Me and my friends were doing this over the weekend in big lobby’s. One of us would fly the F15E and the other 2 escort in the F16C. We did it because it was fun and made sim more challenging. Not everyone bombs for score.
Edit ingore this i’m stupid you were talking about zombers
Yeah, my go to is NRB for SL farming and its rare, usually after a new aircraft is added, but i’ll have to do a few matches in NRB before I can jump back into ASB.
Yeah, this made me rather mad. Its one thing what they normally do to farm events, but this really annoyed me
Yeah, its needed. SB is inherrently hard and you get a lot of people dying when they are learning to play for the first time. So needs to be some grace period (Perhaps also include a 1 minute grace period where if you suicide 1 min after taking off, you dont get that penalty at all)
Yeah, bombing is fine.
bombing an AF is fine
Bombing an AF and then J-out or suiciding for instant reset to go again… is a bit of a grey area and probably should be considered an exploit.
I quite enjoy tossing bombs at an AF in the Tornado.
I have escorted my teammates many of times, when i grinded France i protected//CAS a10s and f111s, for pretty much the entirety of my time grinded France, so we would always win the match. Very fun.
The issue is the time it takes to fly out and bomb in a f15e then J out immediately afterwards, and rinse and repeat.
YEP… not very common but it happens. Also will teach people the hard way on ripping wings LOL.
I just tested it in sim, fully loaded f15e, in Spain, got to their spawn in 3 mins.
Yeah, though not overly unique to the F-15E. Typhoon is probably faster, but doesnt carry quite as many weapons nor can they be released from as far.
But SB maps are too small and they have been for the past 1.5 years imo
Bigger maps for BR 13.3 - 14.0 could also help with this as well, or maybe bigger maps for BR 14.0+ and beyond.
I feel the point where I kinda wish I had bigger maps starts about 11.0 and grows a lot stronger past 12.0
also fuel becomes an issue with bigger maps. i suggested in-flight refueling plane to oxy but she didn’t think it would be very different than going back to spawn.
Even with a doubling of maps sizes, its just not needed and would be a nightmare for people to camp and kill people as they tried to hook up.
Already happens enough with Carriers.
But a greater emphasis on fuel management would be nice, very rarely do I ahve to think about it
Either way, I think the first step is 256x256km maps let alone basic things like carriers are still a buggy mess and the entire gamemode hasnt been updated in years.
So… lets get the core gamemode fixed first and then re-evaluate A2A refueling later
Now all I want to do is jump onto only Asian servers to explictly farm zombers. I dont even care about this event and im not even grinding it
agreed. just a little time penalty would be wonderful.
What plane are you flying? I have tried this F-15E zombing before, but the map is sooo small that you can almost always find the enemy and send some fox-3 missiles before he get close enough to bomb. It’s really not a reliable tactic when the lobby is populated.
Let’s wait until GM Schindibee replies. But I think J-out in this way only for saving time won’t be forbidden, since it’s just the same as F-111A suicide rocketing airfield which has been going on for years.
PVE mustvbe eleminated.
But tbh, F-15E isnt best plane for such thing
people do this with the f-4’s and f-111’s with rockets, no one complains. people with the f-15’s and dude trying to get easy kills gets upset he cant get kills and complains its cheating.
Camp near the enemy airports, see them take off and shoot them down, its not that hard.
The events are drawn out so people find the best way to get it done. If i can spend less than two hours every other day to get the required rp then im going to take the path of least resistance. I had the f-14 coupn done by star 3 with the rockets and an f-4. I got shot down, it happens, but i did get some matches where i never got shot down other than the spaa of the base.
Not grinding this event as the only cool thing about the new f-5 is the paint. if i really want it i can grab it for like 18 GJC on the market.
They always have the option to create PvP rooms and invite PvP players to join. PvE players won’t stay in these rooms. But they don’t do it. Why?
One reason is that the number of true PvP players isn’t large enough to sustain this activity.
Another reason is that constantly fighting against equally skilled or better players can be exhausting. These are the words of some of those players.
Hence, they are seeking for PvE rooms for easy kills.
Gaijin has announced the development of AI. I really hope that one day, simulator mode will offer engaging gameplay focused on using different weapons in various scenarios with an interesting storyline, rather than just the simple PvP deathmatch we have now.
Any toptier can gain the same alt, bombing isnt somthing bad, the problem is that wvery one flyes low and those who are hight have advantige.
J ing aith out a rasone is bad but only thing that might solve it is giveing punishment after maby 3th J ing out… but about bombing airfields and flying hight isnt anything bad.
1- That’s not exploiting.
2- Sweden and China are the only tech trees without Su-27SM, F-15C/E, Typhoon, or Rafale climb rate.
3- Su-34 can do this same thing with more bomb load.
