why can’t France get the renault FT? Also what is the plane we see in the great war trailer?

Aside from usual event server issues and Entente spawn…

Funny how A7V which didn’t really do anything historically is such a menace in this game :)

that is because you only see the stuff you havent unlocked yet. i constantly go and play lower rank stuff because it is fun. i mostly ignore the research stuff.

both sides get 3 ground vehicles and 2 aircraft in the event

On a technical level, this event is incredibly bad. I’ve played a total of 10 games on the Entente side, of which I got booted (as in, kicked out) of two of them, in a third one the game crashed and the match itself got deleted (never showed up in my match history), while for literally all the rest there were incredibly intrusive connection issues.
Tanks flying, sliding back and forth, and shells literally despawn beyond 350 meters - it’s unplayable.

As for the actual balancing, I used the Garford for all my games except the last one. I know these are WW1 vehicles, I know “war is hell”, I know that getting bogged was just “part of the experience”, but the traction on the Garford SPECIFICALLY is so bad it’s not even funny. On some portions of the map around the C cap it can’t even go in a straight line, it literally starts sliding left and right.

The concept is cool, the actual technical implementation is hot garbage though.

Popular nation = has to be the strongest, that’s how the dev’s mind is.

help i cant play it doesn’t work

it’s fine as long as you play tanks (that are way faster than they should lol).The main problem is gaijin servers as if they didn’t know the event like these would overload them with players.

This is such a fun event! Spraying down infantry and advancing through the trenches is awesome, and the grind isn’t bad at all. I wish this would stay as a monthly event or something. The servers could use some help though, ping is really bad and HE is useless against infantry.

Servers are dead of course… even the forum is barely hanging on.

Funny how Gaijin have switched off the display of player queue sizes just a few hours into the event.

I’m glad that I managed to complete both stages in the first hour of the event and now I don’t have to face these crap bugs lol

why cant I keep the zeppelin

This bears repeating.

Examples of vehicles:
Fiat 2000 - Wikipedia

The M model:
Fiat 3000 - Wikipedia

For Sweden and Germany:
LK II - Wikipedia

With the Mle1937 APCR round this would work:
Renault FT - Wikipedia

America has some as well:
T1 light tank - Wikipedia
T2 tank - Wikipedia

Britain:
Vickers Medium Mark II - Wikipedia

Japan:
They used versions of early French and British tanks

For planes there are definitely some interwar biplanes and bombers that could be added

For ships we’re already there.

The event need to be fixed against cheaters and how is possible that laser range finders exist. Getting sniped around 600m accurate by weapons that suppose not accurate enough. The Mad Max event was better then WW1 event with cheaters unloading they aimbot skills.

Ignore the language in my game’s screenshot, but I’ve been trying for 10 minutes to get into my third match in hours…

Alright, snail, I find a match, and you kick me out because you’re incapable of accommodating enough players to prevent server connection errors and instability issues.

And on top of that, you give us “6 DAYS OF EVENT” under these TERRIBLE conditions that MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE for players to complete the event SATISFACTORILY?

Seriously, Gaijin, I love you, but some days you really ask for it.

Please, extend the event duration—this is not enough time for players who are being affected by these instabilities and server-side errors, which are not the players’ fault.

As cool as it would be, they would have made it trash.
