French vehicles

I suppose France deserves (and will get) a tree of its own sooner or later in War Thunder. Those few D.520 and D.521 in the British tree are but a start.

The really interesting planes will be Bloch M.B. 157 (a P-47D equivalent), M.B. 162 (a faster B-17 equivalent), M.B. 175 (Pe-2 equivalent) as well as the Potez 631C3 (another Bf 110C equivalent).

Meanwhile, they had a huge quantity of interesting tanks up to 1940, with plans sufficient for tanks competitive up to 1942 and later on they used U.S.-made tanks, followed by French post-war designs including the unique AMX-13 light tank.

Here's a wonderful website on French tanks, best if you can read French:

Website: Secret Projects forum

Secret Projects Forum is a great forum for the discussion of historical aircraft, tank, space, missile and ship programs. I think it's the best address for information about quite obscure versions, prototypes and types in general. You'll find obscure aircraft types of unknown-to-you developers in there. Check it out whenever you want to learn about the historical example of some unknown aircraft or tank you spot on WT!
