the I-16s are competitive in 5.x though, their turn rate is incredible and can shred light vehicles and uexpecting planes alike
even in the event the Blimps get shredded, even the tanks can hit you at a distance. it’s no different from the Tu-4 that gets destroyed easily but is fun to drop tonnes of stalinium bombs across the map
hey i was wondering if this is correct? says in the post that all vehicles obtainable are event vehicles but looking at my first unlock, the plane it’s just in the regular tech tree with no event status!
@Stona_WT Stona both on the roundup section and in general discussion, there are large amounts of players including myself whom are confused and desperately wanting to be able to have the Zeppelin as the 8th event vehicle to be the german counterpart to the H.P.12. Both are extremely slow and fragile and though with defensive armament are massive. But they both are extremely fun to fly and have good bombloads.
Theres also a poll though placed in the wrong area that has recieved near 70 yes votes already within the last 24hrs which is extremely far ahead of any actual vehicle suggestions for vehicles not already in the game or available.
Is there any chance the Zeppelin can be added as an extra independant stage alongside another so that if we WANT we can either grind the event further to get the Zeppelin or pay lets say 1,999 GE for it? This means those of us who understand the weaknesses and strengths but still want to play it will be able too. And those whom do not, don’t have too? I think this a very reasonable suggestion considering how many of us are WW1 obsessed and love that we finally get a fully functioning Zeppelin ingame (and if this helps convince the devs, in our hands permanently just like the other event vehicles like the H.P.12 which has almost all the weaknesses of the Zeppelin except being faster with less bombload).
Another thing I will mention is that we understand the other fighters are being used for Aces of Thunder to make the game more Unique when it comes out, but nothing at all has been mentioned by any of the moderators anywhere as to why the Zeppelin is not available.
Consider how many of us every year play the TB-3M and Po-2 whom own them? There is a genuine interest for extremely fragile, fun aircraft that if you play them right and are lucky you get good bombloads off.
I mean currently those that have the H.P.12 on average are absolutely loving them in customs and ingame.
And similarly there are soooo many of us currently after completing the first 2 stages spawning in zeppelins and after dropping bombs try to fly to the edge of the map to chill out and try and enjoy this as much as possible just incase worst case scenario we can’t actually get them.
Because I cannot stress this enough. The Zeppelins are absolute joy for us Zeppelin bomber fans, especially those whom are majorly interested in WW1 history and the UK’s First Blitzes in WW1.
@Stona_WT Again I do apologise for pinging so much. But genuinly there is a large interest for the Zeppelin for those whom want to have it, just like those of us whom primarily wanted the H.P12 and the Male Mk V’s (IV for germany). Again like I suggested make it a seperate alongside stage near the end of the event requiring more points and ge than the other stages. This both lets you guys gain potential more income for the model you have made for this event, whilst allowing those of us whom really want it, large or few in number, to gain it ingame.
Squadron/Collector’s vehicle that is not meant to be competetive in any way, maybe disable random match-making and enable only test flight shenanigans and custom battle spawning.
I’d love to join a re-enactment custom event focusing on WW1 vibes by someone like Krab with aforementioned zeppelins.
