Bullet Hell: The Old Fashioned Way!

Reading this I got vibes of the “big guns” (or “big calibre”?) Air events of waaaaaaaay too long ago…

Edit: “Large Calibres” … I looked it up, this is an example : [Event] “Large Calibres” and "Enduring Confrontation" - News - War Thunder

even mentions Air RB EC… double nostalgia…

lol so USA can’t participate with their best dogfighter (12.3 F-16A block 10) but japanese F-16AJ (12.7) and Netz can despite being the same exact planes without missiles

AJ is not Japan’s best dog fighter, but it’s a close 2nd.
But I agree locking out the F-16A is a bit rude.

It was “OK”

1. Ammo Refill Not Communicated Clearly

  • When the player runs out of bullets, there’s no clear message telling them where to go for a refill.
  • You only discovered the refill point by searching for the airfield manually.

2. Death Count / Lives Not Shown

  • There’s no indication of how many lives or deaths are allowed.
  • The player cannot track how close they are to losing or how many attempts remain.

3. Ammo Refill Text Appears Randomly

  • The UI text about ammo refill sometimes appears even when it’s not relevant.
  • This can confuse the player and break immersion.

Improvement Ideas

Clear indication of who is currently ahead (highlighting, a glow, or a crown icon)

To make score updates more satisfying and noticeable:

  • Add a quick pop-up animation when a score increases
  • Change color briefly (e.g., turn bold for 0.3s when updated)
  • A small sound effect
    This improves clarity and player excitement.

Yeah… Still, I’ll take it

The question is… bring flares or not?
Those who know get it…

Event?? it should be a game mode and why did release it on the same day as the R400 event?

Why didn’t you put this limited time air event in the gap between start events 2 days ago? Instead you made it overlap with a ground star event.

Most fun i’ve had in a while! Please just leave this in as a permanent fun mode

Sad that flares are auto-removed tho :c

Just like the others above, I also support permanently introducing a new game mode for AB, RB, and SB. I even propose that these should simply be regular random battles without any guided bombs or rockets.

You don’t have any planes with guided “rockets” or bombs tho. How would you know if guns only is better?

Please make this event permanent. IMO, it’s dirty to have to play this event and ground battles for R400 event at same time.
