I could unlock all vehicle mods after just the first game. A7 is quite good. Shot down a I-16, you have a plethora of MGs for AA. Also some ground targets, several BT-7, T-26 and such. The shell is good, one hit and they were gone. Survived several shots and air attacks (no bombs). Speed is managable, was enough for a cap.
Just wounder why its top speed is 12km/h, wiki states 16 km/h top.
Glad to hear A7V is useable outside of the event
I can’t wait to have mine today.
I got Berte Mark IV as my first reward in German
It was no more than a meme tank, I guess.
The 7km speed was way too slow.
It would be great if it could go 11~12kph. :|
The gun was good, though.
Garford as well. 5 kills in RB. The tankiness works same way, won’t fuse most shells, just autocannon vehicles are deadly. I didn’t survive an AA vehicle, for these you have no defense. But still, the shell even nukes these soviet T-35 heavy tanks (1.3). Killed two of them.
Can I play on Fokker in test mission or live?
Clearly not true since you and all these other people played it.
on CQC maps like rhine i got 10kils
They might be meme vehicles, but they’re far from the worst. Mobility sucks, but their guns can actually destroy enemies (even if you have to aim for weakspots or flank), they reload quick and they can often take a lot of punishment. The old French reserves still hold the crown of awfulness.
I have what I assume will be an unpopular opinion. The Garford Beute (not the regular Garford) is better than the A7V in the event(not in regular battles). Firstly, and most obviously, its mobility is over twice as good as the A7V. Secondly, its HE rounds are amazing against the Entante vehicles and one shot them consistently. It also has a decent 4 second reload and a low velocity that allows for droop shotting people. The thing that nobody talks about with this vehicle is how difficult it is to one shot it with anything other than HE (even HE takes 2-3 hits sometimes). After the St. Chamond buffs, its AP head is powerful enough to go through and hit the ammo that is farther back in the A7V which consistently one taps it. Since most people use the St Chamond for the Entante, I find that the A7V is more likely to get one tapped than the Garford Beute.
So in summary from my own personal observations, the Garford Beute is faster, more survivable, and has a lower velocity gun that you can droop shot things from behind cover with and one shot pretty consistently. I think a counter claim that someone might bring up is that the beute’s gun is facing backwards. I don’t think the backwards gun is much of a detriment if played correctly. Just sit behind a ridge and shoot people repositioning when needed and it will do great.
It is not an unpopular opinion - it is the current perceived situation.
It is an unpopular situation due to poor choices made by Gaijin, but pretty much everyone agrees with it.
That is good to know. I thought it would be unpopular because all of my friends still think the Garford Beute is terribly worse than the A7V.
No sane person would play this on either side after they got their 5K point.
Ther is no point playing either side after you get the 5k points - you get no reward
It is funny how many people demonstrate that they have a learning disability when i see countless threads complaining about the A7V over and over and over when it is objectively the easiest tank to kill with 3 gigantic ammoracks right at the front for the saint chamond to immediate nuke on sight, but hey cry enough and people will gloss over skill issue.
Exactly. Only reason I will play today is to get the HP12. That’s the only one I really wanted (Mark V & St both nice to get though), so obviously it will be the last one I get. Immediately gave up on the event every day the moment I got the ‘star.’ Just too dire for words. Battle of Atlantic event, OTOH, I played both sides well beyond the daily requirement because it was fun and there were plenty of options to try out; it had that, ‘just one more go’ factor any good game has. This event doesn’t.
unplayable as in completely no joy from playing it, just pure torture.
lol what you have a skill issue bro
a7v is the hardest tank to kill actually, it has 18 crew and rarely explodes
you are delusional
my guy is stating the obvious… Yes the garford is the best in the event…
It has 3 ammoracks all right in front, 2 of which are literally marked for you with giant crosses, one of which is right under the gun, I regularly ammorack A7Vs on sight so I’d really like to know how it “rarely explodes” when 99.9% of the players always carry full ammo
you have to penetrate it first and then it has to detonate (you have small filler)
I guarantee you I will kill your st chamond before you kill my a7v
You can guarantee all you want lmao, velocity is king
