  • duplicates are not a mistake, we’ll be able to keep some of them after April Fools!

Genuinely great. Absolutely thrilled about that. But I hope it’s not only tanks we will get to keep, would love to get some of the planes too.

The planes will be the most fun anyway in normal WT. unless they make a -1.3 BR, the ww1 tanks will be absolute sufferbus in wt.

The question is if the zeppelin is a zeppelin or a normal plane build by the zeppelin company like this Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI - Wikipedia

Hi @Smin1080p_WT
I had a question concerning the mechanic of planes having both an internal camera and a TGP.
As of now, when equipping the TGP, you loose the ability to see through the onboard optic and those loose all the vertical coverage to lock on planes for exemple.

As answered in this report, it’s an intended mechanic, which I believe was added after the Harrier Gr7 having lots of bugs when both were available.

But now that the PiP was improved with the addition of the drone camera on the minimap, are there any intentions for the devs to try and add that mechanic back ?
For now, it’s not game breaking in the slightest, but for exemple, the rafale should be able to aim and fire all type of missiles passively at an airplane (IR missiles but also Fox 3 thanks to the IRST+rangefinder combo), while tracking ground target to deliver ground ordinance, and it’s not possible as of now

Pretty sure we only will be able to keep the ones that are listed multiple times,of which all are tanks, not planes

Edit: the H.P. 12 seems to be in the actual TT too, so maybe there is one plane that stays

Not for the foreseeable future as it created some technical issues. However it’s not ruled out entirely.

I can play Battlefield 1 all over again LETS GOOOOOOO

So, while it’s marked as Not a Bug, it’s it actually more of a suggestion until the technical issue can be fixed ?

Yes yes holy yes haha

The British tank could be fine, if it gets the proper gun. Not sure about the A7V tho lol

While the fighters are not obtainable in this event, in the future you’ll be able to try them in our VR game, Aces of Thunder!

Please let this change. The SPAD S.XIII and the Fokker D.VII would be great to keep aswell.

I mean the H.P.12 is cool and all but the fighters would be great to keep too.

Oh no it’s a zeppelin and not the bomber. The bomber would have been quite good with 2tons of bombs

A Pz. II, M2 LT or BT-5 is still going to run circles around it while none of the ww1 tanks can do anything about it.

Pilots can obtain the H.P.12:

The fighters will be available in Aces of Thunder.

So all the ww1 tanks are also event rewards that you can earn and keep?

pretty cool ngl.

This event features a special difficulty mode where the mobility of the tanks has been improved relative to their real characteristics. The tanks that can be obtained in this event will have their historical speed and maneuverability when using them in regular Ground Realistic Battles.

It’s almost like WW1 vehicles would be too sluggish for most players lol
