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. ☹️

This is genuinely the worst april fools event yet. Last year was fun compared to this. 1 map and a few boring, slow tanks. Infantry is useless. The event trailer was literally 100x better than whatever was introduced today. And don’t even get me started on the garbage rewards.
Thank you for this great event. :) I like it. It is what I was expecting from WWI scenario just the tanks move pretty fast as you buffed their mobility. :)
I played on both sides, did the task in 5 battles total, nothing crazy. :)
Dear players, please stop the hate and negativity. If you do not like it then do not play it. Just imagine the beginning of “tank” as concept more than 100 years ago. I do not know what people expect but I would be happy for these machines just to run and traverse terrain without breaking. Now imagine you had to sit in one of these for hours with 17 other people.
Yes there were server issues, there are other valid issues too. It is good to point them out, I myself have a thread about many issues with the game. But balance ? War is never balanced or fair. Mud and poor mobility ? I would have difficulties even walking in the mud which would be present on the battlefield after weeks/ months of shelling, fighting, raining etc…
I am just thankful for another event, we can try something different. I like the addition of infantry squads to the battlefield. They are moving up as you capture points. They defend them from the trenches and throw AT grenades at enemies trying to capture them. You have to clear the points first to capture them back.
Thank you for your work Gaijin.

What kind of creature calls a 26 year old “old”? Are you 12 or something?
Also, how do you go from this
To this:
Is this some kind of bait?

AF events used to be fun. this isnt. period
The people expect a good event, not a redundant mode reminiscent of low tier. It is a single map, and infantry is basically just there, most of it being unkillable. So I understand your point. If you do not like it, do not play it. But I think since this is the big event every year and they’ve almost completely toned down all other events, they should make it a good one. What happened to the trailer dropped a day before? I would much prefer a playable infantry or otherwise a unique gamemode but this just isn’t unique or high-effort at all.

Almost like fun is a subjective topic- a concept probably too hard to grasp for those who speak in absolutes like they are the only holders of the universe’s truth.
In my opinion, the event is cool even in spite of its issues. Nothing outworldly, but neither so terrible.
Anyway!-

try reading the thread and youll see im not the one out of touch. its terrible. Gaijins fault for making so many excellent AF events in the past and then rolling this rubbish out. They made it subjectively terrible compared to their oustanding past efforts.

While I still really hate your practices this is very cool
How come the Zeppelin is not available for german event players like the H.P.12 is for British? It’s extremely balanced being slow and fragile whilst having good bombs.
Is there seriously no way us Zeppelin fans whom have been begging for them to come to the game oneday can get them on the accounts.
Even the suggestion (though in the wrong area) was gaining alot of traction in a short amount of time for addition as an event reward like the other vehicles.

I wanna take the zeppelin to top tier, I don’t care what anyone thinks 😁
Scoring a cheeky kill on low tier battles would be so cool as well, I want the skies to look more chaotic.
Immersion is out the window with this game, we have modern SPGs and IFVs fighting WW2 tanks, a zeppelin in 1.0 battles won’t hurt.
