Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Honestly we don’t even understand that clearly, like yes the fighters will be in Aces of Thunder but why keep them exclusive?

Would be cool to keep the Zeppelin though.

Hopefully we see the decision on not keeping the other aircraft reversed before the end of the event but seeing as how stubborn Gaijin can be I am losing hope.

This 20k pack is intended as a test to assess its market viability. However, I worry it could lead to challenges with future purchases, potentially resembling the situation with Star Citizen.

It was most likely intended to be a joke, but some people, probably thinking it will do nothing, decided to buy it.

And yet the upside like all bomber craft is it has a great bombload, and is heaps of fun to play.

And just like Hydroplanes already ingame spawned on maps without water. To land you basically belly land on the rwy and get repaired and rearmed and spawned in the air. It is already a fully added mechanic to the game with the respawn being in the air or first spawn above the RWY. So there is already major precident for something fun and unique with balanced aspects like this to be added to the game.

Why not make it an optional extra you can earn with event points or GE. Then players who don’t want it can choose not to get it??? Then everyone wins, those that want to use it will all it’s downsides and it’s upsides can. And those that don’t, won’t get it.

This is the poll I was referencing: Making the Zeppelin a reward in the WW1 mode event [WITH POLL]

It is already approaching 70 signups saying yes from those of us wanting the Zeppelin to finally come to the game, even if it’s this one time limited event.

We already have people clearly interested since this event with hopefully future additions of Zeppelins with Zeppelin tender ships.

How so? The naval AA is deadly for smaller, faster and more agile planes as is (Imagine how much of the easy target a slow moving zeppelin will be)

The zeppelins are actually slower than the ships themselves in some cases ngl i kinda want to see a race

Idk man it would be fun. Doesn’t have to be the new meta you know? Just like I would love to see seaplane carriers/tenders

And of course these zeppelin aircraft carriers

The one ingame goes 103kmh irl. That’s more than alright for speed. And obviously just like irl with bombers there is a major weakness against aa. In naval rb you never get close to a ship to bomb unless they have their aa off. So wouldn’t it be a fun consiquence where if you do ignore your aa you get blown away like normal against normal bombers?

Nvm I just read it hahahahah

Tbh im one of those people who only uses torpedo bombers in naval and ive had some success doing so even against stuff with aa on

True but the average person against battleships or large slow moving targets do not. Since the AA is meant for 4-8 aircraft diving together not 1. If you jink enough and manage to drop without any damage that shows alot of learned skill but is not the norm.

My main torpedo bomber i used was the pby lol

they can add those balloons to germany tech tree, it would be fun

What was the worst tank of WW1?

One of the French prototypes used American technology in its design — but was overall a terrible tank. Meet the Saint-Chamond tank, one of the worst tanks of World War One. The Saint-Chamond was in some ways a direct competitor to the Schneider CA1, France’s first tank.
