13.0 planes banned from AAA ( Assault. Air Arcade). Why?

No coincidence they made the 13.0 modification grind absolutely awful, and then banned from AAA

Do you think we could get an official explanation of the reasoning behind this change? a change of this magnitude that wasn’t listed in the changelog and breaks with established precedent is somewhat inconvenient.

The answer is obvious. They made the stock grind impossible in PVP and banned the planes from PVE so people will have to spend GE.

They took the time to do this after the update but they left 6.7 playing with 12.7. I mean come on guys do better!

Nothing has been said or done with this mode in years at this point. It’s a symptom of the current business model sadly. SaD update being a prime example. Large amounts of premium vics, and large amounts of copy-paste to focus on attracting new players to buy top tier premiums with no focus what so ever on long term player retention. Things like Assault modes are left for their code to rot.

Man these game devs shafted stock/not 100% meta planes so much in the last update that people are literally playing pve rather than trying to unlock things in random battles 😭😭😭😭

Good luck getting a response, I have tried a multitude of times in regards to the entirety of the lack of attention to the assault arcade battle modes, and frankly unless a violation is made, they most likely will not respond let alone give us transparent feedback from the dev. team.

In terms of the changes they are making, despite their ideals about trying to be better at communication and making changes without even so much as a note in the changelogs, it is still happening.

As others have mentioned, the intent behind their actions is derived towards garnering more purchases rather than providing a better experience for those that dedicate their time within the game. I have seen countless new player accounts within around 1-20 lvls that have handfuls of premium/pack vehicles.

When I was checking out bug reports for this issue it Seems there’s a moderator who is closing some of the reports about this intentionally. QA_SHADbI4 #58751500 is their ID. Any Ideas on how to report an Employee who’s actions are going result in creating a bad blood situation like what happened around summer last year?

Creating bad blood is in their job description I think, based on what I’ve seen.

Yes the moderators on the bug report forums are incompetent and this is far from the first time they have shown it.

Hey @Smin1080p care to confirm? Is it intentional on Gaijin’s part that the grind should be made even worse, or are these moderators lying to us?

This is indeed a very bad decision, I don’t get why ground doesn’t have limit but Air does.
I just want to play my plane in a chill way, being stock is boring and suffering. Let us have fun…

1 year late: still no reply for Gaijin… nor any change in perspective.

Here we are coming into another major update soon, and still have things like a kikka, me 262, f84, etc alongside F/A-18C Early, etc…

The situation only gets worse…

Idk why we cant get segmented higher tiers, ecen to include for instance 13+

Well there was similar topic on RU forums and mod closed it with “follow the news”, that’s all.
Would be great if we could have any clarification on this point tho

Interesting, I guess we will see what is meant by this, but won’t be shocked if nothing becomes of it rather than just to close the post. I wish the mods were more communicative in our forums in regards to things such as this, as it only mitigates any dialogue the devs claim to have with community other than their modified ‘polls’, but… here we are still…

heh, figures… who knows what the heck is going on then.
