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.

Some final thoughts:
-
CAS in a Zeppelin… who thought that might work? Maybe some area targets (heavy arty batteries, ammo dumps, supply depots) behind the lines might have been better, more realistic targets for Zeppelins and the bomber, each giving an appropriate ticket bleed on destruction: more tickets for deeper targets.
-
No real balance between most vehicles. Could have been somewhat fixed by differing SP and a fixed number of SP per player. You could start in anything, including air as many would have liked, and keep respawning while SP remain.
-
Given the lack of balance a PvE mode might have been better. Players take the aircraft and tanks used to support infantry as they attack lines of fortified pillboxes, trenches, mg nests etc. Even allow other players to occupy some heavily protected pillboxes as player opposition?
-
A wheeled truck that can cross trenches way wider than the wheels… Peak Gaijin. For a couple days I was avoiding trenches if I used the Garford. Then I saw it was able to cross trenches, so I gave it a try… yea, a genuine hover-truck. Totally ruined the feel of an impassable no-man’s land.
-
Much potential… if it wasn’t for Gaijin.

I used Aphe
(That is why the zepplin is so tanky)
I shot a few down with the St Chamond, normal ap shell
I also used APHE to some effect, as it was the round I had loaded by default, but usually I switched to HE after the first round. Usually took 3-5 rounds and even that might only give an assist. However, once fire took hold I expect the Zeppelin was doomed anyway, but I could usually get a few more rounds off. Only on one occasion did I one-shot a Zeppelin for an insta-kill, and that was with HE.
A big shout out for all the Zeppelin captains, as playing St Chamond AAA was sometimes the biggest single contribution to my 5k daily points - 3 kills and a few assists on one day, which was more kills than I got against tanks that day, although I likely had many more tank assists. The other major source of points was ‘just blowing up.’

I found flying the Zeppelin to be quite tricky - I managed to “land” once - right on top of the enemy Garford I thought I was bombing!
The size and perspective fooled me completely and I only realised because it wouldn’t let me drop bombs while on the ground!!
Avoided flying them after that!
But like others got a few kills of them with AFV guns

Got the vehicles, but was away for work and didn’t get title. Usually the event will stay around for a few days afterwards, allowing people to GE any missed stages - but this one is gone gone. Too bad.

Facing a dumb team sure is an advantage and a blessing

Almost as if vehicles aren’t balanced irl. And limitations for the vehicles that faced eachothed irl for the timeperiod will always cause issues of certain vehicles being much more capable than others. That doesn’t mean like this event, they shouldn’t be added or allow people to have fun.

Almost as if we’re playing a videogame and no one wants to play as the side that cannot win, what is the point?
This entire game is unhistorical.

The original post says that the Great War reward vehicles are supposed to be event vehicles, but they lack the tag in-game. I really hope this gets addressed.
Also, the post only speaks of the vehicle mobility in regular RB battles. Why don’t the vehicles have their mobility from the event in AB?
