Air events today turned way more time consuming - due to ARCADE bomber nerf! (update: change was taken back)

Chuds who, quote, unquote, defend racism and homophobia as “but it’s true”

make this game unplayable.

Alas, I cannot quote it properly.

I want to play an objective oriented game mode in a pseudo-historical context on the eastern front/pacific theatre/battle of britain/late-war western europe. Last I checked, there’s no tournaments around enduring confrontation.

I also don’t want gunboat ju-288s whizzing past.

Any future score based event or score based task will be affected, as you can no longer generate high score that way.

ah
well i guess you have to play jet now

THIS is bomber SCORE changes in arcade! If you can contribute something, even observation of reduced scores in realistic, fine, tell us. BUT it isn’t about RP generation, it is about SCORE.
And in arcade, bombers win matches if fighters go pew pew, so these bombers get less score for winning the match.

When did it change anyways? I made like 40k last night bombing in air Arcade.

I dare say you never made 40k SCORE in air arcade. If you top 10k score, you had a good game.
You still confuse RP with score. You need SCORE for events!

I think it changed today.

Bombing still has lower score. ~5-700 points/base. Getting 3 air kills is about 2000 in RB. If you’d rather people talk ONLY about arcade, properly tag your post and mention it in the OP before people start discussing. You edited the very emphasized “arcade” in after.

Wake up on your pony farm! Bombing in arcade can create like 10k+ score. That is why you would want to do that in events. Try some math on this! 2000 point is a laughable minimum wage. Even with boni.

Yes, I emphasized it later, but arcade was in there before. And you are fine to bring changes in bomber score in realistic too, in case they reduced that too. But no one in his right mind would use that score in realistic to do events quickly, even before the nerf. It is the wrong mode for bombers.

Great so now instead of doing the event in like an hour, I have to spend more like 6 hours. Thanks gaijin, what a good change!

In the past, I participated in events to “finance” premiums and other stuff in game. With the change of the event system to rotating score events, that is gone. I never could be bothered to earn that much score to make a non-premium sellable. Especially, since there was still the battle pass, where you could make premiums sellable. I only took part in the air events after the change. Sometimes I got naval by accident. I don’t needed a third “SMS Bayern”, it just happened. With air, I usually participated. This time, I didn’t want to, but ended up with the award or so close to it, that I took out the bomber and got the remaining point in a mission or two.
I see it the same as you:

I guess I won’t bother about most air events from now on.

You’re posting in the ARCADE section of the forum and you still want to be informed that the thread is about Arcade? Really?

One of the reasons this forum became pointless is that every thread is raided by RB players giving their useless RB opinions in Arcade. At least, stay on topic!

To those that were praising score based events in the past and are now finding out how they really are, some players in this forum warned about this being much more time consuming than task based events. Not only that, in score based events you basically compete not only against your enemy but against your own team for the score. Adding to that Gaijin brought multipliers that made players that enjoy Arcade and WW2 vehicles play them with a huge disadvantage. Not to mention the constant nerfs in how score is rewarded, not just on this game mode but in others.

I used to enjoy playing events but honestly most are not worth the time now. And considering how much event vehicles have been selling in the Gaijin Market, it’s better to buy them directly than to waste so much time playing them for 2 weeks or more.

It was tagged under general. You can edit the tags.

It was moved to arcade. I wanted it to be about events but moderation changed it. So he is right about that.

That however was a problem from the start, as many people don’t seem to grasp what score is.

This is what the trend seems to be. The bread basket is moved higher and higher. Way more score if you want to sell, but also effectively if you want it for yourself. So if bombing no longer provides score, wait for the return of campers in low tier.

Still OP told others, including to you, that this thread was related to Arcade. But even after that some of you kept talking about other RB and even SB related stuff, not to mention the off topic crap that no one cares.

Braindead bombing to farm points for an event nerfed? splendid

You needed a lot more knowledge for it than required to dive for red cloud. Now you get the same score, no matter what. So more brain dead TDM and newbie clubbing. Splendid!

@Dodo_Dud Not exactly about bombing, but it looks like they slashed score across the board.

IDK about arcade, but in realistic (not sim), the more bombs in your loadout, the less score/rp/sl you recieve per base. Are you sure you arent expierencing this?

Try bringing only enough bombs for a single base and see if that solves your issue.
