when it flops maybe theyll give us WW1 planes
Perhaps do the smallest possible search to find out??
People think the game is dead because we’ve heard nothing about it for ages. Before their last news post it was 4 months of nothing.
I want the airship.
i want the prop the Fokker DVII it had a amazing design being able to hang on its prop similar to how a SU30 can hover in place it couldnt do it forever but for a period of time it could

Damn!
How extensive was Japanese WW1 aviation?
Half-joke, half not joke topic. While I do know that many WW1 vehicles would struggle against even some of the lowest tier tanks in the game - especially just about any SPAA fielding something bigger than a maxim MG - I also think that they offer an excellent and fun challenge into the game, and even help to “level the playing field” when you’ve got level 100 basement dwelling gooner failures (me fr) fighting fresh, virgin new players who accidentally installed the game.
So why not throw in a few WW1 vehicles in a pack for $25, and call it a day? Would they be awful machines? Absolutely. A WW1 Albatross probably won’t like fighting Gladiators, a Gotha bomber is probably going to end up great target practice for the M16 on the ground, and a Renault FT is… also good target practice for that same M16. But it WILL be absolutely a challenge to win in them, and either way, they will either die horribly or win gloriously. And you don’t even need classified documents for them.
And just LOOK at these paint schemes. Just the Fokker they added for April Fool’s is an angel on the wing, and look at the paint on that Albatross. Or that lovely SPAD.
I like the Central Powers fighters a little more, but you get the picture.
Or the WW1 vehicles, they’re pretty neat too - and absolutely ridiculous too. Gun wagon Flakpanzer A7V? Yes, please. Mark I Gun Carrier with a 5" Gun? That looks like fun, doesn’t it? Or about this wretched abomination from the Empire of Ma- the United States of America, the Holt Gas-Electric?
Please, Gaijin. Give us more dumb WW1 vehicles, it’s a great idea, I swear.

Even Italy can recieve WW1 vehicles too, such as the Fiat 2000.
And the number of aircraft are simply enormous.
But yeah, WW1 vehicles are goated to play around without clubbing lvl 10 into oblivion.
Sadly I don’t believe we’ll see another event, with stuff like h.p.12 elevators still being inverted after +1 year, ehhhh, not a lot of chances.

Interwar Italy could bring a ton of stuff, especially in terms of planes.

The Fiat 2000! Yes, please! Maybe even give WW1 tanks some economic bonuses, so that there’s incentive for high-LVL players to use them over other low tier tanks? Could help to give new players a natural edge over the high level losers that like beating new players like unwanted stepchildren, like me.

if you really want to be in a stinkbox, you could wish for the FT-17 (same cannon FCM 36 but with no armor and even less mobility).
- very historically important.

Absolutely. It would be the best of worst vehicles, and worthy of the ultimate challenge in low tier.
Would become the second british Rank I TD btw, just beaten by the alecto I.

Also - if we want some Russian Bias, we get this monster - the huge Ilya Muromets! Now you want Russian Bias, THAT is Russian Bias! One of the biggest bombers of it’s time short of a zeppelin!

Try to support them as always, WW1 is just that historically important since people just didn’t know what to do or what did the vehicles had to look like.
dozens of unique models completely different from one another.
And that’s just WW1, creep a little forward and early interwar periods becomes even more insane.
