I don't consider the Tempest as true french plane even if she's wearing Clostermann colors :)

Yeah, some French planes would be good! So all these squads that jump from country to country can now do it and be historically acurate! :p

the French had planes with less than two wings in WW2? Did any of them make it off the ground? :)

Mandoble,

Great idea ! I hope for a D520 even if it's more like a c205 than a spitIX...
We have also a 2 engine fighter but i can't remember it's name.

Yes french plane are early war birds, as the P40... Yes they don't stand a chance on MA, but on CT it could be great.

You mean something like the Dewoitine D 520?  Considered to be the best French fighter ever built, they could manage a cruising speed of 325 but lacked the direct injection of the Bf-109E and tended to cut engine power in negative G dives.  Most were flown across the Med into Africa just before the collapse of France.  There, the Vichy puppet government used them against the RAF Hurricanes.  Armed with a single cannon in the nose with four 7.9mm machine guns in the wings.

I think its a sharp-looking little airplane.

French planes are far too ugly for the eye's of some of the young folks in AH.  We don't want to scar some kid for life do we?  WELL?

...sheesh, insensitive bastiges!

I won't answer the provocation as I'm now more wise than 2 year before ...












my thought exactly : ;)

Ha ha! Hello! Smelly English K...niggets ... and Monsieur Arthur King, who has the brain of a duck, you know

We French persons outwit you a second time, perfidious English/american  mousedropping hoarders ... how you say: "Begorrah!"

How you English say: I one more time, mac, I unclog my nose towards you, sons of a window-dresser, so, you think you could out-clever us French fellows with your silly knees-bent creeping about advancing behavior

I wave my private parts at your aunties, you brightly-colored, mealy-templed, cranberry-smelling, electric donkey-bottom biters.

I think they had some french planes early on.

But they all surrendered in the first two weeks after beta.

I hear the hoofbeats of the Four Horsemen, and the skies are a-low'ring.  A cold wind blows across the plain, and somewhere in the distance, a bell tolls ominously.

I agree with MANDOBLE -- can the Apocalypse be far behind?

I was sure this thread was going to be about the IJAAF.  ;)

In combat from continously from 1937 to 1945, very long for a WWII combatant by any standard.   Fought the Russians, the Chinese, the British, Dutch, Australians, and US.

Really hoping for a surprise plane in 1.10!

what we need is the skin option for AH like we did with AW... so that players can customize their own planes.  (though it won't show for others online...)
