In be4 French OP Pls nerf @ 20mm @ 1.3 lol
will there me a badge on the forum for those who bought the Pre-order vehicles? like there is one for the navy tester and the Regia Aeronautica. it's stupid but i feel proud to have some badge.
Lol now when i play as German FW190 D13 i must survive Narval spam in every game but thanks for this update...
Well well, nice job, nobody expected it to be released so soon but the game is unplayable after the update, the mm was never so broken like it is now. ( for example Me 163 vs Vautour for real ? :D )
WOW i did not expect France to happen at all until it was announced, and i did not expect the release before christmas! Gaijin, incredible job. Massive workload. Simply beautiful models. You are amazing. Please do not pay attention to thiose people complaining constantly over a basicallly FREE game. WT has cost me massive time of my life, but hey! Thank you anyway :))
Can you also add a czechoslovakia tree please? :)
Nice update Gaijin, really like the french planes. Now, I don't know where the place for suggestions are but mine is a small humble request. I'm Canadian, and I would find it really cool if you guys added the Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow and/or Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck to one of the tech trees (probably the American), doesn't matter if it's premium or not, and if it is I would definitely buy it. Anyways that's all I wanted to ask, love what you guys are doing and keep up the good work! Cpt_Aviator
well that was fast
You guys should make the jericho trumpets on the stukas audible to players on the ground so they know whats up
When will we be able to research and unlock all the french aircraft if we dont buy the 2 packs?
