Anyway, I rather like the idea of what the French had. Basically, just low level fighters that are turn and burn. If the Germans (Concentrating this to strictly European nations) hadn't taken the idea of high altitude, fast, and what we saw in WW2; and done like what the French, Italians, British (Yes, the Hawker Hurricane was actually supposed to be a Biplane, but was configured to a monoplane due to what Germany was building.), and Eastern European nations were doing which was basically WW1 planes but more advanced. (And by that, I mean low, slow, and maneuverable such as biplanes, and slow monoplanes.) I think the French would have stood more of a chance against the Germans. I mean I do like German planes, but the French keeping to low, slow, and maneuverable is just cool.

Sure the planes may have been out of date already, and some not so structurally sound but who cares. WW2 could have been similarly been fought like WW1, but with more advanced bi-planes and this time around tanks and monoplanes.

So I've taken quite the liking to French aviation over the past week, and think they would make quite an interesting addition to BoP. (But I doubt that any more planes will be added in. )

whaooo!!very nice video about ms406!!thanks!!!
agree with u,i think unfortunatety we never see a french planes in this game but...we will see...maybe..please!!!!!!!
