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
the mk5 was done dirty. st chamond or garford one or two shot it
Used it only twice (this includes the German one)
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

it’s fake the tank was clearly reversed on that slope
you see, Comrade, BMP3 cant do it so no western vehicle can ever.
Very funny, but no
didnt you see the bmp vs early bradley assessment? bmp3 is junk
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?
Iirc the event uses speed values above even that of AB.
Congrates the british Mark 4 is the slowest tank even slower than the tutel
Snail speed
When will the event vehicles be tagged as event vehicles ingame? With the appropriate line that says that they are from this event?
