lmaoooo. Why am I not surprised by certain recent decisions then.
Thank you for the info. o7
I flank and get in close on one of your many blindspots.
There is no map in War Thunder that is exclusively open fields.
That can really, REALLY, be felt with the Rafale. The French ground tree is utter garbage at top tier, with the Leclerc still using weak outdated ammo since forever, and now getting slapped with the turret basket.
Then there’s the Rafale reigning supreme for so long, MICA getting a better seeker than everybody else for… reason? Hammer overperforming. Wasn’t there a dev that in fact said the Rafale was his favorite plane in a somewhat recent dev QnA or devblog?

I agree with the rest but top tier France ground is good.
Rafale is good CAS.
AH-64E is OP, like other LDIRCM Helis.
Leclercs are still solid, not like turret basket changes a large % of engagements considering Leclercs lack of crew (survivability) anyway.
2A5/6 are still great and are a better spawn over Leclercs on maps where you can use the turret.
Ito is among the best for dealing with LDIRCM Helis compared to other SPAA, bar Pantsirs. Not to say its a counter, but its one of the best options for it.
Aster is one of the best multi vehicle AAs.
EBRC Jaguar is a fantastic light tank for spawning in CAS.

Utter garbage might be a tad hyperbole but it kind of has nothing great/unique going for it other than the Aster and the ERBC. The Leclerc is a worse Abrams in pretty much every way. German, ITA, and Swe have the 2A7/Strv 122 so nothing more to say there about the NL 2A6.
Ito is nice but was added back then because France really had nothing else to improve upon the horrible Roland. AH-64E is just a copypasta.

Its a tad bland but still one of the better nations at top tier, especially in the battle of attrition, where they can spawn an absolute sht ton of stuff.
It might miss a unique heavy hitter like the 2A7 but instead France is competetive in every aspect of GRB. Tanks are not the best but fine and its a deep lineup. Heli is among the best. CAS is arguably second to the 38MT slingers. And the SAMP is as good as ARH SPAA gets. Id rather have a competetive balanced lineup like that than one that excels in one aspect but is severely lacking in others.

Oh yeah it’s absolutely for the Rafale as well. It just feels like within the US tree the devs seem to care more about the Hornets than some of the other planes.
The Hornets are constantly first in line for new weaponry, Gaijin had a massive cope episode where they wanted to move the Super Hornet to 14.7 believing it on par with those jets and they just keep trying to hype it up.

Which I toned down the very next post. But hey, feel free to engage with all of the other things said instead of laser-focusing on that one thing.
Again it does if the game isn’t representing the armor correctly, so your saying that you dont care if the Tiger II gets 10mm of frontal armor in its upper front plate?
So you’re saying armor is the thing you rely on while playing T2H ?

Real question is who aiming at the Tiger 2 UFP anyway… 10mm would not make any different unless your aim is shit and you can’t be bothered to learn common weakspot or even flanking
Thats what i was talking about exactly xD
their “internal testing” is 100% sure truthfull and works like that
NII STALI internal testing is “wrong lies advertisment bias”.
Weve been over this already. Look at the ownership structure in the russian MIC vs the one in Germany and theres your answer.
I remember that, but that still doesnt quite justify such. Especially when most of the sold machines only see garrison duty.
Yes it does. The BMVg has no reason to lie on behalf of a private company not delivering on their contract. The situation between government agencies, independent oversight and private companies is a completely different one compared to russia which is why people question the credibility of russian statements regarding capabilities more than the ones from democratic countries.

Yeah, why would a company lie to their buyers to cut costs and earn profits. That never happened, never throughout history…
Oh wait.

??? Ofc private companies lie but thats exactly what the job of the internal testing Jεcka mentioned is. To test whether said private company really delivered on their promises and that test is done by a government agency with independent oversight and no direct ownership of said company. The same cant be said for anything russian. I dont know why this is such a hard concept for you.

Yeah you’re delulu
It’s BMVg’s JOB to ensure the promised capability is delivered, if it isn’t, they will reject the product until is complies with requirements.
That happened to the F-125 class frigates, for example…
