they will make the boates heavier and not add the missiles that make em heavy
I’m not even sure if those were really needed in the French tree.
Frankly the only thing the provides a “new” capability is probably AH-64E and the future F-35 Addition.
Even if Benelux got it’s domestic unique designs, they are mostly light tanks and armored cars, of which France has missing designs in spades.
That is 100% one of the primary reasons why Benelux went to france and the only really viable excuse for it being there imo. Benelux doesnt add any other capabilities or fill any holes that cant be filled by a domestic French produced option.
It is all around just a poorly executed and placed subtree.

The BeNeLux is sadly the outcome of letting the issues from South Africa grow out of control. As once you realize unique doesn’t mean good, and look past how it looks on the surface, you can see them plain as day.
Yet it’s also caught under the snowball that’s leading to all members of a family be C&P, as long is it a different variant from the first. Even more so when additions are out next to the vehicle it’s being called C&P of, and you didn’t have to spend brain power to see the differences.
Unfortunately the the issues with the BeNeLux has led people to believe the fix to it issue, is giving Germany unlimited access to allied tech (or making stuff 90% of BeNeLux domestic stuff doesn’t/shouldn’t come) just do to a joint command that only effects ground that is younger then the Leo 2.

Even moreso as it puts the nearly 20 Franco-Swiss designs in limbo, a number of which could provide useful capabilities to the French tree.
Everytime I look at the value add of the Benelux tree, and which trees could use what unique capabilities it could provide, France is practically the last one I could think of.
Sure
You realize…there is still Modern Naval to be added right!!! If you think Gaijin is going to skip the proper Naval Missile tech…think again!!!
Also…this is JUST Steam! this is NOT counting folks like me who play off the War Thunder Client!
Soooo War Thunder at the time of this post should be 12th on Steam if they counted Client players too!

and that is exactly the reason i think they should take accountability for it, but instead my post got flagged.

F-15E RMP devblog tomorrow, i know it

let it go bro
To be honest I doubt they’d even do that.
It would be:
-
A major disappointment to people expecting the F-15EX since the last addition was the F-16CM PoBIT, so naturally the next (top tier) addition for USA should again follow suit in popularity (though it’s flipped for the PoBIT and F-15EX in terms of said popularity) in it being the F-15EX
-
Much better to add it in one of the smaller updates as a would be sidegrade to the F-15EX in the C line, under the Strike Eagle.
But tbh why bother when the EX does the same (and then some) xD it would be a similar situation to the F/A-18E and (lack of) F/A-18F in the USA tech tree situation a while ago
the f15e rmp is just an aesa and equipment upgrade isnt it?
I really would prefer not to grind another 400k rp for a radar change, to be fair people did grind the pobit so some people would be fine with that somehow.
skipping to the ex seems like a logical move
okay didnt bvd in the last dev say they didnt know if they were gonna due coldwar naval since missile tech would lead to boring gameplay, or something along those lines, i could be wrong but im pretty sure.
that his take it’s dumb but the commuinty is asking for it and since how many people got excited seeing the ships I saw alot saying they would play naval if they added them
He said they would try to bring it but no promises
