maybe it has to do with how much the fight lasted?
Edit: meanwhile that F-16 that i have to grind the missiles … if i don’t break my screen today, i don’t know.
I can literally retain 0 deaths if i want to very easily, making kills with that nose authority and the play style of an electric car in traffic is another story…
I really hope this gamemode stays in the game. It plays really differently from all other gamemodes and this way you get to play modern jets without getting absolutely spammed with 100000 missles. I like playing with missles as well, but dogfighting like this is way more enjoyable. Loved every second playing it (except for people crashing into your dead body after being crippled by you and not giving the kill…)

This is the best event I’ve seen war thunder throw out there so far.
Why is it only here for two days in the middle of the week though, give us the weekend at least…
Why must you fail even when you do good 😭

Just as I was getting my hopes up for F-16A finally becoming a relevant aircraft.
I dont play over cold war era, so 9.0 max, the ammount of times im on an enemies 6, and a friendly guns me down because theyre greedy is not even funny

I am very dissapointed. If you are not in gripen, rafale, typhoon or f-16 you are not going to do much. There is no time to think if you get into bad situation and all you can do is just boom’ n’ zoom and third party people. Just an example of gaijin trying to come up with something new by making what literarly anyone can make in custom match with couple buddies. I expected this would be a Guns only mode in Air RB maps and thats it.
Can’t say I didn’t have good time playing it its a nice change of pace not having to worry about missiles but it got boring and repetitve fairly quickly for me.

I only play 8.0 tops, and even then only in uptiers. Stuff beyond early postwar jets really doesn’t interest me.
The core gameplay mechanics didn’t even fit the likes of the F-86A and MiG-15 when those were the only top tier aircraft. It’s only gotten worse as more stuff was thrown in haphazardly.

I believe i can do WAY better in anything that isn’t F-16…
It’s like driving an electric car and i hate electric cars.
You know what i see very good (and i expected it) …i don’t have it to play with though?
F-18…
EDIT: I played first time my Thai39C. Exactly like i imagined, i did WAY better than with F-16A Netz.
I’m not saying what’s better because they play differently.
This 97 year old pilot guns people down the old fashioned way

Also people should understand they have 3 spawns… don’t leave after you die…
8/10 games players leave when they die 1st spawn…even if the team wins…

fun, great for stock aircraft but still some issues.
- Maps are so small that saying at mach and just bnz’ing anyone who tries to turn after a teammate works too well for dogfighting to really happen
- spawns are too close, i had a guy literally behind me upon spawning (died shortly after)
new UI for battles is nice as it’s more of a deathmatch mode for sure
hmm fair enough.
I quite like the cold war jets, sabres and mig15s. It feels like mid tier props just faster. You can still get into those amazing dog fights where youre barely getting guns on target while spiraling around each other.
Late props gets shafter to early jets and i dont like the get boom and zoomed unless someone is stupid enough to take a fight with you gameplay. Same with early jets, theyre too slow.
4.3-5.7 and 8.0-9.0 are what i really enjoy playing. Even then you dont get those amazing dog fights regularly, your whole team chases the first plane that gets spotted and just give away their advantage or your whole team sticks behind you shooting over you at the guy youre engaging, so you have to try and hit him, while avoiding friendly fire.

disable radars, so guns can’t predict impact point, real bullet hell
