Chamond still gets one shot whilst having horrible firing angles and looking like the magic school bus with zero chance of not being spotted.
It really is telling that even in this perfectly confined match, with a single map and only 5 vehicles to balance, they still cannot do it.
No excuses about map rotation or the amount of vehicles involved, this is an event with handpicked vehicles, map, setting, spawn zones and they still cannot even come close to creating something remotely balanced.
That’s true, but players queue not so much for the winning side, but for the OP side (granted, all other things being equal OP = winning). A few years ago there was a Kursk event where the Germans got Tigers and all sorts of stuff with 88s, while Russians got T-34s and other Kursk-era vehicles; German team was 12 players and Russian was 16. In Ground Sim the Russians almost always won (provided the extra players provided airpower), but ‘everyone’ was queueing for the German side. It was good to play Russians - no queue and mostly wins; I liked it and I assume the German players did too, as they certainly queued for it.
The skewed win rate in this WW1 event is not really a problem in itself, as winning is largely irrelevant, but the reason for that skewed win rate - one OP vehicle - is a problem… a problem that would have been noted after the first test game - had there been one.
the strength. It’s leaning way too much.
YES, I know that i did lean a little irl but not that much, look at any photo or footage of it and you’ll see
That’s not how it’s supposed to be, the suspension is not supposed to make a V shape
Did the server hamster die? I kept teleporting for a few minutes and just got kicked from the match. It was very weird XD
Because they have their own german made ammo?

can’t believe it. Day 3 and the balance is even worse then before.
The A7V is a bit more vulnerable sure, but now you have to deal with dozens of Garfields that can one shot all Entente vehicles, are almost invisible and take 10 shells to die.
I’d rather get killed by an A7V, that was actually on the western front than by that thing that never saw a tank in its life.
If you REALLY need to have a russian vehicle because of bias then let it in the Entente but remove it for the germans, they already have enough OP vehicles
Worst event ever in this game. Not really difficult to imagine to what extent does Gaijin not care about War Thunder.
lmao I did that like 3/4 times, killing zeppelins with the armored truck is very easy
Did a little test with the suspension of the Chamond, and it does need a bit of fixing :
When at a full stop the suspension is ok and as it should be.
When simply driving straight forward the front collapses for no reason.
Stop again, and the suspension raises a little, but not back to “default”.
Shoot the machine gun, and it goes back up completely but i can’t explain why.
That’s a lot of pictures and the differences might not be obvious, it would look better in a video, but do the test for yourselves and you’ll notice that the difference is quite big in game
To be fair the Chamond literally can’t move at the speed it can in the event mode.
Well yes we all know, none of them can. They said they were buffed for the event … They have their real speed once you get them for random battles
I’m not sure who thought WWI was fun, but in reality it’s just REALLY boring!
So Gaijin probably didn’t model the suspension with that speed in mind, which causes it to be like that in the Great War mode
My tests were done in test drive, so at the real speed
I would’ve loved to see the FT-17 instead of the Garfield. I think its gun would’ve been practically useless against the A7V tho, since that thing is a bullet sponge.
Adding a weird ass truck instead of one of the most famous WW1 tanks is…meh…
I will do that, expect them around 3-4 i have shcook
the first guy had a Garford, starting to see the issue ?
I still didnt lose a single game as germans, I did win as entente 2 times today. However, only when we spawned on the bottom and team rushed A,B with garfords.
The balance has been worsened for the Entente again. The A7V remains a very potent vehicle so you need to use the only vehicle that can kill it, the Chamond.
But now the germans are also spamming the Garford which one shots instantly the Chamond while the Chamond can’t do anything to a Garford.
That’s a win-win for Germany
Same gun is already in game in France. They could just give it modern shells (mle. 1937 APCR)
