Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I don’t see how that prevents it from being added
It is no different from any other low BR bomber, having advantatges and disadvantages


Like the B-18 being a large and slow aircraft with a massive bomb load

Or the Do 17 having a high speed but a weak bomb load


Even the TB-3M being very large (too large even for the hangar) and slow but having exceptional defensive armaments and an amazing bomb load

You are aware that the second half of that is more or less a vehicle already in game:

Well here’s just a quick look at what WW1 aircraft could look like in the British TT as 0.0-0.7 BR.

Spoiler

It says rank 1 because you can’t do rank 0.

Based on the idea of putting them at the very start of the TT before the current reserve vehicles being BR 0.0-0.7 but it could easily be a separate tab within the nation similar to how Naval is split between Bluewater and Coastal.

Just put some premiums of some aces/notable pilots as we have some aces/notable pilots as premium aircraft already. (Also as a monetary option for Gaijin as no TT is complete without a way for them to make money)

The biggest issue with a WW1 tech tree is that it makes no sense from a financial standpoint
Not enough players will spend money on them to warrant paying hundreds of thousands for 3D models for an entire TT of these aircraft

First thing I thought of when I heard the WW1 tanks were going to be in main game haha

They are about equal to the premium players.

Mainly because 60-70% of the time the people who bring low tiers to high tier seem to be playing with their monitor turned off.

I’m not only aware of that, I’m also of the opinion that the F-117 should be banned from being used in ARB.

I really wanted to play my SdKfz234/1 but since it’s been moved to 2.0 from 1.3 the full downtiers are quite rare

B-but it would be an nice reward for everyone who took part in the Event :)
Like, we have Po-2 and TB-3M :(
So why cant we keep the Zeppelin just for Fun?

Could come at a later date.
The issue is that events and their rewards are planned long in advance so making a change like that while the event is ongoing is going to be difficult. Most likely it will come with the next mark of distinction air reward or have its own dedicated event

Difficult? Ehh…
Planned long ago? Sure, but that isnt our fault and we are the players, and as an wise man said once, the Customer is allways the King…

No, not really
Customers for the most part are unknowledgeable and will often ask for unreasonable things, many times things that they themselves will dislike eventually

The aircraft reward for the event is the H.P.12 Bomber.

The “Customer” has been asking for historical matchmaking for years
Do you know what would happen the same hour historical matchmaking was added? Half the playerbase would quit and start protesting how unbalanced it is

The Zeppelin is very unlikely to come in this event, as it has been essentially hard-denied aswell. There is no point in asking again and again

Could we see a re-run with this test for remembrance day, with other WW1 vehicles as rewards ?
That could be a way to add more WW1 tech

Everything is possible, it all depends on how busy the dev team is at the time as well as how much interest there is from the community.
