Thats the thing about WT, it allows bad IRL vehicles to be good in game, cough planes without radar and weapons getting them cough, planes that struggled to take off without overheating cough. (yak 141 and yak 38 iirc)

yes , after all this is just a game

You immediatly talk about German stuff, but for me the most interesting stuff from BeNeLux comes from Belgium, lot of cool stuff with a lot of French components inside, so seems good if they go that way.

For the little story, René Duguay-Trouin was a mad lad:

He embarked on a ship at the age of 16. He became a privateer captain two years later and captain of a royal frigate at the age of 24. In 1694, he was captured and imprisoned by the English, but managed to escape from Plymouth prison. In 1696, he won a battle and took the Dutch admiral Wassenaer prisoner.

In 1704, he captured a fifty-four gun warship and twelve merchant ships off the coast of England.

In 1706, he attacked a fleet from Brazil with three ships loaded with food and munitions and escorted by ten warships: the battle lasted two days.

In 1707, he destroyed one warship, captured 3 and captured 14 merchant ships.

In 1709, he captured 300 merchant ships and 20 warships.

In 1711, he captured Rio de Janeiro. To reward him for his services, Louis XIV decided to ennoble him.

In 1731, Louis XV gave him command of a squadron designed to protect trade interests threatened by barbarian privateers. He suppressed the privateers in Tunis.

He died in Paris in 1736.

One damn Corsair.

Other little fact, the H.M.S. Implacable was a Duguay-Trouin class first.

Of course, but it gajin, they will just use the german models way easier then actualy making new models. Just look at hungary

Please check your facts
1707, he destroyed one warship, captured 3 and captured 14 merchant ships
Not the 200 you’re talking about
200 ships is the total size of the convoy
I assume the other numbers are also off due to your impeccable reading comprehension

1709, that’s the TOTAL of the ships he captured during his career, not in a single year
ffs, that would mean capturing basically a ship a day for a year straight

Wops, perhaps wrong source for me.

Still he was cool. :p

If your source is wikipedia, it’s not wrong, you just read the first line and went on with it

bruh
