24 km/h in no mans land. If you avoid the muddy craters. Trenches, the wooden barricades and barbed wire dont affect you speed. Once you get out of the trench zone, you’re at 36km/m. They can’t track you in chamonts or something like that.
Best position is behind their spawn :)
Final day of the event
I haven’t started grinding yet and considering GE the title.
But It really seems Gaijin was lazy enough to balance the event.
Mark IV/V are still worthless since day 1.
St Chamomd is still one-tapped by everything flys into the frontal armour.
A7V got Nerf twice every day, but it is still the best and solid option if we exclude Garford.
(There is a big difference between getting penned by 76mm Granata and being overpressured by it.)
Gaijin just dropped hilarious buffs to Garford to make this mode balanced.
‘Make only Garford worthy to play.’
I really think day 1 was the best of this event. Ironically.
Germany steamrolled every match with their leopard 2A7V but at least it was filled with WW1 Vibes.
“Great war”??
Change this event’s name to ‘Mad Thunder 2.0’
Same wheeled hellhole with same laziness.
At least I’m glad that the grind wasn’t taken longer than last year.
It is very funny when Mark IV goes 12km/h maximum and can’t cross any trenches
While an armoured car with wagon wheels has no problem passing through.
:/
Because collection? Because not everything is about having the most zooming competitive warmachine? Because they are historical and iconic machines of ww1? Because the visual model is great and already in the game.
I fail to see what would be the negative impact for a player.
Mad Thunder was a great Event not like this Event i had fun playing mad thunder only the hackers triggered me.
The best carriage of the WW I according to Gaijin:
Is there any reason to play the Event past getting all vehicles Besides Profil Picture and title?
Not really anymore, the milktruck meta has ruined it for me since yesterday.
It’s a shame, because it really loved it, and I still think it’s one of the best april fools events in years. Especially loved the Fokker D.VII
Something else about this D.VII, as I said it is equipped with an actual engine they were equipped with in WW1, it could be 2 engine types. From what I’ve gathered, this one has the Mercedes D.IIIa engine, while the one in game seems to be a Fokker D.VIIF (with that skin, it’s the one flown by Ernst Udet), which was equipped with a more powerful BMW engine, so performance would even be better
I really think we could get more WW1 and interwar vehicles.
Planes and tanks
We already get ships.
We could also make them better by adding 0.0/0.3/0.7 BR’s and make all of these vehicles like the event vehicles. Separate from the research lines. We also wouldn’t replace the current Reserve vehicles with these vehicles. These would just be for fun. I think enough people would enjoy these vehicles. Some are iconic. Others are just great beauties lost to time like SIAI S. 52. There are a lot of tanks similar to what we got in the event and every nation (well except Israel) could get some. Things like the Fiat 2000 and 3000. FT-17 with Mle. 1937 ammo. The LK II for Germany and Sweden. So many options. So many beautiful planes.
Yeah, I forgot how absurd the grind was last April Fools event. I got the decal and quit.
Since this is the supposed topic for reviews of this event - for some reason it did not appear in suggested as I made my own topic - might as well post the link to it here:
As I expected, the sweaties have ruined the mode by finding the most effective sniping positions, spawning the Garfield and destroying hell out of everything. Want to actually play the objective? Lol no, you can’t. To repeat myself, leave it to WT players to suck the fun out of the game.
I GEd the last task, because screw it. The mode isn’t fun anymore.
Oddly enough the small patches of sandbags around the map do slow the Garford down massively - so it isn’t like they can’t make terrain-specific effects on it’s mobility!
Just today’s 2 to do - will do the CP 1 first to get the title as it’s fastest, then see how I feel about it for the icon…
I shot a zepplin 5 times with the Mark V and the thing was still flying
The French had anti gravity devices since ww1
Biggest complaint of mine remains the lack of air only mode or incentive to take out the fighters.
I spent a lot of matches just flying around aimlessly with nothing to fight in my SPAD or fokker.
Did you use HE? The APHE shell has 7mm fuze sensitivity, so it’s useless against the Zeppelin.
Yeah honestly I think this would be the best way to add them. Add a rank 0 with the aircraft at BR 0.0 - 0.7.
Oh, another balance issue with the great war:
It really, really highlighted the ridiculousness of maxed/ace crews.
Barely few seconds for gunners to get replaced is absurd. This is probably a significant reason why mark V did so badly. You snipe the gunner and he’s back in barely a few seconds.
