War Thunder: The Great War!

Played the Garchomp-Beute on AB. Got 8 kills. They can do pretty well since all you’re facing are reserve tiers.

lol what? What “strange” HE gun is the biggest on the battlefield, and also doesn’t 1 tap most things unless you bring full ammo.

What’s even stranger is your argument, as both sides have the vehicle.

If we are talking balance, the A7V needs to get hit by a truck, the German side must have a 90% wr by now.

I don’t think a single match I played today was won by germany, lok

gotta ask: why are you so obsessed on winning? It gives nothing toward event prizes…

You must be either lying or throwing.

Lol 1 look at the queue and you can tell where the stomping is going.

Your point is also fair, we don’t need to be concerned about victory too much about this event.

but too much broken balance is annoying not just for winning but even affecting the grind for the event.
For example, Day 1 was annoying shitstorm because entente can do basically nothing.

And losing streaks are boring and annoying. Innit?

Not lying or throwing either, first four matches i did were entente all victory finished the task

Then i had 5 or 6 games in Germany to finish the task, lost all of them, although i was in the top 5 and the only reason we lost was capture points

After that i played a few more matches but i either didn’t finish them or wasn’t paying attention

Show your screenshots or stop lying.

Idk if people already anwsered it because i’m a bit late to the party. But they’ll come eventually when the new update drops.

I agree that they would have been cool to get with the event, but we will get them a bit later on. Probably wasn’t a match for the current reserve/1.0 or something along those lines.

Anyways, sorry if this was already anwsered. Hope you have a great weekend!

Honestly I played a few matches & couldn’t really bother anymore. It’s nice in theory but I think it was executed poorly.

Chamond still gets one shot whilst having horrible firing angles and looking like the magic school bus with zero chance of not being spotted.

It really is telling that even in this perfectly confined match, with a single map and only 5 vehicles to balance, they still cannot do it.

No excuses about map rotation or the amount of vehicles involved, this is an event with handpicked vehicles, map, setting, spawn zones and they still cannot even come close to creating something remotely balanced.

That’s true, but players queue not so much for the winning side, but for the OP side (granted, all other things being equal OP = winning). A few years ago there was a Kursk event where the Germans got Tigers and all sorts of stuff with 88s, while Russians got T-34s and other Kursk-era vehicles; German team was 12 players and Russian was 16. In Ground Sim the Russians almost always won (provided the extra players provided airpower), but ‘everyone’ was queueing for the German side. It was good to play Russians - no queue and mostly wins; I liked it and I assume the German players did too, as they certainly queued for it.

The skewed win rate in this WW1 event is not really a problem in itself, as winning is largely irrelevant, but the reason for that skewed win rate - one OP vehicle - is a problem… a problem that would have been noted after the first test game - had there been one.

the strength. It’s leaning way too much.
YES, I know that i did lean a little irl but not that much, look at any photo or footage of it and you’ll see

That’s not how it’s supposed to be, the suspension is not supposed to make a V shape

Did the server hamster die? I kept teleporting for a few minutes and just got kicked from the match. It was very weird XD

Because they have their own german made ammo?

can’t believe it. Day 3 and the balance is even worse then before.
The A7V is a bit more vulnerable sure, but now you have to deal with dozens of Garfields that can one shot all Entente vehicles, are almost invisible and take 10 shells to die.

I’d rather get killed by an A7V, that was actually on the western front than by that thing that never saw a tank in its life.

If you REALLY need to have a russian vehicle because of bias then let it in the Entente but remove it for the germans, they already have enough OP vehicles

Worst event ever in this game. Not really difficult to imagine to what extent does Gaijin not care about War Thunder.

lmao I did that like 3/4 times, killing zeppelins with the armored truck is very easy

Did a little test with the suspension of the Chamond, and it does need a bit of fixing :

When at a full stop the suspension is ok and as it should be.

When simply driving straight forward the front collapses for no reason.

Stop again, and the suspension raises a little, but not back to “default”.

Shoot the machine gun, and it goes back up completely but i can’t explain why.

That’s a lot of pictures and the differences might not be obvious, it would look better in a video, but do the test for yourselves and you’ll notice that the difference is quite big in game

To be fair the Chamond literally can’t move at the speed it can in the event mode.
