    1. French repair costs are high
    2. Only good players can afford to play french tanks
    3. French tanks do well because good players play them
    4. French repair costs are raised
    5. Repeat
    6. *Profit??!?*

      Yeah. That's mostly it. Although I think that people are taking the SL cost excuse a bit too seriously while complaining these tanks are OP when in the hands of the enemy. They are indeed very good but these are not tanks for passive players and they are not that easy to play. But sure, I am certainly NOT losing SL by playing them (70-90% win rate with all of them)...
      Well, check out my RUclips channel to see these French (and other) tanks in action!

      I could still kill 3 people and get 17,000 in a winning match. That's how many kills you need to break even on a STOCK AMX50.
      It's not for good players. It's just broken.

      Griffin Gamer that’s cause you only killed 3 people which is really easy, you need to be very good to play french I play a lot and never lost money because I can get a decent 13 kills a game at least, however if I then jump in a cas I will lose money as airplanes cost way to much, the. F4u7 which I use has a 17k repair so I can’t die in it or I’ll lose money

    Climbing ranks with French Tanks:
    Step 1: Buy 12,000GE
    Step 2: Buy around 5,000,000SL
    Step 3: Play them and enjoy the repair bills sucker.

      I play French because they are different but I am now at rank III. I did not know the repair costs of rank IV are that high. That will probably stop me and that is a pitty because that are the tanks I was after. But enough SL is already a problem even with a premium account.

    You can try all you like but no one really plays France because of the repair costs. This hasn't been changed with the new economy either. Nice try but most people will pass STILL! Plus the reason some tanks for doing so well is because only the die hard fans play them, meaning pretty average players like me suffer. Great job!

    There are a couple of things that annoys me in this video.
    1:45 : the S35 would "hold its ground" even better if it had its actual frontal armor, which was 47mm and not the 37mm in game, an error that has been pointed out for more than a year now, and that's still not resolved even after people on the forum went in the Saumur museum AND MESURED IT HIMSELF WITH SPECIALISED EQUIPMENT, posting pics and all that about it.
    4:00 : Not even a little remark about how insanely expensive to repair and how risky these rank IV tanks are to play?
    8:50 : If it's a "light tank" gameplay-wise, why not actually put it as such, since it is its exact role in reality? Why make it a TD, which make absolutely no sense gameplay and history wise?

    A great way of allowing us to climb the french tech tree would be reducing the repair costs. My AMX-30B 1972 costs 18k SL to repair in sim, and I dont even mount all the mods, because then the repairs would skyrocket to 21k SL

    It's on my mind for some time, that having a Panther in the French tech tree would be good and quite accurate historically speaking. I mean, the tree could have a vehicle with an SL cost not extravagant for once, and France did use Panthers immediately after WWII. That's just my opinion but I would enjoy playing one with the Arl44 and amx-13. That would make it a 6.0 lineup and there is no proper 5,7 lineup for now.

    4.7 BR is the last playable point of the French tech tree. 6.7-7.0 simply can't take any hits. No matter what people say about the AMX M4. The auto loader seeming always gets hit, even by shots that don't pen.
    Also, whats with many french tanks having fire extinguishers modeled into them that you can't use without unlocking them? AMX-DCA 40 has 2 Fire extinguishers sitting in the turret, many top tier tanks you even show have fire extinguishers SITTING on the frontal plates.
    If you are going to play France, get your 4.7 line up (AMX13, ARL-44 and AMX DCA-40) and don't bother buying the future tanks. 4.7 can easily net 20k+ sl a match in Arcade, but the post 4.7 lineup often faces tanks even the ARL-40's cannon can't pen, while easily being one shot by a single piece of shrapnel hitting the ammo.
    AS for french air? I wouldn't recommend it for Arcade. The 20 mm's almost all of them have is great, but there is no full lineup of 5+ planes at any BR. French air is simply too empty to play. You can club in air arcade with 3.0/3.3 fighters, but just about anything can out run and out climb your short plane. I once was out ran by an I-153. It's seemingly impossible to pass tier 2 french air and I believe gaijen fears the power of stale baguettes and nerfed France accordingly. The only non-french plane in their lineup is the A-25. Not the A-26 the US has, the US doesn't even have the A-25 in their tree, it's just that bad of a ground attacker. Outside of an F2.222.22 squadron, don't expect too do much in the french bombers either. Their early heavy bombers are great at destroying bases but have such poor climb rate that they can't reach their safe altitude at 2.0 (of about 5km) before the round ends on most maps.

    1:40 Somua has decent armor all around... well, in reality, yes it had. In game, it's missing a good half centimetre because Gaijin doesn't know how to use a micrometer.
    3:17 The AMX-13 FL11 is "the first to have an oscillating turret which doesn't give it a particular advantage". Well, it has however the negative effect of making the gun so bouncy that you can only use it in ambush position... thanks to Gaijin abominable modelling.
    5:01 "A good suspension will keep your aim more or less steady"... He managed to say this without laughing: it certainly was true of the real thing. See point above, of course, for in game performance.
    The Rank IV discussion conveniently ignores all repair costs issue which make it unplayable by the common of mortals...
    7:20 same bullshit claims of steady aim about the Surbaissé than with the Bat Chat 25t.
    9:00 Thanks Gaijin for making an unusable TD out of what should be an excellent recon light wheeled tank. Also it's nearly impossible to spade because of the research cost of the modules which are the highest in the game at this BR.

    • @jbperrinnl
      @jbperrinnl 5 лет назад

      @anOKlamp while that's true, I'm paradoxically less annoyed at it. Gaijin has always been consistent in claiming that they do balance vehicles also by using or removing historical ammunition. So I don't mind too much (although they could have given it it's APFSDS and then switched it with the HOT for better historicity and balance). However, poor modelling of known existing data (like the Somua) is just shoddy work.

    1. Can you insert a high-caliber shell (e.g. IS-2) to a Tiger 1 driver's optics, that it doesn't activate an igniter of explosives?
    2. Can you dodge a shell (I mean you stay in an open field and after an enemy's shot you get out from a way of a shell) from lees than 600 meters? If it's possible, try with smaller distances.
    3. How many plane parts can be damaged, such as wing ends or engine, before a plane is recognized as destroyed?
    4. Can you make a tower from tanks, where tanks can shoot accurately and guy on top doesn't have to press forward, when guy at the bottom moves?
    5. Find a slowest plane in a game. Can it fly with a speed of a maximum speed of slowest jet? Try to use WEP, fall from extreme altitudes and this everything on Arcade because of safety rules from not falling apart.
