That’s what I thought too, but apparrently there are enough people asking for them to be added as permanent vehicles
I can’t see them being good, even in AAB, but at least they won’t just constantly lose altitude after turning there

Q: As I might or might not be a little adult juiced right now I might have missed it but
For 1 Stage: Random Triple Entente vehicle from the list
If I have all the other vehicles already, does it auto give me the french plane?

No. You have to get all the stages.
Cheers, well, a nope event for me then I guess due to IRL stuff. But hope others enjoy.
Kind of annoying I cant just get the addon vehicle.
Unfortunately I just don’t see the FT-17 happening, we already have its gun, the 37mm SA18, in-game on the FCM.36 and it just struggles to do any real damage. I could see them using the FT 75 instead which mounted a 75mm howitzer.

Imagine trying to take out 18 crew A7V with crap APCR…

Was APCR even a thing in WW1? I’m pretty sure it would use a different round. Probably an APHE round.
It’s so bad that they replaced it with a better reserve vehicle lol
The issue last time is that they barely bothered with their flight models so they performed very poorly. IRL they flew much better, this can also be seen if you try them out in Aces of Thunder where they can actually climb and dogfight without dropping out of the sky.

Oh I want WW I planes, very badly, don’t get me wrong, but I also want them
in a “flyable” state so we can use them properly(in a game) instead of just
wishing we could.
What we had before . . . yeah, that was not what people are wanting I am sure.
Slowler is fine, having to get much closer to shoot each other is also fine.
But they were so slow and janky before . . . just nothing there to enjoy.

Whatever ammo it used prior to APCR would have had even less pen than the sorry excuse of a shell that the APCR has
Well, I would like to see the round and its stats. I think the FT-17 would be a cool and interesting addition. I don’t really care if it’s good or not. I love my WW1 tanks. Apparently it used the obus de rupture Mle 1892 for AP and it also got HE shells. I might do more research on it.

It can be seen the flight performance of the fighters in Aces of Thunder is far better than what we saw during the event last year.
(Note I don’t have a good clip on hand for the SPAD S.XIII but in AoT it is a menace especially at energy trapping opponents.)

If what Google just told me is true, that round has 12mm pen at 400m LMFAO
I mean what’s the most armor on the side of the other WW1 tanks? I know the Mark IV has around 12 mm or something like that. It’ll probably be something that you have to flank with and get up close with.
Omg this is actually so good! I was hoping that the Great war event would make a comeback! I’m so happy that it actually happened! A rare War Thunder W moment, and… since the event is making a come back, it would be a great opportunity to fix the armor of the Saint Chamond! Because the armor on my beloved Saint Chamond is inaccurate. Basically, the frontal armor should be double layered and it’s at the incorrect angles.
And since i’ve made an issue report on it, and it was accepted since the last time the event happened, now it would be a great opportunity to adjust the Saint Chamond so it performs a bit better!
I’ve replied to the wrong post before I’m sorry, i’ll delete the other comment!
Please fix the armor of the Saint Chamond, i’ve dedicated so much time making that Issue report, to prove that the armor is weaker than it should! Now we can have it fixed, so please fix it!

We could see the FT-17 one day in some capacity, there was the FT 75 BS, an SPG with a shortbarreled 75.
Naturally though I too would like to see the FT-17 one day, even if spading it would be a slog (I mean spading the OG Great War vehicles wasn’t a cake walk either but it was still fun.)

You can use it in the event, if you desperately want to get shot down by WW1 tanks
