Why? A game that makes a point of frustrating the player with a nuclear sun for whatever reason despite players complaining about and how unfair it is that one side gets blinded in a match, which has been an issue for years now… does dumb stuff like this at the same time.

I agree on the nuclear sun but were you blinded even though no sun was visible ?
It could definitely be, but then, why even pick the Zeppelins at all?
They’re expensive to spawn, a pain to actually get on target, they can be relatively easily shot down by ground vehicles AND they get this “debuff” as well?
Idk if it is an arcadey balancing solution like the higher top speed for the tanks is, but if it is, it’s probably backfiring imo
No, I couldn’t see anything, but why is there sunlight without a sun

Welp, my Garford-Beute got ammoracked by a French AI machine gun nest, a single bullet to an machine gun sponson - which didn’t even register in the post-battle shot analysis. The weirdest thing that’s happened to me so far in the event.
Before that I got to experience the pitch black sunset in Flanders when playing as the Entente, and oh my lord it was horrible, the visibility going ti absolute crap. Unsurprisingly the Germans won, since they were able to move up much easier, with our St-Chamonds having far harder time with making their shots. Not a big fan of the even worse weather conditions.
The balance patching has improved things, making the Garford an actually useful vehicle, and Entente actually can have a fighting chance now. However, the extra dirt roads should definitely go, to restrict the Garfords a bit more. I’m a bit saddened though by how badly the historical star, the Mk V/IV tanks are left on the sidelines in all this, even after their traction was fixed. They just don’t have much of a chance in the battle, especially the British one, since the mode has become largely a firing range across the no man’s land.
Also, I really hope the event vehicles get to keep their boosted mobility characteristics at least for AB, to help make them a bit more viable at least.

Pretty sure you won’t want to be playing them in AB - you do NOT want people knowing exactly where you are before you spring an ambush or 2!!
And of course you start with 0 mods…
Well, I don’t normally play RB to begin with, so there’s that. While ambushes are harder to pull off, the guns really need the aiming help to better deal with many of the early tanks, except the St-Chamond. The less than 10 km/h top speeds on the Mk tanks, and even the 20 km/h on Garford are just so bad.
Pls devs, fix the damn suspension of the Chamond. It makes it even harder to use and it’s ugly if you just want to drive it around
What is it about the suspension that you think needs fixing?
I managed to drive through the flanks with the Garford and make it to the spawns, there is no spawn camping protection or warning, this needs fixing ASAP, people are already abusing this.

They need to remove the dirt roads through the no man’s land. A wheeled truck like this is just not supposed to cross the front lines. WW1 Western Front was mostly static for a reason. Nothing could just drive though this hell with 30km/h.

Played the Garchomp-Beute on AB. Got 8 kills. They can do pretty well since all you’re facing are reserve tiers.
lol what? What “strange” HE gun is the biggest on the battlefield, and also doesn’t 1 tap most things unless you bring full ammo.
What’s even stranger is your argument, as both sides have the vehicle.
If we are talking balance, the A7V needs to get hit by a truck, the German side must have a 90% wr by now.

I don’t think a single match I played today was won by germany, lok
gotta ask: why are you so obsessed on winning? It gives nothing toward event prizes…

You must be either lying or throwing.
Lol 1 look at the queue and you can tell where the stomping is going.

Your point is also fair, we don’t need to be concerned about victory too much about this event.
but too much broken balance is annoying not just for winning but even affecting the grind for the event.
For example, Day 1 was annoying shitstorm because entente can do basically nothing.
And losing streaks are boring and annoying. Innit?

Not lying or throwing either, first four matches i did were entente all victory finished the task
Then i had 5 or 6 games in Germany to finish the task, lost all of them, although i was in the top 5 and the only reason we lost was capture points
After that i played a few more matches but i either didn’t finish them or wasn’t paying attention
Show your screenshots or stop lying.
