VIVE LA FRANCE! WAR THUNDER ROLLS OUT NEW NATION WITH FRENCH AIRCRAFT
TO BE RELEASED WITH THE NEXT UPDATE
We are pleased to announce the release of a new, seventh nation in War Thunder - France! The 1.73 update will add more than 30 French aircraft to the game - from the fighters of the 30s to multirole post-war jet models.
|
Kirill Yudintsev, Creative Director of Gaijin Entertainment: “Some of the French planes included in Update 1.73 were promising but never entered mass production because of the demands of World War II, so information on them was difficult to source. We spent more than a year in development, searching for various references and painstakingly recreating these rare planes to make War Thunder’s French aviation. We are sure that the pilots of War Thunder will look forward to finally testing these machines in battle.” |
Fighter pilots will join the ranks of the French Air Force tree in the Dewoitine D.371, which was one of France’s first developments away from the old-fashioned biplanes to the faster but still maneuverable monoplanes. While the D.371 did not participate in the battles of World War II, it earned recognition during the Spanish Civil War, where it fought on the Republican side against the Nationalist forces, amongst them, future Luftwaffe aces. Three variations of this fighter with different machine gun armaments will be available immediately after release, as well as the premium D.371 H.S.9 with two 20mm cannons.
During the war, a growing characteristic of French aviation design was the tendency towards universal, multi-purpose combat aircraft. In the post-war era, this tendency became the standard design philosophy for French jet aircraft. By a successful combination of various offensive and secondary armaments, those aircraft could successfully perform the tasks of both fighters and bombers.
A prime example of this philosophy is the SNCASO SO.8000 Narval, a highly unusual fighter with a pusher propeller design. This aircraft can excel at a variety of tasks, from intercepting enemy aircraft to supporting ground forces and reconnaissance. In its standard configuration the SO.8000 features an impressive armament of six 20mm cannons, but if the aircraft is tasked to engage ground targets, it can be further equipped with 8 unguided rockets and two bombs.
Players who complete special marathon tasks or purchase pre-order bundles in our online shop will be the first who will be able to try out the new French aircraft. If you will pre-order before the release of the 1.73, you will receive as a gift exclusive in-game titles and decals:

Both aircraft are of course Premium machines :)
In that case...not interested ;)
The D.372 is the version of the Dewoitine with 20 mm cannon, not the D.371. Also why does the SO.8000 get German guns? ))))
All answers (1)DodgerRoger, AFAIK you are wrong. Not for the first time ;)
Gaijin... I feel like you rush too much with those new nations... eras - instead of deep look into broken BR system (especially jets) - all BR changes you made were based on player statistics - not vehicle performance, that should change. Biased/too big maps should be reworked. There's problem of bombers climbing to space and airfield AAA being way too good.
We have changed behaviour of AAA several times, like a lot of times, dozens of times since 2012. Somebody claims something is too good or too bad all the time, we cannot change big parts of our game only because someone changes opinion twice per month. We have several millions of players - and every has different opinion of how things should be done. BR system is not based just on statistics, it is based on vehicle performance as well - and before we implement any BR changes, we consult it with you - players, and then we implement your ideas as well. Maps are reworked regularly. There are dedicated teams that work on different content, we won't let coders do the 3D graphics and map creators do the BR's. I understand your concern, but you don't need to worry. Development of some content is not alienating on other content.
All answers (18)Thulle_, "you people"
All in all, me and perhaps 15% of players in this game would agree with you. However, all you see now adays is "Where is the Swedes?" "Why no Italian tanks?" "Where is M1 Abrahms? " ;) "If Italians get planes, why shouldn't the French?" Me, I think Gaijin should focus on what they started, aka, where's my Naval I was promised? It's been close to a year.
All answers (2)aBowlOfFruit, Naval forces are probably halfway to the trashbin to be reworked to allow bogger ships to be inplemented in some way
Quick to the Hype train full of baguettes, croissants and wine!
MOTHER OF MOTHERS
Is there a list for all 30 aircraft somewhere?
All answers (2)FuglenKurt, Yup! It's hidden behind the painting of The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies by Van Klomp.
can we put a white flag on it
Nope. They are here to fight!
All answers (20)Stona_WT, whats the gear ratio, 5 reverse, one forwards?
VIVA LA FRANCE (russian aircraft approach) where is my white flag?
Vive la gaijin
Vive la escargot
