Just finished the tasks for the two sides.
0 victory as Entente (out of 4 games), 3 victories as German Reich for both rewards.
Pros : Setup is great. Models are awesome either the planes or the tanks (Paintjobs on the Saint-Chamond or the A7V are fire)
Infantery : I heard whistles and followed them in a charge on the no man’s land (then they were mowed down by a bomber, CAS is already there), great impression.
Cons : Really, really unbalanced. Maybe limit the number of A7V’s on german side ?
Why, WHY not keeping the SPAD and Albatros too ???
It would’ve been nice the entente got the FT over the Garford to at least have mobility to make up for the lack of strong guns and no armor to have something as some kind of a counter to flank the A7V with it’s rapid fire gun to put pressure on them enough for chammonds and mark 5s to not instantly get vaporized by the A7s. As it stand the entente can’t even make it to a capture point cause the entire enemy team is spamming A7Vs that’ll erase your crew and vehicle before you can get a gun onto them and if they do kill an A7V, they almost always have enough points to bring zeppelins in to further spawn camp with.
the entente is just worse in every way. worse armor, worse mobility, worse guns, worse map sides. example: on A point, Germany gets flat terrain after one hill and some easy hard cover (building). Entente just gets some hills and like 2 ways they can actually reach the a point with giant sight lines for germany to use. and no funny zeppelins :(
the entente desperately needs a buff. also the garford needs more torque, you get stuck on a tiny mound every 5 seconds and it’s just not fun
The event is great, don’t get me wrong—but it’s good for a day or two, not six. Also, what are you supposed to do with a WW1 tank against modern armor? The planes are a joke too—reserve planes are faster and have way more advantages. Maybe it’s a fun meme collection, but the execution? Zero.
The event is extremely unbalanced—Germany wins 99% of the games. Matchmaking takes forever because no one wants to play the other team. Just an awful execution overall.
I know April 1st is meant for testing new mechanics, but this? Really? I honestly expected something nice—not this. I’d rather have an event where I have to grind until my brain melts, instead of playing with tanks that have zero value in the tech tree.
it isn’t about value or being a good tank. a lot of people enjoy the ww1 vehicles even if theyre not as capable. you cant please everyone, understand that. however the balance of this event is dumb and us not being able to play as soldiers (but we could earlier play as damn fighter robots) is non sense
Oh, sure—maybe the German players are enjoying the WW1 vehicles. But hey, what fun they’ll have once the event’s gone, right? Back to reality with nothing to show for it.
