War Thunder: The Great War!

[ehj78]

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.

[WalletWarrior69]

lmao I did that like 3/4 times, killing zeppelins with the armored truck is very easy

[ehj78]

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.

[ehj78]

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

[SadLamer]

I’m not sure who thought WWI was fun, but in reality it’s just REALLY boring!

[jspene]

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

[ehj78]

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…

[Ayrek2023]

I will do that, expect them around 3-4 i have shcook

[ehj78]

the first guy had a Garford, starting to see the issue ?

[WalletWarrior69]

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.

[ehj78]

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

@ehj78

I’d love to have it in game but it would be pointless as it wasn’t made to fight tanks. It had only infantry fighting guns that fire HE or machine guns

Same gun is already in game in France. They could just give it modern shells (mle. 1937 APCR)

[Conte_Baracca]

@Conte_Baracca

They could go down to BR 0.0 and have 0.0-0.3-0.7 bracket.
This would not apply to only WW1 tanks, could be existing tanks in the game.
There are also several interwar tanks that would qualify that aren’t in the game.

Bears repeating. I really want more in this game.

Want planes too.

Already got ships.

[ehj78]

And it’s the worst gun of the game. So bad that the vehicles using it got replaced by the ones with the 47mm

[WalletWarrior69]

if new players started with ww1 and would have to grind to current 1.0 then I think even bigger % would quit

[Conte_Baracca]

@WalletWarrior69-

if new players started with ww1 and would have to grind to current 1.0 then I think even bigger % would quit

I didn’t say replace existing Reserve vehicles.

Still viable. This isn’t about being competitive, it’s about having fun.

@Conte_Baracca

i could agree about having fun, but the gun makes it impossible. Have you played them ? The 37mm isn’t viable at all ! No pen and next to no post pen damage. You can’t kill a thing with that joke of a gun
