Calling the YF-23, SU-57 and F-22 ugly should be a crime against humanity

No it’s the prototype that still sits outside of the former Cadillac-gage (now textron) plant in slidell Louisiana
Here shows a pic of it sitting next to a regular type 59 with the gun removed and also an aerial view from Google maps
Apparently there is also reportedly a hull at the Luoyang 1st tractor factory as well but some people claim it isn’t the Jaguar

More bang per bang has got to be the best used tank salesman pitch ive ever heard.

Douglas DB-7-131
The sole twin tail DB-7/A-20 built at the behest of the French. No major performance or handling improvements were noted, and gun camera footage showed total rear coverage was reduced.

Can’t wait for the Leopard 2A4 with the 140mm (I hope it’s an event tho )
I am equally excited for all the interesting Swiss vehicles and concerned about the severe lack of space

Personally I’m holding out for it to get added to the French tree.
The FL-20 turret is one of the most interesting French turret systems out there, and the only other instance is paywalled. Add to it the utter lack of actual French tanks being added this year, and it’s be nice to see France getting vehicles it was actually involved in designing.
Wouldn’t mind a TTB190 turreted vehicle too, so France can get something stabilized below 9.3.
After the Leopard 2k for top tier and I guess they will squeeze the other stuff below
France has Benelux, and their own designs, if they had programs with the Swiss (not selling turrets, programs were they were together) that can get the vehicles under the French flag and Germany will get them under the Swiss flag it’s simple as that, Germany getting Switzerland doesn’t stop France getting their own stuff

Sure, but getting some french vehicles, or at least more of them than we’ve had for ground in the past 2 years, would be appreciated. Even when I also personally appreciate the Leopard 1A5BE (with all its missing munition) and the CV9035NL for what they bring to the tech tree.
As for Swiss-French projects, that’s mostly again the same rules as everything else. We’ll have to see, as German ground is already extremely saturated for most possible swiss ground vehicle additions… So little room. :(
Air vehicles for Switzerland have also heavily been focused on modern planes, which is sad.
I’m waiting on a Panzer 58 or 61.
