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

I think it would be better if the now available Fokker and Spad were available from the start, AKA the normal vehicle crates.

People who already have all the tanks already sunk themselves fully last year, I think that maybe that deserves the tiny bonus of at least be able to take the new planes out in little time.

God, that’s right. In my first comment I forgot about that. Consistently getting 8-12 minute MM times because the A7V was so much better than every other vehicle, causing everyone to queue for the Central Powers.

It means it would be by far the worst ww1 vehicle and completely unusable outside the event. Zero significant armor, zero survivability, can’t pen the A7V, which has rear armor of 15mm. Can’t pen a mere Pz.II. I understand that people just want vehicles because they like them, but Gaijin isn’t going to use resources to develop an original model for a vehicle with zero gameplay value in any gamemode

Well that’s why I personally think we need a 0.0-0.7 br bracket for WW1 vehicles. Maybe even negative BRs. Can it pen the A7V? No. However it can still distract it for its team or tell its team where the A7V is.

Add the fact it doesn’t have APCR, so it would perform even worse than the FCM.36 one since it drops down to 410 m/s, at least it could fire explosive rounds I suppose.

The only way it would be decent would be non-historical apcr or experimental apds, which the FCM.36 and friends could theoretically get

we did the work last year even if the mode was far from perfect and sometimes very miserable, purely for the vehicles.

this is just nasty + what will you do if you plan to make this a yearly event? everytime you add a new vehicle we need to complete more and more stars for each one? At one point do we end with 27 stars for 2 new planes? it doesn’t even start to make sense in terms of money because no one will pay for SEVEN STARS for a vehicle meant to be driven around like a curiosity! I mean you can’t even do events with these!

Exactly. It cannot be that hard to make it so we just get the planes if we already have all the other vehicles instead of garbage boosters.

@Smin1080p_WT Earlier you mentioned that the Zeppelin has a larger footprint than most aircraft. Does that pertain to how it is displayed in the hanagr? If so, why not tie it off to a buoy in the naval hangar area? We are talking about an airship after all :P

Still one sided towards the Germans so they always win?

St. Chamond will once again be the only one who stands a chance lol. And even then it is a fat spg with horrible gun angles vs an undying death box that can just point and click with an 80 degree frontal gun arc

Edit: and they get 2/3 the allied vehicles anyway

garford can also prove itself a menace, because you can blend in with the artillery cannons and retreat the second someone spots you, a fast reload and it can retreat very easily. You can also arc shots in rare cases and A7V has a nice flat forehead to land rounds on

When I played the first time, I found that the A7V forehead shot would only take out a few crew ;m;

Maybe I just can’t aim idk. But as a st. Chamond stan, I would just only play it

oh no no, you can’t one shot it, you just stunlock it really badly, it takes like 3 shots, but you reload super fast anyways and the A7V is a casemate. so it can’t kill you unless he already aimed at you

You’ll be even happier then if gaijin fixes the armor of the Saint Chamond. As i made a report about it, to put it simply, the frontal armor should have better angles and should be double layered.

I’m Saint Chamond stan too

sigh event on weekdays. Probably only going to be able to get 2 stages (1 vehicle) gaijin why couldn’t you make this a weekend event so everyone can grind the new things? I didn’t get a chance to play it when it first came around because it wouldn’t let me join, but im grateful i can take part this time, but it would really be nice if us players who have things to do on weekdays could have a fair chance to get the vehicles.

Don’t worry it’s only 5.000 points! Not the usual 35.000 points

Thank god the tasks are only 5,000 points each. I might just grind out the first two tasks for both sides and GE the rest.
