Another suggestion approved

have you done one for a7v or are you planning ?

I’m only really planning on doing aircraft since they have the bigger chance of being added.

But if you want a suggestion for the A7V then you should make one, I was surprised by how easy it can be to make suggestions for the aircraft.

I love the idea but Gaijin would kill it with the up tier. Gaijin show no respect for WW2 so why would WW1 be any different?

Here me out Zeppelins (Not for players to fly) It could be a bad ass area to fight around especially since planes had such low caliber rounds they weren’t easy to shoot down. I’m imagining the match starts the fighters drop from the zeppelins close to each other and the players just go buck wild on each other.

This is War Thunder is general. So many mouth watering scenarios slaughtered by Gaijin’s clumsy and old BR system.You know how this whole WW1 thing will turn out,we all do but so many of us live in a forum based world of imagination that is shattered as soon as you get into the game proper.

Once again, it’s not that difficult to implement a game mode similar to “Helicopter Enduring Confrontation”, but only for WW1 planes, and give them their separate tree. No, it probably won’t fit the combined battles (even though, if a PO-2 can participate, why not a WW1 plane, right ?). There are plenty of choices.

The difficulty to me is choosing where to stop. Would it be exclusively 1914-1918 ? Or would prototypes created during the war and put into service only in the 1920’s or abandonned be viable, like the AEG DJ bombers or the Nieuport nid 29 ? IF so, why not do the entire interwar ? Ultimately, it’s Gaijin’s choice. But as Smin said, “never say never”.

It shouldn’t be should it ? So many things that re missing in this game shouldn’t be that difficult yet here we are 13 years in and still begging for them.

I think our expectation would soon be shattered as soon as you go up against a 20s plane in your Fokker DR1

Ideally yes, in Gaijin world who knows?

It seems like I came onto this forum to be a miserable pessimist 😊 .Every post has been a forum dreamer suggesting this and that and me just applying the reality of Gaijn and what the game is, over what it could or should be .Makes me look really negative😜.
I’m really not but I have spent 4 years asking for what seems like pure common sense and I have come to learn that is is not the war Thunder way and actually never has been even in the supposed “Good old days”.

They love to talk history ,they love to make historically accurate vehicles but they never made a game out of it.

Yes we all want those brightly colored planes flying over the muddy trenches or amid the airships or flak but you and I know it will never happen or Gaijin will murder it by doing it badly or paywalling it to death.

Don’t worry mate, we all have gotten the blues at one point or the other talking about this game. I joined the forum in 2017 to make suggestion for French boat and boy, has that been a frustrating ride. Still, at one point I was absolutely convinced I would never see any French coastal ships, and years later, here it is. So yeah, never say never. But there will always be a golden rule, that’s for sure.

Gaijin does whatever they want. And as long as there won’t be any competition that tries to offer the same kind of game, they will revel in their system without worry.

I agree that if/when these WW I planes(a tank mode is really not needed as we have no infantry) are implemented, it should be separate from what is in game now.
And I even have difficulty imagining “ground pounding” with aircraft of that era, even tho a good many bombers/attack aircraft have been proposed.

I really only see some good “dogfighting” scenarios and also the possibility of that becoming stale and redundant at some point.

Currently there are issues where the older, interwar bi-planes have to face, single wing fighters with far better armament(20mm’s vs 7.62 rifle calibre? how can anyone believe this is ever fair or an “even playing field”?) And this is scattered about all up & down the tech trees with overlapping “eras” already. And frankly, I don’t see how anyone can approve of or enjoy these things. Well, except those using the vehicles with the distinct advantage ofc . . . lol

But honestly, adding any of the WW I planes into the current system is a recipe for disaster and would clearly take away any of the “joy” these planes have to offer. The majority of the planes being considered should never see any of the planes already in game, except on the tarmac . . . that’s just my opinion tho.

Yes, I want very much to see these planes, maybe not all, but at least some fighters, implemented into the game. No, I would not like to see them just mashed into the current tech trees and handled as other planes have always been dealt with. I find them utterly unique and not in the same realm as what we already have . . . so should not be treated in the same manner.

And as for the polls on the suggested planes, too many questions and they are “leading”. Only two questions should be asked:
Do you want these planes in the game?
Added to current tech tree or a separate WW I segment?
No need for “speculative” BR guessing, no one can even remotely place any accurate BR’s to something not even in the game, that part is a waste of time.

Let’s get them in game, figure how we can use them and have fun with them.
Keep it simple . . . ez pz

People on here still talk immersion and imagination when the game runs on balanced pixel shapes. Spending time on the forum discussing what could be is probably more interesting than playing the game

The problem is they pretty much take the smallest things that can easily be implemented thats why they’ve added like 20 variants in the past 1-2 years as event vehicles.
