AB 205 also has the option of guns, UK Gazelle does not. Hence why its not the starter helicopter.

It also has the option of guns too. Whilst a British Gazelle could have 14 SNEBs and nothing else.

It does not have flares as far as im aware. This was a mistake in the artwork.

It has a gunpod underneath and Kh-66 rockets.

Again, Japan has a UH-1B with only FFARs.

AB 205 is exactly fitting for a starter helicopter.

Not in this patch.

People asked for French Event vehicles. I explained previously how its harder to do event vehciles for smaller nations for several reasons, mostly being:

1) Nations like USA / USSR etc have examples of well known experimental / prototype vehicles or just such an excess of production vehicles that some can be event vehicles. There is also generally a plethora of readily available information on such vehicles, meaning we can implement them in reasonable timeframes. Nations like France, whilst having some prototype and experimental vehicles do not come close to the other nations and have to have quite a few of these diverted to the main tree. Those obscured prototypes that remain are also have much less info on.

2) Event vehicles must also be interesting and something attractive to players. Not just a small niche. EBR is very clearly a good choice for an event vehicle as its unique interesting and as you can see for yo...

A jet used operationally and a French event vehicle that people have asked for. It may not be all (still uncertain), but regardless if it is or not, its very clear from today there are certain people that are going to be displeased in a lot of situations and there is nothing we can do for them.

You already asked this and Its already been answered. The possibility of all nations getting more helicopters remains open in the future. But for now, we have 3 joining.

Japanese UH-1B has x 38 rockets. The Italian one is in the exact same situation.

As for the UK Gazelle. It would have exactly 14 rockets. Hardly comparable here.

Making a lot of helicopters and making a lot of armed helicopters that fit the scope of the game, that are also not just variants of the same thing are not the same thing.

Its also the same case for lots of nations. There are lots of examples of Lynx we could add, AH-1, UH-1 etc etc.

Helicopters will be expanded over time, but its not viable to implement everything.

Im not sure why you are treating the Italian Helicopters as though they are different from others?

In the American tree you start with the AH-1G with a Machine gun and rocket and the Japanese tree begins with a UB-1B with only FFAR rockets.

Not today.

Not the case actually. Simply FlakRak was finished first

Barely any information available on it. Should more come to light then it's not outside the realm of possibility in the future, but the current ADATS is just as capable.

That's all of them for now. Worth noting Britain also launched with 3, so it's not unusual.

What about it? Vehicles in development can take 6-12 months depending on a variety of factors. Nobody said to expect anything soon.

Indeed, but perhaps not from the start as it's still WIP. It's very possible it may be ready in time but unfortunately you can't please everyone.

Event vehicles must also be interesting and something people are actually interested in getting. What's interesting to you is not the same as everyone else. So also adding some super obscure French prototype would be a waste as not enough people would be interested.

Unfortunately some people complain France does not get event vehicles and then complain even when they do.

1) We don't show everything on Dev streams

2) Lota of vehicles enter the game that have a unique feature irl not modelled from the start. Eventually its added later.

Regardless of whether or not it "counts" for you, it's a very cool French event vehicle that people were asking for

Again, more may be possible in the future, but most trees start out small and expand over time.

Bismarck armoured car also seems to come up with it.

We did warn you today was going to be something to look forward too ))

We have the S.2 not the A or B regardless of what modifications they were. A was S.2's given to the RAF much later. As such they received new weaponry too.
