Don’t worry I’m not poking fun, the French navy is an extremely modern one even back in the early 20th century it was formidable, but it was just outclassed by the UK due to different priorities and also having a fun neighbour.
Nowadays the French navy is still very capable, and the shortcomings it does have in comparison to the UK are offset by having drastically more capable ground forces.
Its worth noting this is a Thales UK and BAE sonar and not entirely French, but the point does still stand.
I think Drachinifel did a video on the Dunkerque, but I had a hyperfixation and watched videos about basically every dreadnought ever build so i’ve seen that many that when i watch them they blur.
I presume this quad turret was more reliable than Britain’s quad design?
my main issue is that they straight up lied about it being a temp fix, the current state of air rb is an utter joke, air sim is even worse the payout for that is just depressingly low if you look at it even a few years ago, they took it out back and shot the poor gamemode
Good question, i have no idea about your quad turret and how they work, just that they are not the main “idea” for BBs like ours. I didn’t even know about the 2 in one for our quad before ~1years ago, i’m far from good about navy stuff, just start to get some feet in.
Aye Italy has a number of designs which could serve as hybrid designs, but they do not fit the traditional ‘dreadnought’ classification and have their associated shortcomings. But I believe there is also a Greek Pisa class cruiser which could be added.
These ones you have suggested would be good alternatives to HMS Invincible and the Lion class BC’s. Having comparable armour and firepower
Don’t worry I am the same, i only started getting really interested in naval stuff about 3 weeks ago, i just have too much time on my hands and rather than watch netflix, i watched drachinifel and spent 3 hours reading wikipedia.
I am good with British ships but ask me about another nations ships and i need 5 minutes to come back with an answer and it will probably be a comparison to a British ship of a similar time.
What about our horrible lack of interesting lineup ?
Our bad choice of premium (specially for top air) ?
Our half navy without coastal?
The fact that between reserve and 8.3 the spaa line is the same as the release day 7+years ago.
And trust me the number of vehicle that got terrible introduction in game is high, and even though I know some enthusiasts who do a fantastic job of reporting a lot of things, we hardly ever see these changes, at least not as quickly as the main nations.
Also everybody enjoying some French tech that come late or never to France.
We start with probably one of the worst starter heli, while a lot of nation start with a French one.
About heli, they said to us “not that much can still be added for French heli” wich is wrong, then they added 2 French heli to China that we still don’t have xD
Just saying, look on the old forum the proposed vehicle. France have more topic than every other nation for ground.
Rant off, the list is really longer than that i make it quick :D
I can relate there, i fell asleep watching his battlecruiser video and realised i know some random facts about the USS alaska when the last i remember i was watching something on the HMS Hood
in regard to worst heli you are at most the 4th worst, after the Italian Huey (which if they got the other Huey the used could get AS.11s), Japan Huey, Sweden Huey and only then the H34
I honestly think my next TT after Britain will be France, I love European vehicles and I already have Germany near Finished. Britain is taking a while though i’m stuck in rank 6 aviation and because its all so shit thats why im so eager to see the gnat and superswift to finally get the phantoms.
France I would personally rate as a mild tech tree if we were to rank them in a weird way, still recall when I accidentally grinded the whole tree up to the Mirage IIIC when that was new while SL grinding, I miss the days when all aspects were at too low of a BR
