What I like the most is the Mark, even more iconic, and I thought it would be the star of the mode but hell was i wrong …
It does that a lot when planes are moving slowly. You see it on the reserve planes like the gladiators, furys, and the J6B quite often. It’s quite annoying on the J6B because it flies so nicely with sim controls.
Mouse aim can’t cope with planes needing to be flown properly for them to be effective. It’s just not designed for it.

Both Mark IV/V are worst in this mode and want me to install BF1 back.
Well, At least ‘Traitor Mark IV’ is useful thanks to the new big gun
And being considerable backup if you hates to use garford sooo much.
:/
Geniue Mark V is basically useless in every aspect.
16g explosive can do no post-pen damage to A7V I think :(
Wasn’t Mark V designed to be compatible with being an APC/support vehicle (so called female tanks) while other tanks were designed without concern for transport roles?
I’m not too versed in WW1 tank development history so correct me if Im wrong.
Can you even pen the front of the A7 ? I tried a few times and got no results, after that i understood that it was time to play only the Chamond
Hmm not really. The difference between Males and Females is the armament; females had 4 MG while the male had 2 + 2 heavy guns.
They were designed to roll over the trenches and clear them with their side mounted armament. I don’t think APCs were a thing at this point. Tank were made to crush barbed wire, clear trenches and wait for the infantry to come and occupy the ground
Naaahh… I needed to flank them
With that ashamed beauty, which became a rubbish bin. :/
So I also stuck with Chamond only
If I need to flank with both Mark V and Garford to take A7V down
Why I need to give up the 76mm derp? :(
That’s what i thought …
Normally i’m a big fan of French tanks but my favorite from WW1 is clearly the Mark and i was so hyped to test them out when they announced the event … needless to say i played 2 or 3 times before remembering that’s it’s still a gaijin game …

You can destroy them from the front with Garfield, just aim at the roof/driver platform
We all know they will be useless meme tanks outside of event mode
Because They are WW1 tanks with 7km speed and meh weaponry
But Gaijin decided to shame Mark IV/V even inside of this mode.
Dunno. Why the heck did they do?
Biasing Russian empire
Or hatred to the British?
Besides.
I know about this too. Thanks for the friendly reminder, though.
I just wanted to make an example of why Mark V is worthless even if you flank A7V.
Bit of both i’d say, I think the bri’ish tech tree might be the worst after the french one which really sucks.
yup, reread your comment and understood it better, sorry about that
Nah no need to say sorry, It is all good mate.

Youre not the first one bringing this up. Its the russian milk truck which does best in this event. Its strange, yes :)

How was that unwarranted? It was unplayable before… it is too fast now I would say paired with the fact that it also one shots stuff whilst it’s can tank a ton of shells in return however.

That’s wild how you can take an event where Germany is blatantly OP and turn it into Russian bias.

Well, I am well aware that the German side is strong.
I lost only once since day 1 with the Germans.
Just… a Russian-built Garford truck on both sides is annoying as hell.
While Mark IV/V is basically worthless.
With some jokes, it feels like Gaijn want to steal the valour from Mark IV/V for Garford.
For shame every Western-built tank in the event.
I am sorry if my comment was not straightforward.
Clearly, if you make an event about WW1, the stars should be the Mark and Schneider/st chamond.
The A7V was a desperate measure that barely saw combat and was made from soft steel used for cauldrons and steam engines. But still, it has its place in the event.
The garford however, never saw action on the western front and definitely never saw a tank as russia got out of the war long before they became produced.
Why is it there ? Why is it so strong (gun + survivability)? Why must they ALWAYS put a russian thing when clearly it’s out of place ?

Or was it just Gaijin was lazy enough not to make Tannenberg mode with the armoured car for the April event in 2026? :/
Err… The Mad Thunder event last year was mediocre, though.
I think the most infuriating thing about the Garford’s armor is the fact that it is 6,5mm thick, where the APHE fuse sensitivity for all vehicles in the event is 7mm. I haven’t read up on the historical values so can’t say if they’re completely correct, but goddamn.
I’m glad that the Garfords was buffed, since it was initially outright unplayable, but they definitely went overboard with it, especially with the trench crossing ability.

Was it? For a realistic game one can expect players to no drive into deep mud in the first place. Similar as you know not to drive into water in normal game modes. Garford could have been used on your own map half. Quickly driving behind your trenches to provide rapid fire support with its op HE shell.
The ability to cross the hellish no mans land should have been restricted to tracked vehicles.
For me it would have made sense if Gar wouldn’t have been able to easily cross the map.
