French arsenal

[Hyrikul]

Hello there!

I discovered this game today and frankly it's been a great discovery so far !

As a Frenchman, I'm happy to see the Famas in the game, it's still quite rare, and I'm looking forward to getting it ! (but it might take a while, given the grind toward lvl 95...).

Anyway, I'd like to suggest a few nice French weapons and vehicles that are often unknown and never used in games, and yet there are some fine beasts out there !

I'm going to show some YouTube videos when i can, so you can get a bit of history on the weapon/vehicle, and the devs can get a close-up view of the models.




WEAPONS (in no particular order):

First idea, not a new weapon, but to add to the Famas in the game the ability to fire the grenades dedicated to it (HE and HEAT, afaik).

Either for all Famas, or for the engineers' Famas. It would add firepower to the weapon and even light anti-vehicle capability.

Then the FR-F2 sniper rifle:

The HECATE II anti-material rifle (.50 calibre) (some may recognise it from having used it while hunting Deathclaw in the desert, or from having used it in the hands of a girl with coloured hair in an anime).

And to finish off with the sniper, the Ultima ratio.

As revolver, the mighty MR73:

Then, because why not, amore modern variant of the Famas:

VEHICLES:

Next, I'm going to draw up a list of French vehicles that would have a place in the game, but I don't know what era the game is set in, as some of them may be too 'modern' for that.

Troop transport:

VAB (old troop transport, usually with a .50):

VBCI / VBCI 2 (more modern than the VAB, with 25mm autocanon, or 40mm + atgms)

Griffon: The actual and new French troop transport.

MBT:
Leclerc

Reco:
Amx 10 rc (a 6x6 wheeled reco with a 105mm, one of the few wheeled vehicles in the world that, as well as being able to use hydro to raise, shrink or angle itself, can pivot on itself like a tank)

VBL (French jeep that can use from 7.62 to 0.50 to also some atgm launcher, or even AA platform.)

EBRC Jaguar: a top notch modern light tank/support:

Choppa!
The old Puma or modernized Super Puma:

The more modern NH90:

Gazelle, as light reco/transport:

If we have attack helicopter one day, the Tigre:

There a first list, of course i miss a lot of them, and a lot of them have different variant and weaponry, it's just for giving an idea that more French stuff can be really nice, and it would be a change from the decades-long habit of seeing US and Russian equipment everywhere everytime.
