France already has several Mirage variants in its tech tree including multiple versions of the Mirage III and will likely receive even more in the future, given how many export versions exist. The addition of the Mirage IIIS to Germany’s tree doesn’t take anything away from France, especially considering this specific variant was only operated by Switzerland, a country historically tied to the German tree in War Thunder.
There’s no logical reason for the Mirage IIIS to be in the French tree: France never used it, and neither did any Benelux nation, which already forms part of the French subtree. Switzerland, on the other hand, has been part of the German tree from the start. This doesn’t hurt France’s uniqueness at all they now have the Rafale, the Mirage 2000, and will continue to hold exclusive access to the majority of domestic Mirage designs.
In fact, adding unique vehicles to other trees improves the game. It helps diversify tech trees and encourages players to try other nations. If you want to fly the Mirage IIIS, you can grind it through Germany, just like many of us have done with other vehicles in different trees. Personally, I’d love to see the French F-16AM, and even though I already unlocked it with the U.S., I support France getting it too it adds depth and appeals to more players.
At the end of the day, this isn’t a big deal. It’s part of War Thunder’s development combining realism with balance and gameplay variety. It doesn’t diminish France in any way; it simply makes the game richer and more engaging for everyone.

a variant of mirage exclusively operated by swiss should not go anywhere else but swiss subtree.
correct. there is no canadian subtree at the moment.
and if they get one in the future, they can get the 2A4M, just as sweden got the premium swedish centurion that was sitting in UK TT or israel got the israeli centurion that was sitting in the UK TT. simple as. as with C2A1, its likely not moving anywhere, since its event vehicle and finds itself in same situation as US merkavas.
because there is no official canadian subtree. so leopards went to leopards. simple as.
similiarly, if Mirage IIIS was announced on its own, without swiss subtree, only logical place for it would be france.
France never used it
and germany never used the leopard c2 mexas,or leopard2a4can they got??
It helps diversify tech trees
aaah sure!! everyone is really happy to get an f5 for the sixth time in another nation
everyone is happy to grind for a fifth leopard 2a4 in another nation
how can it encourage other players to play another nations if half the tree is already something you already got?
and the several mirage variants?
we are waiting.
we are waiting too much
knowing gaijin? maybe we will finally get a new mirage III variant in like? 5 years? or maybe they will add it to china? because pakistan???..
yeah, I will prolly go to play the mirage IIIS on the dev server, it seems like such nice and fun plane to fly.
i see no other country in game currently with Rafael, Leclercs, AMX30 or the AMX-50s.
its literally single mirage, you dont have to go full meltdown mode.
funny you say that when every nation seems to be getting leopards, or and F- variant plane
Why play germany or US? France isnt entitled to special treatment. Exports go to the nation its epxorted to, not the developer
someones salty, for not getting what he wants
I will like the day UK gets the indian RAFALE

this will prove what i said above,not point of playing any other nations,if all interesting stuff go to other nations.
war thunder future really seems bright isn’t it?
be happy you got the AMX30 Super alone which should be in the german tree
he talks about deluting the swiss air tree.
If you give the mirage IIIS to france, the swiss air tree turely will become only copy pasta
unique variant operated solely by swiss should be found only in swiss subtree.
NO WAY!?
a subtree being copypaste?!
noooooooo
A) subtree offers copypaste vehicles
muh subtrees are bad
B) subtree offers unique vehicle
we need it in our nation because reasons, literally asking for copypaste.

you can just go play some rafaele and calm down, and talk about this topic with clear head.

France has a whole tech-tree full of original, native built jets, and additionaly a (rather useless) subtree.
France has no need for foreign modifications
feel free to write a suggestion for these mirages
Spoiler
Suggested:
Forwarded / considered:
Some were already forwarded to the devs, so they are well aware of them existing.
Also why wanting a foreign Canard Mirage if France has some built themselves?
Just wait for the Indian Rafale. Oh the problems of an export heavy nation…
