War Thunder: The Great War!

Even the bomber has an actual (albeit slightly low res) cockpit, and they would actually be better than the Po-2, or maybe even the swordfish in some circumstances.

I’m just sad that they won’t be available to get.

I liked the setting, I liked that the battles aren’t fast-paced with everyone running into each other, I liked the infantry, and I liked that each side has its own tank without a crazy race with both sides having the same toys… but the binoculars have a lot of zoom!!

the aircraft on both sides are very fun, shame we cant earn the zeplin

sure, it would have no use whatsoever but it is very fun and a BR 1 flying fortress with no pen but that can make the sky a laser light show would be nice

Technically, the A7V should only have 20mm of armor due to not actually having the RHA it’s depicted with ingame, soooo… :P

its not fun. The A7V is just better than British and French tanks with 18 crew and a gun that can pen you while you cant pen A7V frontally with Mark V

Those things are part of AB too, just in a different way. Shooting at over 1km ranges and over ridges still requires gunnery skill, and even the aiming marker doesn’t do all the work for you.
Not everyone wants to look for tank pixels among terrain and memorise distances between different parts of the map, while also suffering an even worse death spiral effect if you get shot first.
I think RB is pretty cool, but I just don’t enjoy the aspects in combination with competitive PvP environment.

Why are all the april fools events RB these days? Couldn’t you please simply offer an AB and an RB version for the tanks as well, as you manage to do for naval?

Kind of disappointed that the vehicles you earn don’t count as event vehicles and are instead tech tree ones

Whats the music for the event?

Even for such a fun event where you can get some quirky tanks, you use the same Fomo task system and then the tanks arent even spaded lmao.

Well, my friend did show me this on Discord

120 millimeter st chamond

Take the St. Chamond we have, and put a 120 in it. That would even the playing field.

I got the British bomber plane

We definitely need that

Yeah, This mode is a great idea, but execution and playtesting seems to be lacking - at least now that it’s in the hands of the players.

…between one side having a unit that’s pretty much unkillable in most circumstances, and the map not being a mirror image AND not flip/flopping the side that you start on to balance things out

Not fun at all.

Triple Entente have lost every round I’ve played today - by a LOT.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly.

If you like RB…

I found my forever home recently in Air SB. ♥

Why are arcade players always so defensive and toxic against RB players?

My comment was riddled with “subjective opinion, matter of personal preferences, nothing wrong with having different tastes”, etc…

And this is the answer it gets.

And then they speak of “RB elitists”…

Also, I’m 26 lmao

But the players are very narrow minded and judgemental - this boomer prefers AB 😛

I do wish there were a Ground RB and Ground SB that were equivalent to Air RB and Air SB.

Air RB - You get ONE vehicle. When you’re out, you’re out.
Air SB - Locked views, unlimited respawn (for an SL price), Room Host can select from a huge number of fixed-but-rotating BR, Map, and Nations On Team A or B options, and the room can potentially run 3 hours…

I feel sad as a air enjoyer today, the SPAD S.XIII and Fokker D.VII won’t be obtainable as an event vehicle. A sad day as a air enjoyer. ☹️
