Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

France has 4 lines (atleast on the air wiki).
Maybe add them all into one line? Or on top of existing lines like Hungary?
The 5 Dutch aircraft I’d like to see (also which are most iconic amongst RNLAF enthusiast despite not all being Dutch designs) could go into one line:
Fokker DXXI
Fokker G1
F-104G
NF-5A
F-16
(distant future F-35)

Dutch bombers likely won’t be added, and if they are they could go in between the existing French lines.

I see France ground has 5. Luckily NL doesn’t have much different tanks. In ww2 they had 1 tankette as demonstrator and now they have the CV90 and Leopard 2. Prob some stuff in between but would be a very barren line if standalone. Not sure what Belgium has/had.

Lol something like that. Nothing to stop them from adding Dutch/Belgium F-16’s with AMRAAMs though but they’ll likely want some French connection.

That reminds me, would love a Belgian Canuck!

Fokker DXXIII not on the list :(

I prefer aircraft that actually served and don’t want to ask for too much but sure, would love that one.
If we’re adding experimental then also the Schelde S.21…with 20mm in the nose that can be unlocked and turned into a turret for ground targets.

sounds rad, what’s that?

Will never come to WT but it’s this beauty.

Anyone in here have a good idea when the devblogs usually drop (just use UTC)? Recently changed timezones (by a long way) and have 0 idea when to expect them other than “somewhere during the European working day”. I used to check before sleep but half the time missed it and there’d be one in the morning.

Gaijin almost never show France in these cool trailer so doubt on that. If fox3 are there you can be sure the star of the show gonna be a US/RU fox 3 fight with probably new planes for both of them.

My main concern now is to know if/why we gonna have to pay twice to have access to all navy CBT where others have to pay once.

Belgium is the one i wait more the things from since we have the closest work/relation with them. They do have a lot of project with their cockerill turrets (with sometimes French FCS/guns etc).

We can have this subTT with a lot of new things, it’s on Gaijin’s hands to not take the full copy pasta road now…

The Leopard one just looks funny that would be nice to have

I hope we don’t get copy pasta leopard but this one is so modified i’m all for it :p

More Leopard with different turrets but i think you are just gonna get only copy and paste

Perhaps modified hull/engine but my knowlegde on this one stop at this picture ^^

Benelux sub-tree for France does not sound like a bad idea, although it must be gutting to those who made the full tree

It doesn’t sound like a bad idea until you realise what type of dev Gaijin is.

Yea though we really do need more communist aligned nations first.
As we only really got 1 and that’s China

Not the worst ig
Better in France than in Hermany, but still unfortunate for both parties involved.

Benelux could’ve worked quite fine independently and France should’ve been much larger by now, it’s unreal how much they lag behind the big 3 despite being able to easily compete with them irl

What would you even suggest in that regard, considering you don’t seem to be a fan of adding new independent trees?

I find that there’s a bunch of viable ‘red’ countries, but I wanna hear from you

I’m here since 2013 so for the standards I’m used to, they have become so much better and I’ll take whatever they add.

I second this, I don’t know why we still don’t have Yugoslavia or Poland just yet. Maybe because sub-trees are quicker to add I guess.

Yea Yugoslavia tree and a Czecho-Polish combo tree would balance out a few thing.
