At the moment, no. They will have their current skins.
Hopefully it won’t be the only opportunity to see WW1 tanks and planes made available. Making this event recurring each year with new rewards either taken from AoT (the planes) and 1 or 2 new tanks each time is a goldmine and a massive W.

Yeah the issue is we have to grind 7 tasks for them. If it will be anything like the last one waiting for a axis match will be pain. Why not just add the new vehicles into the crates so you could get them at any stage?? Getting a booster is worthless. I would almost prefer just getting 100k SL instead of the vehicles I already have

Please please please reconsider adding the Zeppelin as a reward (if not now, in the future); it is indeed an extremely unusual vehicle and it might be frankly quite bad, but it would definitely be fun to goof around in.
Besides, it’s already modeled and usable, so implementing it would be essentially free.
Pretty please?

Nobody’s time is being “wasted”. The event is back as per requests and demand from the community as an additional extra event.

At the moment, as mentioned, we dont have plans for the Zeplin to be obtainable outside of the event. As explained already, it has a far more significant balancing effect and footprint than any of the aircraft do.

It would be nice if you didn’t have to play both sides, but I fear people would flat out refuse to play the Entente side, if there was no reward for playing them

I wish they would put the new rewards first so players who did that event previously wouldn’t have to go through all stages again.
Or make the rewards in the crates worth the effort, for example only feature either a day of premium or camouflages.
Hell even some “item” that would allow players who already did the event to unlock the stages in random battles would be welcome.
I love collecting vehicles, but there is no way I’m going to grind the whole thing once again - once the novelty of WW1 wore off, it was a pretty mid event back then and felt like a chore. Hard pass for me.

I do hope this gets reconsidered in the future, the LZ-30 (and other airships) would make for great collector vehicles.

Well yeah the a7v is just so much stornger than the other tanks it’s not even funny.

I remember the only way to kill them with Garford was to throw an HE at the driver/commander compartment, 9 times
St. Chamond was the only one who could actually take them out it 1 shot reliably

welcome back
Exactly.
I know, that’s why we’re asking you to reconsider that.
I understand that balancing a big, slow and very flammable target with a ludicrous amount of ordnance and shockingly good climb rate would be quite difficult, but hey, as I said, nobody cares if it’s bad.
It’s an hydrogen balloon, of course it’s gonna be delicate.
For the footprint, what do you mean? It’s too big to fit in the airplane hangar? It’d be hard to spawn without having other planes clipping into it?

Can’t wait for my air rb game to last the full 25 minutes possible because some balloon space climbed to 8000m where the poor biplanes can’t reach

Its max altitude was 3900m, above that the gas bags may pop due to excessive expansion.
Imo 3900m is reachable by most br 1 fighters, so you get a head start but they WILL get to you eventually.
There’s no issue with that. Infact we need more event re runs with the same or similar rewards. It’s not like any of the Great War vehicles are particularly good either.
Anyone should be able to get an event vehicle, and they shouldn’t lose out on some things permanently because they weren’t even playing the game at the time.
I’d personally love if I was able to get the 1954 EBR, but I started playing too late to get it. I now have several thousand hours and a reward I want is still unobtainable, which doesn’t seem that fair.

Two out of three E.B.R.s being unobtainable is criminal
All AGS programme vehicles being unobtainable except for the British VFM5 being is equally tragic
There are so many unobtainable vehicles that should have been TT vehicles, it’s not even funny

Out of curiosity, what aspects are taken into account for trying to balance the Zeppelin outside of the event? Is it the sheer size, damage model, what it can dish out in terms of ordnance/defensive capabilities? Is it due to the fact that we don’t really have any platforms for dealing with Zeppelins down at Reserve/Tier I?
Like, I can see it being a nightmare to deal with an enemy/friendly team that is nearly half or entirely composed of Zeppelin in a regular match, could limiting the number to one or two Zeppelins per side/per match help? I believe there’s a similar limiter for bombers in regular matches if I’m not mistaken.
will this be installed alongside the major update?
