http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_War_II_weapons_of_France
Contrary to popular belief, France did make their own weapons, tanks, uniforms and airplanes. It wasn't until after the Battle of France that the Free French Forces were forced to borrow American and British guns, so seeing as CoH2 is a game rather than a simulator I don't see the problem with adding the French Army with their tanks, weapons and equipment from 1939-45.
Here's a fun fact, did you know that the French Char B1 was considered the best tank in the world? It was strong enough to engage German panzers head on during the Battle of France. Their main infantry rifle which was the Fusil MAS36 was considered the primiere bolt action rifle in WW2. While the Lee Enfield, Mosin Nagant and K98 were excellent rifles, the MAS36 was extremely accurate and very powerful. One thing was for certain; the French troops could rely on the MAS36 in a tough battle.
Aside from the fact that the French did have their own artillery, tanks, airplanes, pistols, machine guns, rifles, equipment, uniforms and etc the French would make a good addition because of a few reasons:
A) The new US and German faction look really good, wouldn't you agree? Relic maanaged to make these factions extremely unique and not just copy-paste factions, so I imagine they can do the same for the French. I personally welcome more variety in factions and i'm not in any rush to have Relic add any factions any time soon since they're going to release two factions in 20 ish days.
B) I'm of French ancestry/blood and it would nice to see Relic give the French Army their due credit. The French fought the hardest in WW1 and the French Army fought with valour and courage in both World War's. While the French Army(Official Government one) got defeated in the Battle of France, they never stopped fighting and eventually defeated the Germans and won WW2. It's only right if Relic would add the French Army.
Get in the back of the line. There are several other factions that people wrote the same paragraph for. |

US paratroopers come off of a plane. What are the odds of getting that plane shot down before they spawn? OKW seems to have strong air counters...
Better yet, when they are in midair, you can probably wipe them out by rushing a flak halftrack to their LZ. |
That video doesn't demonstrate anything. You had t2 and t3 plus the entire map (therefore tons of muni to burn on zis barrages) and all the Zis did was decrew the MG, which he could have recrewed. It's supposed to be able to decrew weapons teams, I still don't understand why that's a problem.
Hes too stubborn to see any other way. End of thread, unsensible OP. |

Both the lefh and ML-20 are barrage only. Shouldve just asked in the shoutbox. |

You shouldnt pay for a necessity. If such a thing happens, people will mod and hack their own. It does not add stuff to the game, it should not be paid for. |
Really some posts before I saw US got the combat engineers armed with Grease gun, my impression is that US will be like the old Brit, u have to tech to T1 or T2 to get Engineer (sapper) to lay mines. No way Relic can create a faction with no access to AI mines.
They just did... they dont need AI mines. That is what infantry and heavy ai power tanks are for... i dont understand why people are in denial and compare WFA to vCoH factions... THEY ARENT THE SAME. Watch the stream again, and hear it word by word. The weapons racks in the base are there for a reason. Every unit can grab them for a reason. |
You're not listening, they aren't Snipers in the traditional sense. They're more like old Vet 2 Grenadiers with G43 upgrade.
Frankly, im getting annoyed as well. The days of snipers shall not continue. One man being able to kill one model per shot wasnt a good idea. So there is a four man squad that is doctrinal with no AT, and has a high chance of killing squads easily, but can be killed by storming it with two squads, or simply by using vehicles. Therefore, you are more evenly matched when using other squads. At least that is the assumption, since they performed like g43 grenadiers from march deployment. |
The Pathfinder is the American sniper (doctrinal), it is stated in the video. I thought it looked more like a 5 man G43 squad. He mentioned something about RNG giving a bonus with the unit. Still, that's pretty good and the squad wasn't expensive either.
Thought they were four man, (they are), and they have practically nothing for AT. A good replacement for the sniper without being too stupid, but having use in all stages of the game.
4 MAN 4 MAN 4 MAN <-----

What about snipers on all factions?
I'm not sure but I think there is no Sniper unit in american faction.
What about OKW ?
Personally, I don't like the idea of not having snipers in american side, it is a mandatory unit.
Because we all know the situation with snipers is perfect. Americans have doctrinal "snipers", the torchbearers for drop zones who are really good at recon and ranging other units. Whats broken shouldnt be repeated. |
Why must you be so hostile? I was only going by what I saw in the stream.
For the record, the AI did not know what Americans were, so the grenadier squad suicided into the engi, first by getting suppressed and eventually pinned within 3 seconds. |
