It’s intentional. WW1 was muddy and rainy. This is the way.

Thanks to Gaijin for doing their utmost to ruin this event for Arcade players with eyesight health issues.

can we get information on why console players get access to the planes most pc players want too?

Yeah, but they keep making it worse.
Everyone can keep the H.P.12, it’s one of the rewards flr the Entente. It’s the SPAD S.XIII, Fokker D.VII and the Zeppelin we want but can’t keep

oh ok, i never noticed.
Since the St Chamand was so hyperbuffed it makes no fun. Everyone just sitting back and is hiding / sniping. Op gun + op shell with double the pen everyone else has + buffed reload…jesus who decided this? Traversing the no mans land is impossible now, Chamond snipes you from 1000m away.

Exactly. Would like to see more weather effects in the future like fog, sandstorms, blizzards and thunderstorms with lightning.
Any chance we can get the Great War map into regular map rotation? With some tweaks it could be used for more tiers. I think it would be a fun map to play with other vehicles.

Im fairly confident I can go to a Home Depot or a Lowes and buy a lawnmover with more horsepower than what these planes have. They have no power. The fastest you can ever get them to go is the moment they spawn. After that, its all speed and power bleed. Which seems wild when some of them like the Spad XIII had 150-300 hp engines. Like sure, all know they’re not fighter jets but they shouldn’t be a hair away from stalling with every slight turn.

Really? It’s a near completely flat map with next to no cover besides a few buildings more modern stuff would just shoot through. That sounds like a spawn camping nightmare of an idea.

It’s also fairly heavy, especially if you forget to reduce their fuel%.
Just dry, no ammo nothing they’re ~600 kg.
That’s not a lot of power to weight, and the airframe is incredibly draggy so the specific excess power is even worse.
I’d live to keep the Zeppelin. Its the most unique unit in the history of WT. Gimmick factor 100%.

You are confusing two different aircraft :)
H(arri)P(otta)12 is an obtainable reward.
Triple Entente
Obtainable vehicles:
- Mark V — an Event Vehicle Medium tank for Great Britain at Rank I
- St-Chamond — an Event Vehicle Medium tank for France at Rank I
- Garford — an Event Vehicle Light tank for the USSR at Rank I
- H.P.12 — an Event Vehicle Bomber for Great Britain at Rank I
I dont know, man. In this, it doesn’t appear to want to fall out of the sky with every slight turn. And it could actually climb. Sure, it probably doesn’t have the guns and ammo on board but still.

That’s just how less powerful planes are. Even the reserve biplanes have 500+ HP on much more modern designs.
Of course a plane will if you then too sharply, because the engine power doesn’t carry it like every other plane in the game. You just need to fly them like an actual plane, and not a WWII era fighter.
Edit: mouse aim also isn’t very good for them, it can’t properly and effectively use the rudder.

Btw is there any official reason why we cant keep the other planes and the zeppelin? (Even limited to custom battles)
And can you atleast bring back the zeppelin for more events?
That’s why I suggested doing some tweaks to the map to make it more playable for other tiers. As you know Gaijin has been making adjustments to maps that have been in the game for years so why not make some adjustments to the Great War map to make it playable for other tiers? Most of the work is already done so I don’t think it would take the same amount of effort as it would be creating an entirely new map.
Quite honestly I prefer maps like Berlin and Advance to the Rhine because it provides a sense of realism that an actual battle is taking place. I’d actually like to see some of the current maps in the game get the same war torn treatment as the 2 maps I mentioned. Would like to see a war torn Sun City map, Cargo Port and a few others getting destroyed. Destroyed buildings, rubble, bomb craters, wreckage, that kind of stuff.
Again, a lot of the work is already done so I think it would be a little easier on the designers than creating a new map. This would also provide the opportunity for different play styles and a new experience for us.
Gaijin took the time and resources to create the vehicles, some of which we get to keep, and the time and resources to create the map, so why not adjust this map and put it in rotation?
The same stupid problem with Normandy map trenches.
Can you please fix the INSANE hit box and poor modelilig problems of your game???
Tbh, it looks legit that you got stuck. You can’t drive like this and expect to make it.

This issue is happening in Normandy map since year ago.
Same with the very very old issue with Abandoned Factory buildings hitbox doors…
