Me : NO GAIJIN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO **Tries to shut down my computer as every french in a 15 kilometer radius converge to my position with hardened baguettes and explosive croissants**

[@redaceFR]

For those who don't understand : - The tank was made by a company named GIAT (now named NEXTER) and never, at any point, by AMX - *NO ONE* in France call that tank an AMX-56 (again, no link with AMX at all). We simply call it "Leclerc" - The wrong name probably comes from journalists that knew the tank was around 56 t and assumed it's name would be AMX-56 just like almost every earlier tank. But they where wrong and now everyone outside of french speaking countries make that mistake ! - Don't *EVER* call a Leclerc an "AMX-56" in front of a passionate french, this will be your last words ;-)

Please more vehicles for France. There’s the Panhard EBR, more variants of Leclerc, AMX ELC, AMX Even variants, and much more that could be added to give France better lineups and more diverse gameplay.

[@borizon7533]

Yeah, France high tiers are pretty poop, in my opinion due to poor choices of vehicles to introduce. Instead of the completely obsolete AMX-13 HOT, they could have added the AMX-10P/HOT. The EBRs and even Vextra TML should also already be in the tree, along with a stabilised AMX-30 thats not premium.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

funny to make a video about the absolute worst lineup at top tier. By the way, the fire control system on the AMX-30 B2 is the same as the fire control system used in the AMX-32 : basically the sight of the gunner is stabilized, but not the gun, and when a "fire" input has been detected, the gun shoots automatically when the gun goes over the sight of the gunner. That was a rather slow but effective stabilizer and worked great even in the 1990s with the last AMX-30B2s in service in France. The only advantage of a 2 plane Stab over this system is the ease of use really. Where's the catch tho? Well you've modeled the AMX 32 fire control system as a 2 plane stabilizer, while the AMX 30 has litterally nothing... not even the stabilized sight. So you have three options here : the first (that would be the worst and really, don't do that unless you want to loose all the players from that nation) is to strip down the AMX 32 from its satbilizer and effectively give it the same FCS as the AMX 30. the second would be to model the french stabilized sight and give it to both the AMX 30 and 32. the third option would be to give both of the AMX 30 B2 a two plane stabilizer, and make them actually good vehicles to play, cause right now everything that has a stabilizer surpasses it, even if the BR is lower. (and if you use the "but it is not historical!" argument, I shall remember you that this is a game, not an historical simulation (this is the same argument you used for the BR system actually) and that absolute historical accuracy is not what you thrive for, effectively nerfing the Leclerc's automatic loading system from 5sec to 6, because "it would be too overpowered". It has efectively 5sec reload time in real life, and had that reload since the S1 series) (If you want to know more about the fire control system of the AMX 32, well know that it was developped prior to the developpement of the AMX 30B2, that effectively used the improvements made by the failed AMX 32. If anyone is interested, the sight is the M581, working alongside the COTAC APX M581 and the numerical calculator APX M241. COTAC is for COnduite de Tir Automatique pour Char which in english means "Automated firing sight for armored vehicle") Also *FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE :* The "AMX 56" designation is *NOT REAL* . The Ateliers De Contruction d'Issy-Les-Moulineaux has been bought by GIAT (that later became Nexter) long before the Leclerc project was even started, so there is NO WAY the "AMX" designation would have made any appearance. Furthermore, the number next to the AMX tag usually was the goal for the total weight of the vehicle (at least it was this way for the AMX 13, AMX 50 and AMX 30), and the Char Leclerc DID NOT WEIGHT 56 TONS (actually closer to 54), and it was not its weight goal. Also its price is not 10 million per Unit, but closer to 8 Million (which still makes this tank the most expensive ever)

I found top tier france to be amazing(rank 5 and up). Amx30B2 and brenus were a breeze to go through. You can literally get the APFSDS round within 10games or maybe even less! Yes you're at a disadvantage without a stabilizer but I find that more fun. It's actually predictable in terms of the gun bouncing. 7/10 of my shots were hits while moving. I played the brenus before they fixed the ERA(it only protected about 200-300mm against heat) and it was pretty good back then. It's still good and even better against the helicopters! The thermals is what gives this vehicle a real edge against other people. Spotting tanks in bushes from afar is what really makes this tank shine (both B2 and Brenus varient. The Leclerc is among my favorite MBT out of all the nations. I've played America, Germany, Sweden, and France. I'm working on Russia so I don't really have an opinion on that. Anyway the auto loader and the powerful APFSDS is the saving grace of this vehicle. The armor is good and you typically don't die in one shot since the crew is so far apart. The Gen2 thermal gunner and commander site is a great plus too. My win rate for france top tier(rank 5 and up) is above 60% and with some vehicles it's at 70%! They all have a pretty good K/D ratio(about 2.0 or higher. Sorta average if you ask me) My only gripe with france is the high repair costs for certain fun vehicles. Blame good players for the great stats. Anywho here's my nation rank list: 1:France(fun at top tier) 2:Japan(fun at top tier with the 5s reload) 3:Sweden(Expensive :c) 4:Germany(It's eh/boring at top tier) 5:America(it's eh/boring at top tier) 6: Russia (still grinding out so idk) 7:Italy(haven't really touched but will soon 8:China(Will never touch this)

Please create a line up where 9.7 and some 10.0 aircraft can clash in peace so to not get abused by Mach 2 jets but not be able to abuse 9.0 subsonics. (Planes like the lighting, Hunter F.6, F-104 and F-100 variants, maybe the Jaguars and the T-2, definitely the MiG-19 variants and the MiG-21F-13, because you know, it’s trash, and don’t forget the J32B, G.91YS and the Su-7Bs!) oops, forgot to mention the Po-2, also, decompress BR!

[@pos746]

War Thunder, I have to complain. I'm having fun in 5.3 br of French ground forces but I can't go any because of the ridiculously high repair costs. I know how you handle those repair costs but still they are way to high. I really like the French tech tree ground and air, I was considering of buying the amx 30 super, not for the grind, but because I like it. Unfortunately I'm just waiting for you to lower the repair costs in order to be less frustrating to play.

[@spermaman2395]

Well, i m grinding the tree with jumbo and arl, ocassionaly im playing amx 13 but yeah, repair costs at tier 4 are ridiculus

[@parz1pane772]

I play arcade @ br 7.7 (amx 30 (1972)) and I don't get such problems. I When I win I usually get +23000 SL and when losing (and dieing) -4000. Idk if arcade has lower repair costs or what... Some daily rewards are in SL and some are +1 M SL so you could also wait that...

[@Shyning]

@@parz1pane772 AB has low repair cost, take a look at RB/SB costs, that's what everyone is talking about. And about 1M award, you're going to wait a long time if you are betting on this to get SL, only got it once and I've been playing since the days of Open Beta ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Norrikan]

What still baffles me is that for a nation that historically has always put much stock in the daring offense the French needed seemingly forever to accept that, yes, stabilizers are a good idea.

[@jeandelacroix6726]

The generals ? yes. the industry ? no. First two plane stabilized AMX 30 was the SAMM prototype back in 1968 (and not the second half of the 80's AMX 30 super). Generals knew they needed a newer tank with stabilizer but they always wanted the most modern tech in it so they always delayed the acquisition of a new tank for years (*cough* decades *cough*). This and they had to develop ballisitic nuclear missiles which was a hefty part of their budget.

Hey Gaijin? I was wondering why you can't do kamakazi attacks with planes. Since Japanese planes carried explosives with them to kamakazi with, would it make sense to have a bomb loadout to be able to damage ships as well?

France is the first nation on ground forces I actually had fun playing. I don't care for the aesthetics of their other armored vehicles besides The AMX 30's, AMX-10 RC and Leclerc...which I'm almost done grinding to. Shame the ERC 90 isn't here or the AMX-10P. We have R3, BMP's and Bradleys but no 10P?????

those should be at 9.0 and 9.3
