In one of the last battles on Garford, I immediately took point C from the upper right respawn, then tanked several hits from the A7V, successfully repaired and destroyed a couple more enemies in area A with flanking fire right from there, from behind the house, where a small truck is completely invisible from the enemy side.

And before the event I had never played TRB, and literally a few battles in TAB. I even shoot by eye, without calculating the distance. This truck is too OP.

The WW1 theme and setting are pretty good, but the event needed to be worked on better, it feels raw and unbalanced. I think its developers would be upset to hear this, but I’m glad it’s over soon and I can get back to AAB and relax.

Yeah but they should capture the points. They are much harder to hit driving to the point than all other tanks + They have the second best survivability

I always have an eye in the sky aswell when playing the truck. If 2 or 3 planes are in the air capturing points is very easy. I think it is only 6 vs 6.

The best way i can think to balance the mode, and the entire game, is to bring back Hull Break. Only way to make it feel like a tank game again

I mean the truck should get overpressured really easy but somehow doesnt. It even tanks sometimes it’s own rounds with 700g + tnt

Milktruck would have passed the trench :) A Mark V which was designed for exactly this fails :)

Seriously: It took me 2 matches to identify the Mark as useless ingame. I never spawned it after testing this tank. I went with Chamond , Garford and A7. Air: the Entente bomber.

All other units are just Gimmicks. Like the Zeppelin, which is the most useless unit. Especially for 750 spawn points.

Nah, all other long tracked tanks have the same problem (FCM, TOG etc) I don’t know how tracks are modelled but only some parts of it give traction and it’s REALLY annoying

Same, the British mark is the worst since the german one has better guns. And that’s really sad for an inconic tank such as the Mark.
I was so hyped to drive it and even that is complicated … the star of WW1 is utter garbage …

1401

Did they nerfed Garford’s gun? I cant one shot many tanks from the front anymore. Not even the little “windows” on the A7v

1402

Everyone should drive the Garford. Easy to kill (if using HE shells each other) and most bearable to play.

Saint Chamond is trash…Its like a Christmas tree that says “shoot me” with its “desert” camo

1403

Sounds like a good spot, not an op vehicle.

1404

alright, how’s that ?

  1. They changed the mode, so I have no idea what it’s like now.
  2. Your on the German side which means everyone is focusing the A7V
  3. Again, on the German side, so you can more easily over pressure the French, Brit, and Russian vehicles.

Sounds like Germany needs a nerf

1406

I think some of the flight model issues also come from mouse aim being terrible at properly turning and using the right rudder technique.

I still need to do more testing with them, but they do feel off.

Already told you not to doubt my word XD.
FYI, the last two spawns were pointless and i just killed an A7V if i remember well

1408

Doesn’t prove the Garford is really “OP” or something. A good vehicle, but I think they recently nerrfed the overpressure on it.

1409

oh so decimating the entire ennemy team without even dying isn’t OP to you ?
I even could have scored more than 11 but i ran out of ammo.
Also i don’t think they nerfed anything, i saw your post so i tried and nope, i keep one shoting just as before

I mean, some people can do the same with a mk.v, that doesnt make it a good tank, just as some rounds doesnt prove a vehicle is OP

Few games I had the chance to dogfight while using SB control setup I did feel I had far better energy retention. When in mouse aim mode, it looks like the game puts the aircraft into a massive sideslip for some reason.

Show me a screenshot of one Mark killing 11 A7V without dying and i’ll admit it. Doubt it ever happened though. Even with the best camping spot, that’s perfectly impossible
