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.

I think it wouldn’t be enough to be honest… performances between 1914, 135 km/h, unsynchronised mgs aircrafts and 1918, 200 km/h fighters is already pretty massive… if you put in interwar vehicles into the mix, especially early 1930’s fighter which could reach 300 kph, a single br bracket is going to be too small, and it won’t be pleasant, the same way facing a Kamov 50 in a Sikorsky H34 is unpleasant.
This is only the trailer music.
Where can we find battle music, that we hear in the event matches?
Same for me
They could go for maybe a different BR jumps between vehicles then. Maybe instead of 0.0 → 0.3 → 0.7 we instead could get a smaller scale like 0.1 → 0.2 etc and have change what BR’s you can see accordingly.

As I have to go to work soon, just had my final fight before the ‘Armistice’. It’s been a lot of fun, and a hreat honour to have fought with you all on the western fromtlines of the Great War! I loved the event, and I’m sad its basically over for me.
What I loved most was flying put the Fokker D.VII (even though the flight model isn’t right), which is one of my favourite historical planes, and it’s a shame I can’t keep it. But who knows, we don’t know what the future holds, so there may be hope
Here my final screenshots.
