Personally, I think the Reason(s) why the A7V is as good as it is, is because it has 18 crew, and its cannon is pretty competent. The St-Chamond is probably the best for the Entente due to its cannon being good, and it has a better chance at penning the A7V.
Meanwhile my first tank I got out of the event was the Mark V so I cant complain, one step closer to a WW1 lineup with the Swordfish (literally just wood and cloth), now just need the H.P.12
If that true then why are they tapping into a market a competitor has already done and is 1,000 time more better lol. I mean tell my why should I play a VR only sim where I need to not only get a VR set but also get the game and rank lol
For less I can get at least two modules from the flying circus series.
Tbf the crew is very spaced out if you compare it to everyone else. St. Charmond is horrible tight and one shot nukes the crew. A7V has 2 compartments in the main hull with the driver/commander area being a 3rd compartment. Additionally many cant pen the A7V outside the “exterior” compartment which only has the driver and gunner. The landship has its ammo in the gun which is easy to exploit. St. Charmond has really tight crew space. And the Garford has no pen and gets stuck because the mud is an inch high.
The A7V is the best of all the worlds, spaced crew, punchy gun, fast reload, strong frontal armor (compared to every other tank in the event.)
The mark 4 and 5 with 3 second per gun (compared to the 4 second of the A7V) would be better if it wasnt so weird to change the gun sight and could dish out a lot more.
After the reload nerf of the A7V they should limit the spawn to only one (instead of 2) to bring more balance.
Reload nerf again would be possible aswell I just hope they would revert it to 3s again after the event to make it viable in normal mode
Honestly, my first 2/3 games i was in German side (didn’t know where to change).
I was among the top, gettin 4+ kills, without dying.
Then i changed for Entente, and now if i make a kill every 2 game i am happy, i’m getting OS everytime i show myself, can’t even have the time to aim.
And it’s crazy if i see one flag going blue.
Gun sight on the Landships is horrible lol, i hate needing specific niche keybinds for events. But im more referring to reload and pen. The A7V has better pen and similar reload to the landship which is a bit silly. It should get a second or 2 added so its a bit more balanced. Additionally Gszabi mentioned 30mm RHA changed to structural steel in the A7V turret. Could maybe see people actually pen it aside from the Charmond.
Speaking of the mark tank, during the Russian civil war the red army captured a damaged male mark tank, and replaced its damaged turret with a machine gun, making one side of the tank female
Uh…does that mean, uh…
It got already increased to 4.0s from 3.0s. The pen should be the same for both with 40mm or does the german mark 4 have different guns compared to the mark 5? The point i was trying to make is that it has 2 guns and theoretically has 3s per gun so 1.5 second per shot but that is not possible due to the wonky sight changes
