After playing higher br Advance and Nuclear escalation I just cannot play the game anymore. Launching into a match of Air RB or Ground RB since playing those modes feels hollow and soulless. Actually getting to play a lengthy full match with players not just leaving after a single death has completely spoiled my enjoyment of the standard game. Outside of getting my activity points for the 3 day reset I haven’t touched the game longer than I’ve had to. I hope the modes return shortly and more similar modes are created.
Anyone else feel this way?

quite the game and come back in september when they gonna release the mode.
You should post that here New Run of Nuclear Escalation! but yes, I feel the same way. I’m hoping they’ll put out Nuclear Escalation faster than the expected release schedule at October.
Its more about both modes really. Nuclear Escalation had a rocky start but its starting to really come into its own. Advance is great because of the 5 lives, people actually respawn and play a full match instead of 1 death leaving. Back to the bog slop standard is just miserable.
Air RB has always been a really shitty deathmatch promoting horrible practices like running with nearly no fuel and missile spam. CAS is completely useless and base bombing does nothing for the match, just a pathetic game mode when you really look at what it is. Nuclear Escalation finally brought a reason to run CAS and take out ground targets, to actually target and sink ships, a reason to get the true air experience really.
Ground RB in theory is okay but 40-50% of your team are only running a single tank completely fucking over your teammates running a full lineup. The fact nothing has been done all these years is shameful really, Gaijin absolutely deserves every bit of criticism. Advance is the first mode to slightly throw this horrible ground RB concept on its head. 5 Respawns and objectives that ACTUALLY matter has completely changed the game for me. It feels like right until the very end the intensity doesn’t stop which is great.
All in all, the new modes feel more like a real game to me and not the current vehicle collector game with gameplay second to collecting. I do hope the trend of new modes like this continue, and we get a return to the early 2013 style matches. Matches where there was an actual goal to work towards in a game, not the bland symmetrical slop modes that are standard with the game currently.
