As for why that part got clipped, it doesn’t change the meaning of the previous sentence, imo. What you wrote underneath is essentially a call to arms to go to the forums and complain about how BeNeLux was implemented (with, from what I’ve gathered, the goal being to restrict it to only the most unique or gap-filling vehicles and nothing else). I didn’t think that was particularly relevant to the point being discussed as the reason why.
And if you’re suggesting that we’re victimising ourselves, keep in mind that everything I’ve mentioned comes from actual discussions I’ve had with French mains. I could easily post 20+ examples of French mains victimising themselves in exactly the same way. I’ve even seen French mains victimising themselves over something as minor as not getting a new decal for Bastille Day, claiming it was proof that Gaijin didn’t care about them iirc.
But anyways, I don’t hate French mains. I’m just a little agitated that this discussion has flared up again (especially on Reddit, although that’s pretty much a hive of complaints and anger, and little else), with people essentially advocating that BeNeLux should be limited to an extremely small pool of vehicles because they supposedly don’t deserve the rest or aren’t worthy of them. I’d just like to see us get more than, like, two French air and ground vehicles next year. And now that the French naval tree has finally caught up, I can actually see that happening.
Also worth noting that the “users” figure on a topic is not all people that contribute. For example here’s the figures for my subtree rework suggestion:
Lists 96 users, however far more actually interacted and shared their opinion through likes and votes. Assuming every player that interacted in other ways also voted, this is already 932 players. For other topics, especially those without a centralized poll, this can be much harder to identify.
Goodmorning Smin, off topic but I’ve just posted a bug report about an esa radar tracking issue that’s been in the game for a few months now, I think it’ll have a pretty low chance of being seen and fixed so I just wanted to ask if you could give it a little nudge to the devs if possible, best regards :) Community Bug Reporting System
At first I thought this was a Dev Blog for the next update and I was confused, hahahah.
Not like we will need to wait long, this period of the year is cramped! But I know it will take at least two weeks since the release of Eagle’s Shadow for that.
Hey Smin, I’ll stop with my little tirade after this post, as I don’t think this discussion i’ve made has been particularly productive.
That said, could you possibly clarify whether the relatively large amount of naval content France has been receiving could be one of the reasons why its ground and air departments have been somewhat lacking in comparison?
A lot of people have been blaming BeNeLux for France’s recent domestic content drought (which probably does play at least some part in it), but I was wondering whether the naval side of things might also be a factor. France has received quite a substantial number of naval vessels compared to other nations over the atleat the last 1.5 years, and now that its naval tree has more or less caught up, I’m curious whether that could potentially free up some room for more domestic french ground and air additions in future updates, as i assume development budget gets allocated per nation, so having more naval vehicles will lower the amount in the other of vehicles in the other two modes.
I think he’s already said that it’s because French naval is the most recent, so it was getting more content to meet the minimum levels the other trees are at
Yeah, I know, I was the one who asked XD. But technically, he only explained why France has been receiving more naval vehicles. What I’m specifically wondering is how that larger number of naval additions might have affected the ground and air trees. I’d assume that development resources and content allocation are shared between modes for each nation so perhaps that when prioritising naval additions has meant fewer resources being available for ground and air vehicles, That’s really what I’m trying to get at.
I’m not saying everyone needs to make polls, but I just meant that the users figure of a topic doesn’t include everyone that contributes. There is more ways to share your opinion than just writing, you can also support things others write by liking them or vote in polls.
So those “200 users” could very well be much more, like how in the Subtree Rework topic (at least) nearly 10x as many people actually voiced their opinions compared to the 96 that did it in writing specifically.
from trying it out the cluster bombs are indeed very uh mid lol but then again its hard to use them in NE when every single convoy has an aimbot SAM that tracks you through terrain so ehhh
