Nah dude you guys are crazy. ASB AA is absolutely fine (not). Airfield bombing is an intended game mechanic, and it’s already horrible enough to engage on that with the way ItOs work.
I noticed yesterday that there are no zombers in the event, is this because of the IoO 90M ?
Why didn’t gaijin put them sooner ? It made no sense that people could attack airfields without making SEAD before.
I’m doing it A2A, but the people with more points in my team were usually destroying ground units.
So wonderfull not seeing 75% of people suiciding non stop against the airfields.
Not even AGM’s can kill those bastards. Funny thing is that i’ll still be spawn camped in lower BR’s but god forbid me being able to finish the grind in a small amount of time instead of dedicating my life to the event.

They should bring the ItOs down to 10.3 at least. It’s too easy to get above the enemy airfield and rain missiles on players taking off.
Then spawn on a different airfield if that extremely rare occurrence takes place? Bringing ItOs down to that BR will kill airfield bombing gameplay for it.

I was the one raining missiles down on enemies taking off and they could do nothing about it lol
you can respawn in another airfield, by which point I 1) already got the kill, and 2) am nowhere to be found
What BR should you encounter Ito90s in sim?
ITO 90 Appropriate BR placement
- 11.0
- 11.3
- 11.7
- 12.0

Right, so let’s take away an entire PvE mechanic from players because you figured out a PvP exploit that’s barely ever been heard of. Makes sense.
11.7 would be a great BR since that’s where you start getting decent guided munitions to deal with AA.
There’s been times where I’ve paired up with an A-10C to eliminate airfield defenses and clear the way in to bomb modules, which was pretty fun and interesting gameplay.

What happens with the AGM-65B of the A-10A and the Kh-25/29 from the Su-25 ?
I thougt that was very decent, unlike the As-20, AGM-12B and other munitions below 10.7 …
“barely ever heard of” and it involves just cruising at my leisure directly above the enemy where the rolands can’t hit and gepards are out of range, because gaijin decided to use a model of Roland that can’t elevate above like 45deg
and currently that “pve mechanic” is being exploited by F-111A users and others to suicide rocket/bomb airfields since actually playing the game is super hard

Have you tried using those against ItOs? Because they’ll all get intercepted with the way logic is set up.
So again, because of some cheesing (also, zombing will yield players negative SL, so it’s their loss) you want to make airfield bombing, an intended core PvE mechanic of Sim, practically impossible at those BR brackets?

Then you should ask for that to be fixed, not removing ItOs at those BRs
There is a lot of people bombing airfields during the event, many matches you can’t even join because it’s imposible to spawn, and some are doing it with 10.7 planes like the Q-5L
But it’s much better than past events, now it requires some skill, you don’t see people diving onto the airfield and not dying until they almost crash on the ground, was so ridiculous

That isn’t realistic or practical since that AI logic appears to be universal across all gamemodes, and munition interception is intended by the devs for Nuclear Escalation.
So you are criticizing people for engaging in an intended core PvE gameplay mechanic. Okay.
How about you just intercept them if you don’t want your airfields to be bombed?
Also, if people are so worried about not having airfields, a way to mitigate a good chunk of cheesing would be to simply have the repair module come active as soon as any module is hit, and not only when the repair module itself is hit.
This way, airfield bombing cheesers cannot farm on a single airfield endlessly (which does happen), as they will have to kill the repair module first to actually get any meaningful progress done (since a good chunk of score comes from module destruction). It also buys time for interceptors to get to work.

SL has never been easier to come by, who cares? They are purposefully bypassing the intended gameplay loop.
IMO airfields shouldn’t even be a target
but outside of that, you can still bomb airfields at higher tiers, it just requires some planning and knowledge of the threats you’re facing instead of being literal zombies
great, go intercept the plane that can sit at or near your top speed, with MAWS and more than enough flares, with your interceptor that might not even have radar missiles lol
the minimum acceptable is bringing something like FlaRakPz Roland w/ Roland 3s which can elevate all the way up to shoot them down
