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.

Tanks . . . don’t even bother. Not that I am against tanks, but true tank vs tank
battles really didn’t even develop until WW II had been going on a while.
But the planes?? . . . . oh my word the number of planes and the air combat
that could be had . . . . it’s phenomenal . . yes please and thank you very much.
Unfortunately, Gaijin has already responded with “Go play Ace Thunder” previously.
(Yeah, all FOUR WW I planes over there . . lol), so . . . I do not see any of this happening any time soon™, if ever. But as far as many are concerned(and I think this includes Gaijin)
If it ain’t modern high tier missile slinging stuff . . . it won’t get any attention anyway.
Just the way things are.
All we can do is ask and hope . . . .(but holding your breath might not be a good idea)

Well, they’re gonna have to do SOMETHING right eventually - because those bad reviews on steam aren’t going away anytime soon, and the more they decide to be “classic ol’ Gaijin” the more other, better devs are going to want to make a better game and steal the market. I would NOT be surprised at all if there’s something already in the works somewhere in the world, so Gaijin might want to get back in gear or call it quits soon.

I did see those, yeah. I would love to see the WW1 event come back, that’d be fun! I’ll have to check out that thread later here.
I would like to see the ground vehicle but not so surr about the air one, they’re usually really slow and bleeds alot of energy even for a bi plane
Exactly. Slow biplanes are what we need; why not throw a challenge at the LvL 100 players that want to play low tier? You can always play a better airplane (and chances are low levels will, so they can just grind to better ones) - but if you want a challenge! Play a low tier Aviatik, and see what you can do. Now that sounds like fun!

I really hope Gaijin brings back more WW1 vehicles, preferably as a permanent addition or at least in a proper event.
The last WW1 event was way too short, and unfortunately I was hospitalized at the time and couldn’t play much. By the time I got out, the event was basically over and I didn’t have enough time to grind or use Golden Eagles to complete the sub-tasks for some of the vehicles. It’s a real shame because I was genuinely excited for them.

I’ve got a suggestion up for the Muromets:
Also like @iegaatdao said I’ve got plenty of suggestions up for WW1 such as the TT expansions, an aircraft version of the 2025 Great War event, and a ton of individual vehicle suggestions.

This is where I think infantry could come into play. If they ever decide to go earlier than the Korean War it could be the perfect place to introduce WW1 tanks since they were mainly designed to support infantry when attacking enemy trenches.
I think that they just prefer drones & helis & tanks & hand held
anti tank rockets/missiles, all guided weapons ofc, to anything
that dates back past the 80’s or 90’s.
Just doesn’t seem like anything added in the last 5 years or so
that is older than that is anything more than a “token gesture”.
I just do not see them devoting the time and/or effort that would
be required to come up with any of that stuff, not anymore.
Let’s face it . . . it’s a modern game now, everything else is just there
because it go to the party early . . . . I hope I am wrong, but . . .

played a bit too much Battlefield 1 eh?
would absolutely love for this to be in game
sure maps would be like 5x5m but idc
worst idea ive ever heard rather them not add them if there just gonna be locked behind a paywall
all WW1 vehicles should be squadrons

Personally I think WW1 should start at 0.0 and only be researchable if you’ve unlocked Rank 2. Like those readded original French reserve vehicles. Though I do think we’d have to shift all BR’s up by at least another 1.0 (so reserve starts at 2.0) to give more granularity.

thats best option but i have no clue if theyll actually do that
You probably could cutout shifting the entire tech-tree up by 1.0 and just use 0.0/0.3/0.7 the current WW1 vehicles are 1.0 anyway. Not ideal, but far less effort involved.
