The garford makes this event so much less fun to play, it overpressures everything in 1 shot and takes out the a7v in 2 shots. If you manage to hit one then your shot will most likely pass through the tank and since its fast it will just scurry away and since the guns are low velocity and the normal tanks are casemates it makes it rly hard to hit it on the move. The event went from the famous ww1 tanks fighting to 16 armored tractors lobbing bombs at eachother. I spend matches just looking for any other tank besides garfords because they are so hard to kill. Garford players also take this event wayyy to seriously, they only play the garford, never touch triple entente, spawncamp, and sit behind a house the whole match and peak for 5 seconds to turn a st. chamond into mush before running away before the others can hit them.

They should probably make the Garford cost some SP to spawn and take away the free second spawn so it’s spammed less. St Chamond, A7V and the Mk V/Mk IV are the most iconic early tanks present in this event, after all.
Additionally I have zero idea why the Garford HE round has such inflated kinetic penetration values despite being broadly comparable to the St Chamond HE that has higher velocity. Even significantly later 75mm or 76mm HE rounds have inferior KE penetration (HSTV-L for example fires a 6.4kg round at 910m/s and only has 20mm KE penetration while the Garford has 24mm at 381m/s with identical mass. Centurion Mk1 fires a 76mm HE round that is HEAVIER and twice as fast but still only manages 20mm KE penetration.)
