      If there’s something interesting with wot, you’ll see it here. If there is nothing to post, then ofc you won’t see wot articles. But there’s no reason to go around whining in the comment section of articles you don’t want to read in the first place.

      The patch notes stated that the rear gunner view is for aircraft with a single-gunner seat. It’s not available for bombers or any aircraft with multiple gunner positions…yet. FYI – if you prefer the old gunner view, you can disable this new gunner view option in the Settings menu. It will be enabled by default.

        What I’m saying is, there have been a few French planes in the game’s files for some time now. I recognize you from the WT forum, so I imagine you know that already. So, I’m asking if you have anything else to suggest that France is coming soon. Don’t get me wrong, I really want to see France added to the game, too; I’m just interested to know what your reasoning is in saying that they’ll “probably be next update.”

      From Mike10d Unofficial DEV server patch notes.
      There was already French planes added before this DEV server and there has been more files that point that French is getting added soon.
