Ive played both sides until I completed the event and I must say that the A7V is the best of them all, where the Saint-Chamond comes in second and the Mark V/Beutepanzer IV is at the same place with the Garford/Garford-Beute.
The Mark V/Beutepanzer IV struggles at trenches and the physic is completely messed up, you can’t not get stuck at trenches and some times the vehicle rotates by itself suddenly,
The Saint-Chamond is a good sniping vehicle to counterweight the complete lack of armor with decent mobility but poor gun angles.
The A7V in other hand is a good balance, holds a lot of shots if the enemy don’t place them properly, good reload rate, firepower, gun handling, armor and mobility.
Add the A7V to the Entente side just for making this easier, lol.
If this event isn’t enough to get Gaijin to return traction to how it used to be, I don’t know what will. The Mark V was literally made to cross trenches and muddy terrain. It can practically go up a vertical incline. In the game, it can’t even get over the broken bridge in the test range.
I’d say the Triple Entente is missing a lot of vehicles, Char 2C and FT-17 that could help, the Chamond is a good sniper and pretty much the carrier of the Entente, the A7V is all around the best, I’d nerf the reload speed for balance.
The Char 2C would completely destroy anyone at any distance with the 155 mm cannon, it’s obvious why it’s not in the event. In other hand the FT-17 could make the Entente in par with the Central.
Considering that the map is mostly hilly, parking behind some hill with the Char 2C is free guaranteed kills using the binoculars to help aim and acquire targets.
Dull and frustrating event. I don’t know why these April 01 events have become so bad the past couple of years when they used to be so much fun. Bring back the stupid stuff and the great snail, this ww1 realism is like having bamboo shoved up my fingernails. I will probably grind it, but not sure at the moment, it just isn’t fun at all.
