I also can’t find anything that suggests the Germans fitted the other 57s into their tanks, other than a few experimental ones.
Why are infantry so resistant to HE rounds? It takes two direct hits with most HE rounds while one AP round will one shot, and even do area of effect damage and one shot.

The buff to the french Saint chammond made it harder to use as I preferred to use it.
Namely, I cannot lob shells over hills as reliably due to faster velocity

It’s so stupid. I shot a 160g tnt shell into a loaded trench and killed… one person…

I bet if you used an AP round it would have killed 3. The car thing is the only reason to use an HE round, despite there being tons of infantry who are, historically, not very great at surviving direct hits from high explosive shells.

Is that a fact? Where do you get information about that? I can’t find anything. I thought they were more resistant to getting slapped in the face by a tenth of a kilogram of TNT. /s
A question. Are there any plans to introduce more WWI aircraft (fighters and bombers) and/or ground vehicles into the game, for applicable nations, in a researchable form, either
- As an extension backward in already existing tech trees, either by extending all battle ratings upward a constant amount or introducing battle ratings less than 1.0, or
- As a completely new set of tech trees with their own battle ratings and matchmaking placing them outside of battles involving main-tree vehicles?

I’d love to have it in game but it would be pointless as it wasn’t made to fight tanks. It had only infantry fighting guns that fire HE or machine guns

Same gun as h35 that’s already in game

Was probably 60/40 on the axis side to complete a task today.
Then switching to FR-UK for other task, had to grind it and my teams went 0-10.
One side of map definitely has an advantage.
Average snail reasoning. Meanwhile, in vehicles, the crews still get nuked by tiny HE rounds in open tops.

No I mean ppl who are asking for ww1 to be added officially to the game’s progression
It’s RB - Just go into cockpit view and you’re there, basically.
the WWI aircraft didn’t have trim in the sense that you’re thinking of. The SE5 and SE5a had a “trim wheel” on the left side of the cockpit that adjusted the angle of the whole tailplane to balance the forces and “trim” the aircraft.
Meanwhile Alcock and Brown flew the Vickers Vimy trans-atlantic with a piece of elastic to reduce control forces. No trim to be found.
Clippy says "Did you mean F-UK?
Joke aside, the truck is Russian. The Triple Entente is France, Great Britain, and Russia.
A 15lb round travelling at 4-500 m/s is a little more than a slap in the face.
Look up tanks in WW1 and you’ll find the germans using 77mm field artillery to destroy them - they may or may not have had proper AP at the time (wiki says there was an AT round but good luck finding any actual info on it) - soit is entirely possible they were using HE or shrapnel, or maybe those with no fuse so they became a solid shot.
They also used 37mm infantry guns and minenwerfer
eg Tank Killers on the Western Front - Warfare History Network - this says they had a steel tipped AP round, but again gives no details.

There is infantry in the mode. The objectives should have been built around supporting the infantry (the reason these tanks were made for in the first place), but Gaijin is a one-trick pony when it comes to objectives. It’s always team deathmatch.

Would be amazing to keep the Zeppelin. A BR 1.0 meme bomber to rival the Po-2!

Trash event. Points don’t even calculate correctly. Get 2500 points in the match, end up with only 400 for the event quest. Fix your junk Gaijin.
Hope Gaijin adds WW1 vehicles to techtree. Incredibly fun. Don’t listen to any whiners going on about how their grind would be extended to boring top-tier vehicles.
