Trust me, most Valencian people do not appreciate people suggesting that it’s the same language, because the “same language” argument is usually linked to the Catalan argument that “Valencia is nothing but a part of Catalonia” instead of a province and community of its own with its own history and identity.
@MS_Phantasm besides the embt 140 ascalon they seem to have announced an leclerc with an 120mm ascalon as well called leclerc evolution.
That one will be purely for france!
well will be one heck of a debate either way for the embt ascalon…
I mean that one is debatable if it should go to germany. But that some french are claiming the new leopard come on u dont need to sink that low and grasp at straws
I think that’s mostly confusion about the turret etc due to EMBT muddying the waters for a casual observer. I wouldn’t read anything more than people desperate for a decent MBT, a common trend with all the “we should get this” arguments.
Thats what i meant my bad, look great for both tanks though. Though if it does get added to the game gaijin might only add it to france because of the df 105 only being on germany lol seriously though that is probably a few years away.
Pleasantly surprised I could actually read and understand the article lol. The difference between the two in culture is significant but in terms of the languages themselves they are very similar, I would compare it to British vs. American English as they differ in pronunciation and a small handful of words, are attached to pretty different cultures and are mutually intelligible for the most part. Catalan vs. Valencian is linguistically more akin to dialect vs dialect than language.
And if they did add it what are the chances one of the very few different words is used. And they could mix the pronounciation up + radio/echo effect to make it impossible to tell
I don’t think you know how different Arabic dialects are, especially the more you go west. It’s a miracle we can understand each other to a certain extent.
A lot of people probably don’t realise to be fair, but the new Leopard 2 is most definitely a German only development. Had France had any part in the turret development they most certainly would’ve slapped their own optics on it.
Im biased but I’d personally prefer to see the EMBT Ascalon go to France only on the provisor that a new EMBT eventually comes along using the Rheinmetall 130mm which would go to Germany only. I think that is fair and ensures uniqueness between the two tress’ top-tier.
I think any new tanks being built by defense companies should only be added to in game nations if they are actually adopted into service by said nation or sub nation. There are plenty of vehicles built by nation specific companies that aren’t adopted or used. That’s also why I’m against the AbramsX being added as it was not adopted, merely being used as a step off point for the next service tank in the US.
