War Thunder: The Great War!

Was probably 60/40 on the axis side to complete a task today.

Then switching to FR-UK for other task, had to grind it and my teams went 0-10.

One side of map definitely has an advantage.

Average snail reasoning. Meanwhile, in vehicles, the crews still get nuked by tiny HE rounds in open tops.

No I mean ppl who are asking for ww1 to be added officially to the game’s progression

It’s RB - Just go into cockpit view and you’re there, basically.

the WWI aircraft didn’t have trim in the sense that you’re thinking of. The SE5 and SE5a had a “trim wheel” on the left side of the cockpit that adjusted the angle of the whole tailplane to balance the forces and “trim” the aircraft.

Meanwhile Alcock and Brown flew the Vickers Vimy trans-atlantic with a piece of elastic to reduce control forces. No trim to be found.

Clippy says "Did you mean F-UK?

Joke aside, the truck is Russian. The Triple Entente is France, Great Britain, and Russia.

A 15lb round travelling at 4-500 m/s is a little more than a slap in the face.

Look up tanks in WW1 and you’ll find the germans using 77mm field artillery to destroy them - they may or may not have had proper AP at the time (wiki says there was an AT round but good luck finding any actual info on it) - soit is entirely possible they were using HE or shrapnel, or maybe those with no fuse so they became a solid shot.

They also used 37mm infantry guns and minenwerfer

eg Tank Killers on the Western Front - Warfare History Network - this says they had a steel tipped AP round, but again gives no details.

There is infantry in the mode. The objectives should have been built around supporting the infantry (the reason these tanks were made for in the first place), but Gaijin is a one-trick pony when it comes to objectives. It’s always team deathmatch.

Would be amazing to keep the Zeppelin. A BR 1.0 meme bomber to rival the Po-2!

Trash event. Points don’t even calculate correctly. Get 2500 points in the match, end up with only 400 for the event quest. Fix your junk Gaijin.

Hope Gaijin adds WW1 vehicles to techtree. Incredibly fun. Don’t listen to any whiners going on about how their grind would be extended to boring top-tier vehicles.

Do you know the music that plays in the event?

I like it this way.
Entante gives you all vehicles (including aircraft), but the german schoolbus, and thanks to overabnudance of german players Im doing this event superfast.

Is there an extra step? Because this sounds nothing like whats in game

Same, favorite team is Entante

For real

Tested the event again. Played 3 or 4 battles on german side. Oneshoted every oponent.

I just confirmed my predictions - playing entente is just frustrating, playing german is easy and fun experience

it confirms nothing since you apparently didn’t played the entente that got buffed.

Great, maybe it will shorten the queue times for me to play with much stronger germany
