Let’s just ignore the A7V is still practically the only vehicle that can survive 2-3 shots from the Garford (besides another Garford), has a vastly more potent APHE shell than anything the Entente gets, and it only became a problem for Empire players when it started doing the same thing it did to Entente to them…
Yes the A7V is still much better than every other tank. However, I much prefer getting killed by one rather than by a ratty OP truck that has nothing to do in this event at all
Whatever you say. Now your Chamonds and Marks get nuked by german beute trucks, which are zooming though the No Man’s Land with over 30 km/h, with 4 secs releoad lol. But as I said comm is tunnelvisioned to German tanks.

A7V is still king of the mode, but yeah Garford is 2nd place. Then Chamond since it can be one tapped by anything even Garford frontally but it is pretty mobile and has a good gun. Then the Beutepanzer IV since it had the upgraded 5.7 cm guns, then the Mark V since it had the worst guns.
They already got nuked by Beutes beforehand. The fact you’re only noticing it when it’s your tanks getting destroyed is rich.
I agree it should be nerfed in speed, along with the A7V getting its historical non-RHA 20mm of frontal armor.
Finally done with the event. What a pain… I would like this event much more if it was also in Arcade mode.

Definitely gonna be grinding out that German tanker PFP when I get home from work
Hardly, without the speed and terrain modifier buffs you couldn’t to these stunts. Even through deep mud you still do 15km/h or something. You’re behind their spawn in no time. Except another Garford kills you along the way.
I don’t know what mode you’re playing, but my Gargord can barely reach 20 km/h cruising in a long straight line in the no man’s land off-road, more commonly stuck going 12-16 km/h due to the mud and uneven terrain, even further slowed down if I forget to mow down the various obstacles with mg fire.
It is too mobile in general I agree, but the no man’s land is a considerable slowing factor still.
Even without the speed, there are spots in both nations’ spawns that give pretty decent views of the entire map… From a low enough spot you can just artillery snipe from those.
The people running around in the frontlines with it are annoying, sure, but easily dealt with. One you can’t see, in its spawn, using the rangefinder and binocs to their full potential? Damn near impossible to flush out.

24 km/h in no mans land. If you avoid the muddy craters. Trenches, the wooden barricades and barbed wire dont affect you speed. Once you get out of the trench zone, you’re at 36km/m. They can’t track you in chamonts or something like that.
Best position is behind their spawn :)

Final day of the event
I haven’t started grinding yet and considering GE the title.
But It really seems Gaijin was lazy enough to balance the event.
Mark IV/V are still worthless since day 1.
St Chamomd is still one-tapped by everything flys into the frontal armour.
A7V got Nerf twice every day, but it is still the best and solid option if we exclude Garford.
(There is a big difference between getting penned by 76mm Granata and being overpressured by it.)
Gaijin just dropped hilarious buffs to Garford to make this mode balanced.
‘Make only Garford worthy to play.’
I really think day 1 was the best of this event. Ironically.
Germany steamrolled every match with their leopard 2A7V but at least it was filled with WW1 Vibes.
“Great war”??
Change this event’s name to ‘Mad Thunder 2.0’
Same wheeled hellhole with same laziness.
At least I’m glad that the grind wasn’t taken longer than last year.

It is very funny when Mark IV goes 12km/h maximum and can’t cross any trenches
While an armoured car with wagon wheels has no problem passing through.

Because collection? Because not everything is about having the most zooming competitive warmachine? Because they are historical and iconic machines of ww1? Because the visual model is great and already in the game.
I fail to see what would be the negative impact for a player.

Is there any reason to play the Event past getting all vehicles Besides Profil Picture and title?
Not really anymore, the milktruck meta has ruined it for me since yesterday.
It’s a shame, because it really loved it, and I still think it’s one of the best april fools events in years. Especially loved the Fokker D.VII

Something else about this D.VII, as I said it is equipped with an actual engine they were equipped with in WW1, it could be 2 engine types. From what I’ve gathered, this one has the Mercedes D.IIIa engine, while the one in game seems to be a Fokker D.VIIF (with that skin, it’s the one flown by Ernst Udet), which was equipped with a more powerful BMW engine, so performance would even be better

I really think we could get more WW1 and interwar vehicles.
Planes and tanks
We already get ships.
We could also make them better by adding 0.0/0.3/0.7 BR’s and make all of these vehicles like the event vehicles. Separate from the research lines. We also wouldn’t replace the current Reserve vehicles with these vehicles. These would just be for fun. I think enough people would enjoy these vehicles. Some are iconic. Others are just great beauties lost to time like SIAI S. 52. There are a lot of tanks similar to what we got in the event and every nation (well except Israel) could get some. Things like the Fiat 2000 and 3000. FT-17 with Mle. 1937 ammo. The LK II for Germany and Sweden. So many options. So many beautiful planes.
