Suggestion of the American Nation!

Makes more sense if it is mostly US and British gear anyways… (and bothered to correct the spelling)

not bad just don’t like how 20+ proposed weapons and vehicles are taken from other nations.

Many guns also do not make even sense in terms of land-lease and capture.
The Winchester G30 was a prototype developed for the US Armed Forces and was never even shown to the French.
The M36 Jacksons were issued post-war.
Turner SMLE was a Canadian-American prototype that was never shown to the French.
How did the French get the MP41, which was almost exclusively used on the Eastern Front?

With current gun performance i would switch places of Chauchat with M1909 i bet M1902 would be similar to M1922 as currently Japan has

Also it’s a crime to not have actual Hotchkiss M1922

That’s dumb mate, if anything it should be panthers going up in BR not down

Wait france should get a panther but already in BR 3?

Why should france have acces to a USSR plane?
The plane in WT was dedicated to a french pilot fighting on the eastern front under the direct leadership of the USSR.

I don’t think that France should be forced to have a be 4 and 5 if it can’t fill it (stop at br3). This way it still feels like France not USA clone. Also less lend lease equipment so France can keep it’s identify.

Okay, we look at you say, we are working to make it look more “french” and less copy paste from america

NO, it would practically be an Allied Faction 2.0, a Faction for the British is better

13

Why have you placed Meunier behind M1? Its 10x better than it.
Also I think this alternative TT is way more French than above:

Would be a shame if all of this come without a Belgium map, hihihihi🤭

I would change the SMG tree to a

(can be rearranged depending on needs)

MAC 1935 (7,65mm) > STA 1924 (9mm) > MAS 1933 (9mm) > MAS 38 > Gnome et Rhône R5 (9mm) > SE-MAS 1922 > Pistolet ETVS > Petter Mle 1939 > Thompson 1921 (with French order specs) (still .45 ACP) > Chauchat-Ribeyrolles 1918 SMG (w/ chauchat mag)

One could argue the Erma should be there given it was a Belgian variant in 9mm Largo and not the German version in 9mm Para

For rifles, just forget the Garand and look up “Proud Promise: French Autoloading Rifles” on internet Archive. All my following picks are form this book.

Garand replacement : I am a fan of the MAT 1931 for the two piece asthetic but if you really want a Garand look alike, use the MAS 1928-31 instead.
SE-MAS 38-39 and MAS 40 are good picks for end of tree (especially the MAS 40 with scope which would go well with the short 10 round box magazine and the MAS 40 with 25 rounds box magazine )

Top of the Rifle line : The FM ENT B1 can top the branch with its detachable box magazine version. Alternatively the Berthier Automatic Rifle (not the book one, the other one that is a convertible between MG and Autorifle), can do the same.

Also where the hell is the Sniper Lebel ?

AT/Mortar line : AC Boys was used but i think the Nivert rifle would be a better fit (maybe have both idk)
I am forced to admit there is no equivalent to the PIAT or Bazooka
But Flamethrower-wise we have the Schilt, the P3, the P4, no need for US stuff

MG line : 1909 ok, but why Bren mk1 when there is the FM MAS 1922 (not the Hotchkiss 1922, different gun)
The FM SE MAS 40 could also play a role there or as a FG-42 equivalent (same weight, same role as a paratrooper gun = same place)
Chauchat is never bad
MAC 1931 should have the version with the 24/29 bipod and a longer stock and the version with the fixed bipod. Maybe differentiate them with drum/box mag

Throw in a Infantry Darne MG and ana M1913 Chauchat-Stutter MG (aka top-loaded chauchat or air chauchat)

Tank and plane wise… we’re gonna need a lot of copies but at least remove the Vought 156 and put a Loire-Nieuport 40 and 41. The Hotchkiss 39 is useless (no matter where you put it). can’t say much about the rest. ARL44 feels wrong as it is a 1946 production (and trust me i am very defensive of it in WT)
