Played it day 2. Entente side went 0-10 as I ground out the days task.
When were the changes you refer to made?
I understand that your disappointment about the way A7V has been treated
And now this game mode is nothing but a campfest with indirect fire from Gaford Arty Truck
But really, day 1 A7V was nothing but insane.
If Kaiser had this amount of A7V, at that condition.
As a joke, then they might even capture London and win WW1. :/
lol what
you were saying a7 isnt as good? (tanked multiple hits, one shot like 4 french tanks and arty car)

Look at the other team, it appears braindead ^^
120g APHE usually one-tapping every st-chamond they face.
Bertepanzer Mk.IV also uses the same gun, but it is difficult to use thanks to the furbar status of the multi-turret system of WT nowadays.
while 16g APHE from Mark V takes forever to kill A7V unless the shell hits and explodes ammo-rack.
Every win of Entente seems carried by good Gaford drivers who can flank and spam HE on A7V’s side armor to me.

Not even the side armor but the armor of the commander and driver’s bridge
So, I think
A7V maybe isn’t as strong as day 1
Good players can counter them.
But it still has a significant advantage over both Chamond and Mk. V
Even with some buff on entente tanks in both historical and arcady ahistorical side.
So they will steamroll the match, and Entente will always lose unless good Gaford players overpressure them.
And both sides can use almost the same Gaford. Then, Good Gaford players will enjoy playing on the German side too.
I think Entente’s day 6 plan will be
- slam 599GE for buy title
- or press E twice and rush to quick death for points which can be earned by death, and repeat till it reaches 5k.

I really struggle with the garford, the only time I can kill an A7v quickly is by hitting the grate on its roof and waiting for all 18 crew to perish, usually takes 3 - 4 minutes because it only rarely actually pens

Despite its antiquity its still relatively effective
I didnt lose a single game in A7V yet.

Until you realise pitching down makes the elevators go up and pitching up makes them go down. Then you despise it.
its a relatively common bug for new/untested vehicles, im suprised how such a simple and obvious bug can make it onto the live
it’s been upsetting me greatly, along with the empty bomb racks, and the fact you can drop bombs upside down through the canvas roof.
I think with the chamond is an ok counter right now the A7v just has a horde of crew
The gun is good enough to counter. I agree.
But just crew placement and number difference between A7V and Chamond is insane.
(for balancing side)
AFAIK, Chamond can’t survive from the first hit from any shell fired from Germans unless it hits the weirdest place :|
Either Russian-built 76mm HE or 120g 57mm APHE is lethal :/
While A7V can tank few shots with insane number of crew

According to wiki they might have been built up after the war -
Two vehicles closely resembling the A7V, one of which was named Hedi , were among several used by Kokampf , a Freikorps tank unit, to quell civil unrest in Berlin in 1919. They were constructed using the chassis from Überlandwagen and armed with four MG08/15 machine guns. It is not known whether the vehicles were armour-plated.[11]
The Überlandwagen was a supply wagon built on the same chassis as the A7V - Überlandwagen - Wikipedia

. >Mfw Gaijin can’t even give us the courtesy of giving the AB vehicles the same stats as the event vehicles.
I’d see the RB getting the current stats, but AB?
I see a lot of people saying that the Garfield meta is great since “good players can flank”. Other people praise the old stage of the mode saying that “it really feels like WW1”.
Sometimes, those people are the same, and that’s really weird …

Maybe for balancing the side, Garfield meta is better than the old stage because everybody just throws the same 76mm HE. :/
Since both Chamond and Mark. V can’t stop A7V effectively.
(It can’t be a solution, but just a stopgap. because Entente tanks are weaker than A7V even when resisting against 76mm HE thanks to armor. Chamond even can get penned frontal from it.)
But the earlier stage’s vibe was better to enjoy
(You must’ve needed to play krauts at that moment, not ententes because their tank were even worse in the early stage.)
Chamond is perfectly capable of OHK-ing my A7V’s!
