:furious It's just that... I don't see any French vehicles! (if there is, just tell me)
I Suggest atleast a simple French made vehicle, like... the B1 bis or the Panhard 178
or (my favorite) the Laffly W-15 TCC .

French war machines that have been asked for:
D.520 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,249322.0.html)
VG-36 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,246305.0.html)
i know there were more before the BBS crash earlier this year, but i had to dive very far in the wishlist just to find these.
someone else will be along soon to criticize your post
good day

I guess the main argument against introducing French rides in general, is that they would have limited use in both the MA and scenarios. Any French ride is only likely to be competitive in the early war MA, since their was no weapons development in France after 1940. Similarly the only scenarios you can run with them is the Battle of France and maybe Operation Torch.
If you were HTC planning a 1940 era addition to the game, a German, Italian or British ride would make more sense. There would probably be more scenarios it could be used in for a start (Battle of Britain, Desert war, Balkans, Greece, early Russian etc.) Many of these rides might have uprated 1941 and later versions that could be added to the game as well.

nah... come on now. Be nice. ;)
People who have researched know why France got walked over in WWII by the Germans. Most of us who have know it wasnt the French military's fault. The French actually have a very capable military at the start of WWII. Bigger and better (debatable) tanks, equal fighters, superior artillery, equal infantry, larger navy (at least to or better in quality as well), but I'm unsure of how bomber forces matched up. Yeah, the new tactics used by the Germans were paramount (shoot-n-move and combined arms vs stand and fight), but ultimatly the French military could have countered due to sheer numbers and equipment. France's travesty was due far more to its .govt's lack of action, direction, and solidarity vs its military's lack of ability or will to fight when it came to defending French soil. It is much the same as the USA today, doncha think, yo?
Even fewer of us who researched why France lost when the Germans invaded know that France acutally invaded Germany almost un-opposed while the Germans were invading Poland, but turned around 22 miles into Germany for the same reason they were walked on when Germany invaded 7 months later. For those who want to learn more about this I suggest researching "Operation Saar", ... and not on the internet. Go to the local library and get away from the populist BS. ;)

It true.

Then there is the French battle cry of "I SURRENDER!"

It would be nice to have the MS.406... I don't know how it stacks up to the D.520, but it was used by the FAF in the Winter War as well as by France.

French vehicles only have reverse gear, while white flags explode out of gun turret. that won't work in a combat game....oui?

I know they did the German only won because they had air power. 1,500 planes vs 800 RAF i think.

The Vg.33 was a good plane there was other plane that was a dive bomber plane but i forget what it was call. But there tanks weren't the best some were.

Do a little research, French tanks were equal to, if not superior to the German tanks in both quantity and quality during the Battle of France. It was superior German tactics, not equipment that beat the French tanks.

The French had THE SUPERIOR Tanks at the start of WWII. But they hadn't a clue as to properly use them to the best of their ability.
The Char was 33 tons and had one weakness that was exploited later when the French were invaded. But it was superior to the German tanks of the time.
If you wanna get technical grammarboi, the Germans rarely used "captured French vehicles". But they used Char's and D.520's. The D.520's were praised by the Luftwaffe and utilized as trainers.
....and You didn't know.

Wellllll, if you want to get technical...
- Gallic Wars
- Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. [Or at ths time in history, a Roman -ed.]
- Hundred Years War
- Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Sainted.
- Italian Wars
- Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.
- Wars of Religion
- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots
- Thirty Years War
- France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.
- War of Revolution
- Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.
- The Dutch War
- Tied
- War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War
- Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.
- War of the Spanish Succession
- Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.
- American Revolution
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."
- French Revolution
- Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.
- The Napoleonic Wars
- Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.
- The Franco-Prussian War
- Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.
- World War I
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States [Entering the war late -ed.]. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.
- World War II
- Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.
- War in Indochina
- Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu
- Algerian Rebellion
- Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.
- War on Terrorism
- France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

I think it would be a good idea to have French vehicles as well as Italian.

They use the captured tanks they got from the French in 2 line duty for radio on the Eastern front.You didn't know.I think it would be a good idea to have French vehicles as well as Italian.
But the Italian weren't that good the M13/40 only had 25mm of armor and only a 47 mm main gun would be easy pray for tigers and Shermans.

I know that but there were that good late in the war.
Considering that French tank development and production ceased after their defeat in the Battle of France, I would venture an educated guess that German tanks developed and produced after the Battle of France were superior to French tanks developed and produced prior to the Battle of France.

While some of the captured Char's were pressed into German service on the Eastern Front, far more served in rear units or in other less active areas such as the Channel Islands. A lot were also given to the German allies such as Croatia and Romania. Quite a few were also stripped for parts, for example the turrets removed and placed on gun cars attached to trains or modified with increased armor or in some cases, unsuccessfully with larger guns.

GERMAN MODIFICATION OF FRENCH CHAR B TANKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is reported that the Germans are modifying French heavy tanks of the Char B (30-ton) type.
The 75-mm. gun is being transferred from the hull to a new turret. This would be a logical improvement. The gun in its previous position could only fire forward. Moreover, owing to the low mounting in the hull, it could not be fired from the defiladed position, and when crossing antitank trenches the gun barrel was apt to become clogged with earth.
