Well so many changes were made to the mode that I do not like it anymore. It was cool before all the buffs and side changes.
Triple Entente is better off on the original, south side. I do not like the north one. Vehicles are just comically fast now. I can go around 27 - 30 km/h in garford in deep mud in middle of the map, what a joke… St-Chamond doing 20 - 22 km/h, like why ? Wasn’t the tank supposed to go 12km/h ? Or the arcade buff is so drastic ? Idk, I haven’t played arcade in ages. Finally we had some “slower” paced combat which is now again made faster…
Luckily it is just a event, which was fun, now it is just another “meh” arcadey gamemode.
Its just stupid, its the most unarmored vehicle, a truck literally. Requires most ‘skill’ to kill. Everything else oneshots each other. Garford also very fast now, even in mud. Gajin…
Yes, I agree. Day#1 was the best. Felt like Great War. I also noticed the speed buff. Look how much Mark and Chamond did historically…its embarassing.
And Garford omg, now in hovermode, not affected by mud an terrain. You zoom around with 30km/h. And it looks just so wrong…these thin wheels and not sinking in wtf.
Yeah sadly all immersion is gone, it was a refreshing addition to the game, but the hype wore off after a few days, the 3 cap layout is extremely disappointing for an event set in WW1, they could’ve easily brought back Advance from a few years ago for a more immersive attack/defense game mode, instead we got GRB with NPCs that stand around and do nothing.
Maybe I missed it on day#1, but now there are also dirt roads through the no mans land, you can quickly traverse over to the enemy side and camp their lines from behind. Totally WW1-like^^ Driveble roads allowing Garfords to speed up where supposedly should be just impassable mud, impact craters, barbed wire and trenches.
no the garford is legit op because it’s:
1: much smaller so harder to hit (and hit’s don’t do anything since it’s peper thin)
2: much faster (as long as you’re driving it correctly)
3: is much tankier for no reason (it can’t be overpressured despite being thin enough to not trigger fuses) and is the only vehicle with an op he shell)
4: much stealthier thanks to it’s darker camo coupled with it’s very small size.
the only balancing factor is the terrible cross country performance and the poor penetration at range.
Agreed, I gave the Garford a try today and it’s easily the best 2nd vehicle of the event, it’s stealthy and its HE shell can 1 shot Chamonds and kill Mark V tanks with a good placed shot, good mobility, low silhouette, can lob shells behind cover and can flank on the edges of the map.
It didn’t take long and the WW1 event is like live server GRB. Light vehicles are the best. Use speed and and dirt roads to flank behind enemy lines and murder everyone from behind or from the side. I didn’t lost the Garland, despite I took two full main calibre hits. There’s not even a spawn warning circle, imho.
You laugh to all APHE shells, cause it does almost no damage. HE cant harm you as well. MGs also can’t pen :) While the three ‘tanks’ are not tanky at all …and slow…and have light colors…and have more reload time.
today i learnt the only weather europe had for a handful of years was rain, we all remember the Central Powers getting bogged down in the mudpits of Ukraine, right?
Yeah the Garford ruins the event for me, just like autocannon rats ruin the game. Why even add it in the first place ? It has no historical importance compared to the others.
Now you just get one shot not only by the A7V but also by a milk truck you can’t see
It kills the match. Weak armor is absolutely the best armor and that strange HE shell with that much pen kills everything with one shot, bar A7 frontally.
Vice verca I just got stuck in front of an enemy A7 tank and it took 5 point blank shots to kill my Garford. Its open top, so one HE should overpressure it, but it does usually nothing. APHE doesn’t fuse and you need to needle all crew seperately.
