I don’t know i’m really confused
@Stona_WT sorry for the ping but how could someone get to keep the SPAD? Was it a bug?

Wait it’s actually there in the server replay
Here’s the replay link
https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/324825357237547819
That player actually has the SPAD.
It’s even in their service record
For some reason it’s in the British tree but has the French flag.
@Stona_WT @Smin1080p_WT What’s actually going on? Why can some players keep the aircraft but not others? Now that some players have actually got to keep this now everyone should.

Content creator perhaps?
why cant we keep it? is it not included in the chest?
The two fighters are an Aces of Thunder exclusive
I’m 90% sure that’s because all the vehicles for the event are part of the UK files(the ones you keep are part of their host trees). As the lang mod I use(the guides for them are on the wiki, so it should be safe) has yet to update, so I see new names as code, and all the ones in the event, so “UK_(vehicle it is)” for the allies.
I’m leaning toward this more likely being a hack, but it could be an error.
No, we have been told that the fighters can’t be kept becaue “We will get the opportunity to play them in Aces of Thunder”. No actual reason has been given for the Zeppelin though.
But hey, we can atleast keep the bomber. But it seems like some players can keep more than others.

Yeah, the Zeppelin has probably not been considered as a reward because it would’ve been very unconventional, to say the least, but the model is there, the vehicle is functional, and it’d be a waste to just remove it.
Considering how many people have expressed interest in getting one, there’s some hope that we will get it one day.

The Zeppelin as much as I want it it’s understandable the two fighters aren’t
spoiler : that change nothing.
I think it’s WalvisYT.
Looking at his replays he is using it quite a few times in ARB matches outside of the event.
I think they were added to publicize the other game they mentioned, and, to be honest, they’d be probably useless even at 1.0 (even more so than the tanks) due to how painfully slow and underpowered they are, but I understand your sentiment. Maybe we’ll get them too someday.
Did anybody notice after playing the same map and even the same vehicles over and over , how much this game is down to pure luck? Just seem to be awarded kills in one game while every shot just bounces off in the next. Real lottery, made me question War Thunder overall in terms of my own skill and whether skill is even what gets you a good game or whether its just the algorithm kicking in and out.

Yeah but aces of thunder is just such a different game
Hello
This was a bug, it has been resolved now.
The only aircraft obtainable from the event is the H.P.12.

I wonder if the balance issues can be attributed to optics and rangefinding.
Namely, you can get precise on the dot range measurements up to 800 meters within ~3-5 seconds in a world war 1 tank with terrible optics and land precise shells on that dot.
This opens up spawn to spawn sniping.
Also commander’s bino gives very good magnification.
From my understanding, early-WW2 british tanks during france struggled with 200-300 yard shots and these WW1 tanks land 800 yard ones with ease.

Is this an April fools event with an element of testing for possible full time inclusion? If it is then a few bugs is understandable.

I agree, but for now, it looks like they’ve made up their mind about not expanding this event anyway.
Perhaps we’ll get them in the future in a similar setting. Hopefully.
