Since I recently learned no French aircraft carrier is planned for the moment, I made a list of all French aircraft carriers that could be added, with all armed naval planes and helicopters they carried.

I only listed armed naval helicopters but other French helicopters could also be used from these.

You can add the Commandant Teste (Seaplane handler, yes, but is that really so different in role from a helicopter carrier?)

 

You could also add Joffre which was under construction in 1940, and was planned to use navalized D.520s (D.790) among other things. Probably in a distinct category.

Good thread. But shouldn't this be in the suggestion area rather than here?

It’s not detailed enough to be a suggestion imo. I just listed all possibilities here so we can suggest them individually later in the appropriate section.

Yeah I would like to see the Clémenceau in the future, plus if we get the Crusader and Super Étendard in the future it may be the best optiom

Clemenceu fits with the timeline of the modern carriers in the game.  Would love to see it.
