Okay, so I played for a while because I want the collectible vehicles and forced myself to endure RB spotting. It’s more or less fun, but the novelty wore off very quickly. So far this is my opinion:

  • 5000 points per star is not too much of a grind to make it annoying. So that’s good.
  • The imbalance in both teams comes mostly from map design. The hilly terrain and low velocity guns makes it much easier for the A7V to snipe (at least for those who can aim the damn thing, I don’t get how people can rangefind and hit accurately without being able to see the shell itself), while the Chamond with its gun so low to the ground doesn’t get to spot targets or engage them that easily.
    *The armored cars are made for masochists. Literally no reason to use them unless, I don’t know, you hate yourself for some reason.
    *The aircraft are… Bad. The Zeppelin is an useless bad of explosives. The Fokker is objectively worse than the SPAD and once you lose altitude, game over, you’re not getting that back. The bomber, I only got to use it once.
    *The infantry component is completely wasted. It looks cool, it does nothing, it could be removed and nobody would notice and that is a real shame.

all planes get an air spawn in AB and RB, i doubt the blimps would be in any SB rotation as they usually don’t have a tonne of br1s

Quality is a separate issue from armor treating. There’s a reason we HAVE armor modifiers like RHA and Mild Steel ingame in the first place.

It should be corrected, and the armor of the A7V should be nerfed as such.

910

its not coming

911

the server despawns crashed planes and helicopters, you know? even if someone has it right in front of them, the server would snap it out of existence

912

Funny how I was in the top ranks during those losses… so wasn’t my skill issue.
Best regards,

The imbalance in both teams comes mostly from map design.

Or the fact that one side gets one shot constantly whilst needing a dozen shots to kill the other side, A7s just rush across the map and as the other side gets stuck everywhere the game is over due to the ticket bleed even if they magically kill the A7s.

sau40 sohrtenned 75 1897 that should be more what the saint-chamond fires

and finally the round it should have gotten (and overpressuring would compensate for the a7v 120g of tnt)

The armored cars are amazing. Though the shells are weird. I can overpressure an A7V with the HE but somehow not kill another armored car

923

I dint think this is the right one

924

Congrats, you discovered the Gaijin treatment to France. Literally all french vehicles are either under performing or completely incorrectly modeled

Lol the A7Vs armor wasnt Mild steel, it was armor grade steel, a little under demand as they didnt have the correct tooling and applications, but it was armor grade steel.

927

yep, for some reason the garford is completely immune to overpressure. Gaijin “balancing” of the even is disastrous as the garford HE can and will overpressure most entente vehicles, even from the front, assuming it’s close enough.

928

Not. RHA.
