The Great War Returns With New Obtainable Aircraft to Mark November 11th!

I voted yes on that a while ago. I love Ghost Maxis suggestions. He even helped me on my Sd.Kfz.251/9 Ausf. D early suggestion. Great guy.

Love how y’all just didn’t take any of the response from the first time y’all ran this and still leave the Zepplin spawn to get camped by tanks… So fun getting shot half a second after spawning. I swear none of the DEVs play test anything.

I thought this was common knowledge lol. And then because they put the spawn so low they think it’s not fit to be a reward 🤣 I mean seriously?!? You finally give us the planes, but not the Zeppelin?!? The coolest thing in the event!? Stupid stuff man.

Neither the Mark IVs or the Mark Vs were significantly armoured.
They were made to end trench warfare, not to fight other tanks.
They were made for infantry support, breaking fortifications and barbed wire, and crossing trenches.

There’s no gameplay to this mode. It’s just Garford spam and nothing else really works. Even the St Chamond does not reliably clear the armour of the Garford so it just sits in the back and kills everything.

We need more Monthly WW1 decals. Like the clown one from this Monthly Decals for March!
Also notice how this Mark V is plain? Why don’t we get that?!?

Huh. Well then it totally makes sense!

Why, the colorful scemes of WW1 techs are very superior

No, France can get the Renault FT17, USSR already has the Garford, we don’t need copy pasted vehicles.

And who said they were just “copy-pastes”? The names are different, aren’t they? They’re historical, right? So, what’s the problem? The USSR has the Garford—sure—but you seem to forget that Germany has one too.

What about the Mark V, which France also has? Germany has a captured Mark V as well—why aren’t you complaining about that? I wonder why. And are the German-captured Garfords and Mark Vs not “clones,” then? Or are they somehow “unique”? And how, exactly? Because the German Garford uses German machine guns? Well, who’s to say that the Soviet Mark Vs couldn’t have had their machine guns replaced with Soviet ones—just like the Garford? The Germans swapped in their own machine guns of the same caliber, didn’t they? Yes. So, what’s stopping the Soviets from installing machine guns of an equivalent caliber onto their British-made Mark Vs? Besides, there’s no definitive evidence that they didn’t do this—nothing to prove they kept the original British machine guns. I highly doubt the USSR—or the White Guard of Tsarist Russia, for that matter—had the means to keep those imported British machine guns supplied with enough ammunition. They had plenty of their own machine guns and the corresponding ammo, though…

Or is it a “different story” again? Is it okay for some—like Germany—to have “clones,” but not for others? Should I remind you that Germany only has one truly unique tank—the A7V—while the other two are essentially clones? That gives Germany a total of three WWI-era tanks… compared to just one unique tank each for the USSR, France, and Britain? Let me remind you—since you seem to have forgotten—that I have at least one photograph of a captured French Saint-Chamond tank; the Germans seized it from France during WWI, renamed it, and then used it in combat against the Entente. Or should I also mention the two captured A7V tanks—one British, one French—that the Allies seized from Germany during WWI, renamed (the British, for instance, reportedly named theirs “Heidi”), and subsequently used in battle against the German Empire? It seems you’ve overlooked these facts as well, haven’t you?

So, by what logic is it acceptable for Germany to possess two captured tanks (from Britain and the USSR)—bringing their total to three—while France, the USSR, and Britain are supposedly barred from holding tanks captured from Germany or purchased from Britain? And why, for that matter, couldn’t the United States have at least one WWI-era tank acquired through export?

I think they should delete the gaford from the german side I are just bullying chamonds,Mark V and gafords with It is literally what happend on the April fools of last year Germany bullying the triple Ent with gafords and A7V

‎There is almost no difference between them; at most, they might have different engines. Externally, the German tank model is identical to the British one. Besides, Britain has the Mark V, so it doesn’t really matter that Germany has the Mark IV.

Well the beutepanzer get way better APHE well Pen 3mm more but gets 120 grams of TNT instead of the garbage 16.5 of the Mark V

Yeah, i really dont care about the whole argument. Just wanted to fix your wrong designation.
Also it has a bit less armor. And its not a direct C&P since it recived German 57mm Maxim Nordenfeld with german ammo.

Well, actually, this is very strange. Why? Because they use the same gun. Either the Germans were using different shells for it—their own—or this is clearly a bug. The German Mark IV is a direct capture from the British; either the British used a different type of ammunition, or there’s an error here, given that the primary armament of the Mark V and the Mark IV is identical.

Germans changed the brittish canons to maxim canons soo they use german ammo

Ah, well, that’s fair enough then. It’s clear that Gaijin changed the names so that no one could claim they’re just clones. Still, it’s strange—why didn’t Britain get the Mark IV alongside the Mark V? You have to admit there’s a certain imbalance here; there’s no point in denying the obvious. A Mark IV in German service—even with a German gun—is still a captured vehicle, much like the Garford. Ultimately, Germany ended up with three tanks, compared to just one for everyone else. That’s why my proposal to address this discrepancy is perfectly valid. If Germany can have a Mark IV (with a German gun) while Britain has a Mark V, then there’s no reason why Britain couldn’t also have the Mark IV to go along with its Mark V. That’s point one. Point two: having the Mark V in the British tree actually makes it easier to introduce the same vehicle for the USSR, France, and the USA—which I mentioned earlier. This would create a much fairer balance: the USSR, France, and Britain would each have two tanks, compared to Germany’s three, and the USA would also get a WWI-era tank. I don’t see any reason why this shouldn’t be done. I’ll just need to edit my post slightly to include the Mark IV for Britain.

Anyway, here’s the questionnaire. I can tweak it a bit now and add the Mark IV for Britain.

Would’ve been such an simple solution to just give camouflages for players who already owned the vehicles…
