I dont know about the different models with names, but basically yes, it is in the small example list in the suggestion. It would obviously sit a bit higher in BR (like they allready do in game) maybe around a possible K-Wagen, duo to size, armor and firepower.

I like the idea of WW1, but i would like it to be added in as rank 0, a researchable rank instead of a reserve, just like the french with 3 of their weak tanks.
This opens up possibilities like interwar tanks and so on.

The by me proposed kind wouldnt be a reserve, instead 2 secondary trees (for each nation that had such) of Ground and Air, that can be used as is in a dedicated matchmaker and/or in the normal current one with all the other vehicles.
Some people oppose the addition of WW1 and such soley because they dont want more to research through, instead with this beeing a secondary tree, people can invest time (and maybe money) or not.
(I know maybe this isnt the most moneymaking, especially duo to not forceing the grind, but the most acceptable by the player base.)

I voted no based on how painfully slow and tedious 1 BR is anyway for most of the nations.Most of the vehicles can’t even climb the slopes.
Who wants games in an unmodded WW1 tank on a big map made for modern day?
So many newer players J out at top tier if they have to drive for more than a minute as it is.
Also I was under the impression that nobody but “old men” have an interest in WW2 or history in general for that matter as far as this game is concerned.
I love WW1 planes in reality but how painfully slow is the biplane tier in this game already?

Then you didnt read the suggestion correctly!
As i suggest it NOT at the beginning of the current tree, but as 2 optional secondary trees, to choose from at the top where allready Ground, air, helicopter, and 2 naval is.
Optional, that you can skip it all along even.
And shure tanks are slow, but not the vast amount of Cars and Trucks.

You didn’t read my answer correctly or it’s been a damn long time since you played 1BR.
You really want vehicles even more under powered and slow than those we start with?
Play France and Japan at 1BR then tell me about the fun game you have planned with even worse vehicles.

That part was meant to “who wants to play (…)”
As i sayed above, there are many other vehicles such as trucks that are faster. And many interwar tanks are also faster. This is more of a classic light → heavy, fast → slow situation, with also many trucks to that as well.

I think we are like mined souls in the German armour fanclub for sure but I am only reminding you of this game at it’s lowest tier.Go back as I do to play it and think about taking it all and ramping down a level further.
I do mostly play 1.3-3.0 as i love early tanks, such as Pz IIIs.
I do understand what you mean, but the super slow is pretty much limited to early british and overall french designes, tho they got (with the excpetion to france) quickly faster, most of the slower tanks beyond that are mostly heavyer tanks.
So saying the whole gamemode is slow (true it certainly, as i wrote in the suggestion be laid back, slowe) its not that general, as you will have many trucks and armores cars, many light tanks, medium tanks and fewer heavy tanks that are slow (with exception to french.).

I think we already have much of what could be used as far as tanks go.We have so many good soft skin vehicles missing from WW2.
WW1 planes is interesting but we both know BR will kill the WW1 theme like it has killed the WW2 theme. We simply don’t do history well in this game.Think about the up tier.

it might be a great idea, but it would give France, ussr and germany a massive advantage over the others. Nations like italy, great britain, usa, china, sweden and japan would get completely overwhelmed by their counterpart. Especially france that comes with the b1 bis in 1937 (good luck facing that without 1941 heat germany, or even later swedes apr…). While you get a certain balance at low tier (aside german heat and swede apds that have nothing to do there both historically and gameplay wise), if you have french interwar heavies facing other interwar designs, it will be a massacre. Let’s not forgot the 2.3 br 2c bis is a 1928 design and it lacks a lot of ammo options. There’s no way such gameplay could be introduced without major balancing “tweaks”. In summary, France would completely rule that area of the game, boasting ridiculously high armor and sufficient firepower.

Already exists …called reserve tanks.

I think WT has already sucked up much of the interwar vehicles that may be of use in the game.The B1 is a fine example of a tank that is almost OP in one BR and useless in the tier above.
Already stretching the point.
I could say I would love to fly the DR1, SE5 or Sopwith Camel but would I want to face 20s planes? No I wouldn’t and I know that is how it would pan out if WT tried it.I am already punching the screen when my 6.7 unmodded tanks do 8MPH up hill. I don’t want a game consisting of that entirely.
Ok, where is my reserve K-Wagen then?

There are multiple gun trucks of 7,5-8,8 cm guns that could rather easily deal with a B1 Bis, not to mention some derp guns. And some tanks.
But of course there would be ballancing with an higher Br, or it could be left out in favour of the normal B1 which has 40mm, which would be dealt with by the 7,7 cm Fk 96 n.A. which is the most common german gun in one form or another.
And there isnt “major” reballancing needed, because the way i suggest it, these in Ww1-Interwar would get their own mode and Brs. And a secondary Br for when you take it to the normal Match maker.

only tds would be able to defeat it “easily”, on the other hand, it can destroy anything it faces aside some exceptions. Add to that germany wouldn’t get heat or apcr, and most tanks would have less penetration than 60mm at range (you tell me how i face a b1bis in a t28 or a panzer IV).
True, tho some people could see such as a classic heavy tank playstyle.
Some solutions to such would be:
- Dont add it, instead the B1 with just 40mm
- But at a relatively high Br, were there are more other Powerfull interwar tanks
- idk, loose.
Jokes aside, of course, like in current matchmaking ballancing is important, to see with what it would face.
Allready in normal matchmaking its difficult to ballance, so the best would be to simply leave it out in favour of the B1 with 40mm armor.
