Is there a chance that the armor of the Saint Chamond will be corrected before the event is over?

Honestly, the camouflage variant doesn’t really fit the bill. The whole point is wanting to play in different lineups. You can always just grab a custom skin from Thunder Live, anyway. What I really don’t get is Gaijin’s logic in adding identical tanks—differing only by their camouflage—to the same tech tree, especially when one of them is a premium vehicle. Wouldn’t it make more sense to handle it the other way around? For a single vehicle type used by one nation, the different camouflage patterns and premium status could simply be treated as unlockable skins. Conversely, the same tank model—but featuring the camouflage of different nations—could be placed in the respective tech trees for those nations. That would be much more interesting, as they would end up facing different opponents within different lineups. Two identical “clones” can play in completely different ways depending on which nation’s tree they’re in and what kind of lineup they’re part of…
Anyway, why not cast your vote in favor of it here:
Next event, Great Britain can get the Weaker Mark IV to be foldered with the Mark V. I would also love to see the Mark I in game!

This.
Those biplane fighters are kneecapped by instructor because it doesn’t utilize rudder more efficiently while turning.

Not sure on the exact specifics but to me they feel like they lack a lot of what engine power/thrust they should have along with having too much drag resulting in them losing all of their speed whenever they turn.

Let’s stay on topic, please take a closer look. We are currently discussing the Mark V specifically. The point is that in this event, you’ve given new players the chance to obtain all the vehicles at once—including two aircraft, the Fokker and the SPAD. By the way, I came here from the Russian/CIS forum because the moderation there is unreasonable. I tried to post this topic there, but it was rejected three times in a row without any explanation, even though I followed all the formatting rules.
To get to the heart of the matter: you’ve allowed new players to acquire all the vehicles immediately, while for veteran players—who already earned these vehicles in a previous event—you’ve only offered boosters (across the first 6 stages on both sides) and the two aircraft.
Many players—likely including some here—are unhappy with this approach. Why didn’t you give them the chance to get the aircraft right away as well?
For what it’s worth, I was the one who, a year ago on the Russian/CIS forum (back when it was managed by Pixel Storm), started a thread suggesting that aircraft be included in the WWI-themed event.
Here is the link for proof:
Furthermore, you haven’t provided any compensation to veteran players. It’s essentially: “Since you already earned these tanks last year, that’s your problem—here are some boosters as a consolation prize.”
I’ve offered a suggestion above on how this should have been handled. You could have made the Mark V available for the USSR, France, and even the USA. Meanwhile, for Great Britain, you could have offered the Mark IV, but equipped specifically with British weaponry. Because, yet again, you are assigning a tank from its country of origin to one of the countries that operated it, while bypassing the country of origin itself.
Specifically, here is my proposal regarding what should be added:
-
The Mark V (equipped with Soviet machine guns—since it is not specified whether the original British machine guns were removed) for the USSR, in one of the specific variants (I have listed the variants, including their individual names).
-
A French-operated Mark V for the French tech tree (the thread even includes a photograph of one such tank, complete with its serial number, with a French officer posing in front of it).
-
An export-model Mark V for the USA. I have included a photograph, dated to the post-war year of 1921, which clearly shows American military personnel examining a Mark V at an American military base.
-
And, at the request of participants who have already voted in the poll, I have added the Mark IV to the list of proposed vehicles—specifically the purely British version, equipped with a British gun rather than a German one. After all, the Mark IV currently in the German tech tree is, in fact, a British tank

I sure do love beute garfords and how they definitely don’t completely ruin literally every game

They should lose their inaccurate engine buff for this event. The Garford is the most annoying vehicle in this event by far!

If we are talking about North America tank usage in ww1 we can’t forget canada also used the brittish and french tanks alongside. during late war. I’m not sure if they used it them selfs. everytime I reserech it it alsways say “Canada did not make any tanks” which was not what I sereched up. I serech up if they used tanks period. but I am prettisure we did. I can’t remember from where though.
To be fair, they’re the only fighting chance that the Entente really has. The Mark V and St.Chamond are massively outclassed by the A7V.
that is becasue in the event they are artifichally buffed like in arcade battle
I see the mistake; my apologies. Yes, you are correct.
However, regarding the specific proposal I posted above:
I am suggesting the introduction of the Mark V—equipped with British weaponry—into the USSR, France, and USA tech trees. This would serve as an alternative set of rewards (replacing the 12-stage structure—6 for the Entente and 6 for Germany, which included boosters) for players who, last year, had already earned all the available rewards—except for the aircraft (which, quite understandably, were not part of that previous WWI-themed event). Furthermore, last year on the Russian-language forum, I started a thread proposing the addition of the Fokker and the SPAD to the German and French tech trees, respectively. In that same discussion, I also mentioned that the Fokker could potentially be added to the French tree—specifically within a Benelux sub-tree, representing the Netherlands.

the imperial side just shouldn’t have it to begin with. Not that they didn’t capture any, but having to deal with garfords and A7Vs on the same team is genuinely ridiculous. Woe is me for liking the Mark V and having by far the worst tank in the event (except for the captured Mark IV)
There is a photograph confirming that the United States possessed a Mark V tank; information about this can even be found online. According to the available data, the photo dates back to 1921—that is, apparently, after the war had already ended. It was most likely purchased from Britain, much like how Britain sold Mark V tanks to the White Guards of Tsarist Russia and the Red Army of the Soviet Union during the revolution of 1917–1920—using the gold and currency reserves of the Russian Empire—at a time when Entente forces were intervening in Russian territory during the 1917 revolution.
There is also a photograph of a French-operated Mark V, with a French officer posing in front of it; online sources indicate that the French made active use of Mark V tanks during the final stages of the war. This particular French Mark V bears a serial number 10012
Welp, seems like my fun is over, BattlEye crashes my entire pc when I start up WT. Keeps happening very often since the update release.
I’m not saying that it isn’t. I’m saying there should be one for canada subcuntry as well
canada was brought in from the very beginning due to ties to the king. it stands to reasion that we used it in some copacity
You could introduce any one of these tanks—your choice—into the game as a Soviet unit. Each vehicle has its own specific name, along with details on where it saw action, which fronts it served on, and under whose command—some were part of the Red Army (the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army of the USSR), while others served with the White Army of Tsarist-era Russia (for instance, within Wrangel’s army).
Mark V “Krasnoarmeyets” (Red Army Man)
Mark V “Za Rus Svyatuyu” (For Holy Rus), captured during the fighting for Kakhovka in 1920
Mark V “Bely Soldat” (White Soldier) of the White Guard’s North-Western Corps army
Mark V “General Drozdovsky” of the White Army’s Caucasian Army
Mark V in the Armed Forces of South Russia (AFSR), 1920; named “For a United Russia”
Mark V of Wrangel’s Russian Army (1919-1920). A Red Army (RKKA) trophy from 1920, captured at the Kakhovka bridgehead.
A Mark V tank featuring early Red Army identification markings (a star with a plow and hammer), undergoing repairs at the Izhora Plant (under the jurisdiction of the Naval Department).
is this about the civil war of the red and white armyes after ww1? I don’t understand why it would be Captured and Russion at the same time otherwise
Yes, during the Civil War. Most Mark V tanks were initially in the possession of the White Guard, as many White units fought against the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army (the Red Army) with the support of Entente forces—specifically the interventionist troops that landed in various regions during the revolution: in the Far East (notably Japan, which was part of the Entente during World War I), in the West (British and French forces), and in the south (involving Poland, Romania, and Turkey). Poland, for instance, fought against us; it is also known that Romania acquired one Garford armored car. A couple of Garfords ended up in Latvia—one of which was even photographed by the Germans in 1941, during the occupation of Riga! The majority of the British tanks were originally supplied to the White forces; the British contingent sold weaponry and equipment to the White Guards—often in exchange for gold. The White forces—including the legendary Kolchak—had managed to secure and transport a significant portion of the Tsarist Russian gold reserve.

So, why did Gaijin nerf the already bad “reward” tanks compared to the event tanks?
For the example I’m using the A7V but this applies to all “reward” vehicles.
Event RB
Non event/reward RB
AB
Even in AB the A7V is worse than the event RB A7V.
All I ask if for all the vehicles have the same stats as the event vehicles.
