I wish someone would add that. I really enjoyed that event. There could be alot of improvements but all in all it was good. Biggest addition would be engineers on the field that could build RPs

I can’t believe they spent that much time developing that and then shelving it after 2 weeks…the business descisions of this company keep baffling me.

This game can EASILY be both Great Wars…imagine how happy players would be. Lone Wolf for WWI, Squads for WWII.

As for 2026 WW1 mode I’m working on a version of it that enhances the original with more stuff in map. More cover, destroyed tanks, sandbags near both factions final trench defence spot, new class types with “new” weapons to the mode.

It’s just further building on what they did, the cover is only required because the original map loads in without 90% of the stuff they had. Buildings for example on that objective is few and far between, and there isn’t any tanks in no man’s land. The sand bags are destructible and only placed so you can see the top 2-3 sandbags and specially placed to not clutter the trenches with more then 7-8 sets of bags. Their would be 2 free classes for rifleman, the original and the new one with a alternative bolt action to gain points. The other classes are smartly tuned down on cost and cost is extended out to other items like infinite pickup smoke grenades costing 25 points (max carry cap of 2) on a few of the objective zones as well as AT mines at 150 points. Addition of a medic class, AT gunner (comes with mine and 1918 by default with 20 reserve AT ammo), and the ability to build more on what made the mode great in future revisions.

That is basically how it went for every April fool event.

Dev already struggle on adding content for WW2, adding a permanent WW1 mode will only worsen the situation. I mean you could already see how underwhelming it is for the last major update since they were busy working on the WW1 event.

True, but if they added WWI technically we would have a new map like expected in an update, along with new game mechanics with gas and gas masks and they could port the WWI tanks over from WT like they did. Since we already have a LOT of the WWI weapons in game it should make it easy.
With that much work for the map and gameplay seems like such a waste…and would complete what should have been in the update…new map, new mechanic and MORE weapons and vehicles.

Should we add the moon warfare, mechs, modern warfare, zombie mode to the main game because they spend a lot of work for it? And tbh those things didn’t go to waste since you can still play them in mods.

Except it is not, this is a ww2 game, the stuff should have been in the update needs to be related to WW2.

And yet 1/4 of weapons are from WWI and another 1/4 are experimental. How does that work into WWII? When devs add lend leased, captured and experimental stuff…it’s because it isn’t balanced.
As for other events with the exception of the moon one…were all on modified current maps, and modern is now WT Infantry…from Korean War on, yet they still have equipment from the great wars.
If games don’t grow, they die…and since WWII was a direct result of WWI, it can have 2 seperate wars and TT in the game…doesn’t mean you have to play it.
If you haven’t been following the buzz around Gaijin, we are probably lucky we got an update at all.

Wish they had kept WW1 as BR0 or as its own, separare campaign (like back in the day with the different theatres of war). A HUGE (!) missed opportunity by the developers:

  • the Enlisted game mechanics work VERY well in the WW1 setting
  • brand new gas mask mechanics was added (great visuals!), WW1 tanks were added
  • NO other F2P title out there that offers a WW1 experience like that
  • a LOT of WW1 weapons are already in´game
  • a LOT of theatres of war are available for WW1 (Eastern Front, Western Front, Middle Eastern Front,…)

…long story short WW1 should really, really be brought back and expanded on! Such a missed opportunity it is staggering… :sob:

Don’t miss it in the slightest, but I’m not opposed to the Dev’s making it permanent for those who do like it. :blush: It should at least be an option for custom matches.

How do you expect a game grow to add another war, when it already struggle on adding stuff for WW2?

That is not the problem, I just don’t want to see every major update become as underwhelming as the last one.
