i can’t be the only one and it makes me sick to my stomach, gaijin has not forseen this.
THe bomber DMs were bad enough now we got a Fw-190 with a cruise missle, that ends games in 2minutes.
All these great changes coming with variable BR for vehicles and it’s all for nothing.
Naval is as dead as possible, even in 5,0 - 6,0 you get 3x BB player each side, that easily dominate 6,0 cruisers.
The Mistels…
Just had a battle 9,0 AB air in my brit line-up - it was over in 2 minutes, cause enemy team killed all our landing ships on this one “fun” map wake island.
This game is broken - there is no escape anymore.
Skill does not matter.
Meta matters, and the matter is as boring as never before with all the mentall weak players taking it, - F3-H everywhere, bombers everywhere in AB making it 2min battles without any chance to defend the objectives.
Does gaijin even realize, what it has become the last few month ?
It will calm down in a week or 2. Everyone is playing them now since they just got them. Play some other BR if it bothers you that much and come back in 2 weeks when it will be normal again.
Even so I saw most Mistels intercepted. Like, unlike plane with a bomb, mistel after separation moves in a straight line, doesnt engage in any defensive manuevers and unlike iron bomb, it is rather large and thus easy to hit.
Its still powerfull bomb, I just dont think its so meta changing.
air AB ?
Most battles are 8 vs 5 Mistels - there is a reason for it, bases are down in no time.
I dunno, what interception you talk about.
The Ju 88 plane goes fast enough to not get intercepted.
Certainly teams do not intercept it or we would not have 2 minutes battles.
THey can choose any target they want, not restricted to bases - ground targets are no problem as well.
It will, but the playerbase remains the same, always abusing new vehicles that are not at the correct BR yet.
It’s sad and honestly, don’t know, if u want to entertain this any longer and no idea, why not more people are completely frustrated by it.
THe change on Bomber DMs…how can you go from 1 shots to 200 high calibre shells into planes and still flying ? it is beyond me.
Oh sorry didnt see the tag, my bad, i saw AB and defaulted to ground arcade battles, feel free to ignore my comment.
Thanks, i appreciate your clarification.
air AB 3,0 to 5,0 is 100% unplayble right now, unless you play the Mistel yourself.
I just got 2 easy “thunderers”.
This is not supposed, how the game is working.
Our first 8!!! players on the team where all in mistels.
It’s a joke.
Yes I am sick too.
For the moment, I am forced to… take a Wyvern and kill as many Wistel as I can and hope the Wistel of my team will win. It means I can, barely have 500 points and 1-3 kills, but a victory. Bye all missions based on base destruction, ground targets destructions, etc… All other bombers are now useless, etc…
I am not convince this rain of Wistels will end completely. It’s an easy 2000 per missions in 6-7 min. Very usefull for the grind based on the mission points.
I play mostly low tier NAB and Mistlels can be a big problem in some matches.
The major issue I see isplayers have learned they can climb high and circle above the fleet where it is virtually immune as many ships lack high angle/altitude AA. Then its repeated and unrealistic vertical dives, with the FW190 rapidly regaining altitude far quicker than any diving conventional bomber. Rinse and repeatat <40s intervals.
Spawn a fighter…giod luck catching that lightweight FW once you’ve finally climbed high enough.
And yes I know it ‘Event Syndrome’ and many will move on in a few weeks, but in the meantime the Mistel has just as bad a score as the Pe-8 used to be befire the ‘arcade easy aim’ changes (maybe worse!)
