You not seeing them doesn’t mean they were invisible - just you looking in the wrong places. You should have looked where they were, not where they were not.
I had times when I didn’t see the last grunt too - so I kept looking until I found him… instead of crying.
Next time we won’t put any pea under the mattress and see if you still can’t get to sleep…

Yeah, I did look. In all the trenches, on the map, nothing there.
Clearly needed to have a ‘mum’ look

Or the game is broken?
I meant that as a joke. I played both sides for a few hours each day until the event ended, the event was fairly stable excluding the first day, generally everything worked fine for me and the infantry in the trenches where fun to engage with, only feedback would be to add hitmarkers for infantry

Dude! I’ve been trying the only thing coming up is the trailer music for the event :(
All we can do is pray to the snail 🐌 🙏
This mode is bad. I am not even gonna sugarcoat it, I love the new vehicle but it just bad. Also the soldier bot are borderline invincible unless you directly hit it, even with the main 75mm gun hitting them they still act like nothing. I am not looking forward to an infantry mode if this is what we gonna get

Overall, I’m glad the event will be over soon. The indirect fire and looking for some pixels on a washed out screen got old really fast. The fighter plane just refused to climb in many situations. I was just slowly falling down while trying to fly horizontally. As it was, how would it even be able to get off the ground?
Looks like some people were sitting there for hours and hours a day. They found their little sniping tactics, found where the enemy was going the most and then just did the same thing over and over again for some stupid reason. 8+ kills while making it more difficult for people who just were trying to accomplish the task.
Funny how some skins just stood out like sore thumbs while Garford was perfectly blending with the background on this washed out screen most of the time. Beutepanzer has a decent skin, too. No idea why they used these light skins on this map. If I were a tank commander, I would at least try to smear some mud on my tank. Anything better than what’s there now.

The Garfield has a low shell velocity. You can find a ditch or divot, binocular over said ditch or divot, rangefind and press LMB after scrolling with the wheel to get a near-guaranteed kill without any smoke or tracer indicating your current position.
And revenge bomb with what? Zeppelins can be shot out of the sky with tanks and entente bombers aren’t that much better.
Worst issue for balance imo was:
- Too much horsepower, not enough traction. Best mobility should be the MkV with garfields being the worst and relegated to field artillery role. A7V and Saints should have been middle of the road with tendency to get stuck. As it were, we had the inverse which defeated the MkV’s main purpose.
- Aced & maxed crew made it so taking out (or losing) your gunner was irrelevant. You could replace it immediately even if it required climbing over a dozen dead bodies and an engine block and solid crew separator.
- Said aced & maxed crew also gave these WW1 vehicles with terrible to non-existent optics, unstable gun platforms the capability to land pinpoint shots across 800+ meters when in early WW2 300-400 yards was considered inaccurate for british tanks. Auto-ranging should’ve had significant delays and movement should’ve disrupted zeroing the gun to a distance
- Aircraft instructor models needed serious work. They bled far too much energy flying uncoordinated and yawing incomprehensibly. While it’s nice that stick and rudder is rewarded, this made aircraft give the wrong impression.
- Zeppelin should’ve started higher and had better convergence
We should’ve also had an air-only variant of the event because I wanted to have cool dogfights in the biplanes but many matches I just flew around doing nothing as nobody was spawning anything but garfields.
These planes had veritably better cockpits than some premiums, yet we cannot keep them to enjoy in game modes where cockpit flying is universal.

No honest but full of jokes, This mode is now balanced
Because Gaijin killed everything but made Garford worth playing.
Happy to play Entente on later stage of event because every Entente vehicle can get ‘penetrated’ by 76mm Granate.
At least A7V needed to aim for the weak spot to make it overpressure.
Oh, If we think of excluding those nasty ruski-biased milk trucks,
Then the situation of the Entente side becomes even worse, as long as gaijin butchered Mark V since day 1 and never buffed it, and Chamond which has good gun but can’t exploit the indirect fire and need to expose hull.
while German Berte Mk IV has the same gun with A7V, which can be used as a meh backup for A7V.
On day 1, I wanted to see more of the WW1 theme events
and on day 6, I don’t want to see any more of ww1 theme shits and removal of those Garfords from my account.
With Gaijin’s skill level, we can predict that the Next WW1 event will be even worse than this junk.

Yup, after listening to it, it seems it is just the trailer music, while battle music is nowhere to be seen.
Sadly so, been trying to finds this since my first game :(
entente got pummeled most of the time
victories on their side were rare
The idea of the event is a great one.
Sadly it did not really live up to it. In my opinion there was too little Infantry that did nothing really. Holding points is nice, but the Infantry was overall lackluster…
The Biplanes were horrible. One turn and you fell out the sky. The most kills on biplanes I saw was that they crashed into the ground during a turnfight.
