Dutch vehicles in france

I noticed the dutch vehicles in the french tech tree, and i tried tom find out why.
I’m a dutchman, and i know the netherlands’ only tank battallion is merged with the german 1st panzerdivision.

now i get why they didnt put them in theb german tech tree bc its full, but why are the dutch tanks that were bought from germany in the french tech tree? especially because the dutch leopards are specifically designed for the dutch, like the language in the equipment etc. Is there some deal between france and the netherlands i dont know about? cause i havent found one.

any answers on why this is would be appreciated, as im very excited to play my own countries leopards and cv90s :-)

It is Dutch/Belgian, not just Dutch, and there’s bucketloads of discussion about this - search the forum for the topic of introduction - eg

What’s the difference, you see Leclerc alongside Leopards on shooting range, exercising together but cannot stand that you need to play it in “other” tech tree. These vehicles have unique flag and crew voices so what is the difference really. Think of it as it’s common operation of 2 nations and it will work 😁

Thanks for the links. They didn’t show up on Google

Well I guess that’s an explanation 😅

Yea that’s why I was confused

Update 2.37 introduced the Benelux subtree initially only air but stuff like the Dutch leopards and Belgian M44 were released later with some extra air additions like the Fokker D.XXI.

Shame a good amount of both nations missed out on their unique vehicles (plus the Luxembourgish police Heli). Personally I really would like to see HNLMS De Ruyter.

As a note, most nations have subtrees.

Because Austria and Switzerland would go to France otherwise.
Benelux makes more sense.

It’s nice that the French tech tree is more unique now though.

More unique hoe exactly? By getting 3 unique planes and a billion copy paste?
