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

Wait, so people who completed first event are need to do the whole thing again? Just to get 2 new planes?
So, the most effecient way of getting all ww1 vehicles was to skip first event and only do a rerun?
I wonder if there will be third rerun with zeppelin and Reno FT as new rewards. Which will also required to be completed in 14 stages.
Shame on you.

With a 40mm cannon. But it misses WW1 by 1 year (1919)

On aircraft tho you have the Ilya Muromets, Anatra D Anade, Anatra DS Anasal, Grigorovich M-5 and Grigorovich M-9 (I skipped copy paste here)

FCM.36 also uses APCR, which FT-17 didn’t use, in reality it use explosive rounds and plain AP rounds, slower muzzle velocity on both ( 388m/s on the AP round) which would mean even less pen.

FT-17 will only be able to “flank” and retreat into cover fast since it can already face towards it’s escape route with it’s 360* turret.

So better be wary of any 37mm cannons of this era at least.

Will it be shit? Yes. Do I still want it? Yes.

One craves the “hit!”, it’s also the FT-17, probably one of the most influential tanks ever made.

And the entire point of this event is addition of the otherwise impossible to balance WW1 vehicles.

I think this alone makes it deserve a spot in WT. it is literally one of the most influential tanks of all time. It is absolutely crazy to not add it to the TANK game when we’re finally adding WW1 tanks.

Hey, as long as I can show my teammates where the enemies are or distract the enemies, I’m not useless. I can also take out Barrels and tracks. Would love to see the Command variant of the Panzer III adding to the game one day with scouting!

make it the 0 SP spawn tank in the event, cannon fodder simulator.

i assume this is like the BV238 where the convergence is set at a certain range and so if they arent within like 500m youll just miss them?

That is correct, but the effect is even worse since it is multiplied by the distance between positions to the camera.

oh god

For 7 Stages: the SPAD S.XIII fighter plane

For 7 Stages: the Fokker D.VII fighter plane

So, for having ground it the first time around we’re punished with more grind? Nice!

Make sure we need all 8 stages per side to unlock the Zeppelin next time you re-run this event.

Ilya Muromets was epic in RoF

Even the copy paste ones for Russia can be unique like their Sopwith Triplane which featured skis instead of landing gear.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if they did that very same thing.

Do we have some history on the unlockable decals ? Specifically the “Yette” and “Excellent” decals.

Because, especially for the previous one, I’m not even sure there isn’t a typo and it’s supposed to be “Yvette” and not “Yette”.

Would be nice if choosing the german side didnt cause the zeplin to spawn in the hanger and lag the game when it insta-explodes.
