War Thunder: The Great War!

It’s also fairly heavy, especially if you forget to reduce their fuel%.

Just dry, no ammo nothing they’re ~600 kg.

That’s not a lot of power to weight, and the airframe is incredibly draggy so the specific excess power is even worse.

I’d live to keep the Zeppelin. Its the most unique unit in the history of WT. Gimmick factor 100%.

You are confusing two different aircraft :)
H(arri)P(otta)12 is an obtainable reward.

Triple Entente

Obtainable vehicles:

  • Mark V — an Event Vehicle Medium tank for Great Britain at Rank I
  • St-Chamond — an Event Vehicle Medium tank for France at Rank I
  • Garford — an Event Vehicle Light tank for the USSR at Rank I
  • H.P.12 — an Event Vehicle Bomber for Great Britain at Rank I

I dont know, man. In this, it doesn’t appear to want to fall out of the sky with every slight turn. And it could actually climb. Sure, it probably doesn’t have the guns and ammo on board but still.

That’s just how less powerful planes are. Even the reserve biplanes have 500+ HP on much more modern designs.

Of course a plane will if you then too sharply, because the engine power doesn’t carry it like every other plane in the game. You just need to fly them like an actual plane, and not a WWII era fighter.

Edit: mouse aim also isn’t very good for them, it can’t properly and effectively use the rudder.

Btw is there any official reason why we cant keep the other planes and the zeppelin? (Even limited to custom battles)
And can you atleast bring back the zeppelin for more events?

That’s why I suggested doing some tweaks to the map to make it more playable for other tiers. As you know Gaijin has been making adjustments to maps that have been in the game for years so why not make some adjustments to the Great War map to make it playable for other tiers? Most of the work is already done so I don’t think it would take the same amount of effort as it would be creating an entirely new map.

Quite honestly I prefer maps like Berlin and Advance to the Rhine because it provides a sense of realism that an actual battle is taking place. I’d actually like to see some of the current maps in the game get the same war torn treatment as the 2 maps I mentioned. Would like to see a war torn Sun City map, Cargo Port and a few others getting destroyed. Destroyed buildings, rubble, bomb craters, wreckage, that kind of stuff.

Again, a lot of the work is already done so I think it would be a little easier on the designers than creating a new map. This would also provide the opportunity for different play styles and a new experience for us.

Gaijin took the time and resources to create the vehicles, some of which we get to keep, and the time and resources to create the map, so why not adjust this map and put it in rotation?

The same stupid problem with Normandy map trenches.
Can you please fix the INSANE hit box and poor modelilig problems of your game???

Tbh, it looks legit that you got stuck. You can’t drive like this and expect to make it.

Except my tank was absorved by some invisible force.
This issue is happening in Normandy map since year ago.

Same with the very very old issue with Abandoned Factory buildings hitbox doors…

That’s how I feel everytime I’m grinding tech trees with premium tanks man. It’s why I try to wait to purchase viable ones I can happily deal with should I run into droughts of poor luck. Things like the Type 90 Fuji been treating me well lately despite hard times. But yeah this game is really RNG in its current state with how everything works, so many bugs and strange ways the game functions just results in outcomes that shouldn’t ever occur.

Just had a loss streak of 7 central powers matches, the good times are over. Maybe someone should tell them.

Bad luck i guess, cuz they’re still winning 80% of the time

No really, Chamond snipes everything down.

Yeah this is bad. My eyes are not the best, and I have other health issues that makes the forced RB mode very very unenjoyable to play.

That’s the only way you can play it

Also gameplay became dull. On day#1 one I used to cross the trenches, shot at soldiers and MG positions, action, immersion.

After Gajin applied some hotfixes Armor became meaningless and now its all about sitting behind slopes, don’t reveal any pixel of your vehicles and use the steep trajectory to lob shell over hills. Thats not fun and idiotic. And boring.

Armour ? The only tank that had armour is the A7V so yeah, good thing it became irrelevant

Zepplin should definitely stay. At 1.0 it will just be a worse PBY.
