The Berthier Mle 1907/15 M16 rifle, Berthier Mousqueton M1892/1916, and the Mle 1886 M93-R35 were heavily used in the war by the Free French Forces and the French Foreign Legion. Since all you have been doing is adding BR V gimmicks to the game, now would be a great time to add BR l and BR ll French weaponry to the tech tree for more options that aren’t Enfield or Springfield rifles.

I don’t think the new “front” is going to be soviets vs japan as the devs said the would consider making a japan vs soviets event, just doesn’t make sense.
I theorize the next update is battle of france, with new french stuff. Its possible the comment was in relation to the french gold order weapon, but that seems like to much of a tease for what is essentially a bren

I’d rather keep them separate.
I think the French tree could actually be the Minor Allied Powers tree.
So you can lump the Polish, Dutch, Belgian and the French together as many of these used a lot of French equipment like helmets, rifles and some armour.
I would also open up a 1940 set of French campaign maps that would be a fantastic opener for BR I and II players.

I could definitely see it once they move soldier nationality to the customization options. I’d really love to see a chauchat in the Allied tech tree!
The decision to add the Chatellerault to the Allied tech tree was a really poor one. It seems like they just wanted to get rid of that asset without having to create a French event squad if not a faction at the very least. Hopefully, we get to see France being represented in any way shape or form going forward. The game desperately needs some brand new content to infuse some fresh blood.

Werent those exact weapons captured in droves by the germans during the fall of france?
When france returned they mostly uses allied supplied equipment as that is what was available in large quantitiy outside of france.
I think adding it in a german tech tree would make a lot more sence as germany uses a crap ton of captured equipment on all fronts.

I they ever add the Frech army i suppose they could add a French tech tree (with gears from the 1939 - 1940 era) and two campaigns with the French army (Battle of France 1940 / Operation Torch 1942).
Depending on your French BR you play either France against low BR Germans (BR 1 or 2) in Battle of France or Vichy France against low BR USA (BR 1and 2) in Operation Torch .
France could be be a faction having one campaign against Axe and one against the Allies.

Something interesting for France = Hotchkiss
New frontline will be Manchuria, because this is what the players want.
what the players want is not what we usually get, who asked for rzhev?
probably discord schizos
I hope it is going to be SS event squad for germans
Literally me.

“We can’t have the British Empire as an independent faction but we can have a faction that only lasted like one month”
There are so many battles of the war, I want them all
Honestly it bothers me when I see people asking for future conflicts when we’ve barely scratched the surface of this war

I think it’s fine for now if we get say premium or event French squads, but at the moment I don’t know about an independent faction
But I will say that I believe French and even Dutch or Polish or any other minor nation weapons should be given to Germany since you know for 90% of the war they were absorbed
No. Add them to the German tree where they belong
Ladies and gentlemen, we finally did it. We found who asked. Lol

I think it will be appropriate to add this here

I specifically chose these weapons because they were shipped to the French colonial units and the French Foreign Legion by the thousands. You can check if you don’t believe me.
