
What the french have no industry to develop…
Whatever you say little nk
yeah no idea, at submarines you completly lost me.
i am barely an aviation guy as is.
Ground works for me, lemme stand on it with my 2 feets
Read the article man, they interviewed KNDS CEO who intentionally stated the industry is maintained, Leclercs are just not produced due to expensive and lack of demand
Exactly. It’s too expensive and the industry isn’t maintained enough where production could start next year lmao it would be a multiple year thing
Fair enough, Germany does not have nuclear powered submarines, France does, nuclear powered submarines can stay out in sea for extremely long periods of time and that’s doctrinally important, that’s really all I’ll say unless you wanna know more some other time. It’s interesting stuff
Again, CAPINT is a 2035 tank, so while it’s not next year, it is feasible for the existing knowledge and industry to rise to
