I can understand that France may lack domestically produced torpedo boats or gunboats with machine guns or artillery in World War II. But the Bougainville-class aviso built during the interwar period, the S148-class missile boats built by France and the Commander Rivière-class frigates in Cold war can be added to the coastal navy tech tree. Game already has the Albatross-class missile boats and the Colon-class frigates, so adding these ships should not be a problem. The lack of these Franch ships is confusing.

The S-148 class missile boats was never used by the French navy so I don’t why it should come to the French navy. However I totally agree, France should receive many more ships. For example the classes “Le Corse”, “Le Normand” or the different classes of “Escorteur d’esquadre” (T-47, T-53 and T-56)

The S148 class missile boats were designed and built by France, and West Germany purchased and used them. There are already many vehicles in the game that are only used for foreign trade and not equipped by the country appearing in the design country’s technology tree.
Of course, the German Navy does have reason to get its own S148.

The French military naval industry builds ships for 14 countries (currently) and used to build some for a lot of nations, some of which are in the game (Australia, Canada, India, even the US bought some old ships for training). If we start to have all the ships built by France, we will never be finished.

At least this is enough to show that the French Coastal Navy still has a lot of ships to launch. Gaijin’s conditions for launching vehicles are very broad. The British Desert Warrior IFV, Vickers MK1 and Germany’s Class 3 (P) are all vehicles that are only used for export. Some of them don’t even have export orders, but they are still added to the game. By this standard, even if the Saar 1 class is excluded, the French Coastal Navy still has a large number of vehicles that meet the standards.
