I even had ItO intercept my amraams fired at enemies or bots not to mention any guided bombs/agms
killing one is a miracle
No, I’m just saying that your complains are not true, I’m ok on how it’s not, it requires skill, not like the zomber situation on the past, people didn’t even learn SB.
What I don’t like is the trick they are using to get more score when bombing the airfields, that implies suiciding, I don’t think suicide and respawn is intended PvE …
That’s shit, but doesn’t surprise me, tipical snail bullshit, they brag about realism, then misiles can be easily intercepted with A2A and SAM misiles intended for planes.
cool so we nerf the best event farming method but for what? sim players could just change lobby or kill zombers
it literally didnt impact their gameplay at all
and now we have zombing equivalents in mig21/mig23/… in ARB bombing base and dying instantly
I think you mentioned it yourself in this sentence: Farming.
There’s not only Event Farming, but also the potential for Account Farming, and fighting that possibility is maybe what that change aimed at, I assume.

zombing was completely useless for account farming, it yields you no rewards other than mission score
account farmers are far better off just buying a single premium and grinding RB like they always did
the only account farming exploit there was zombing related was the killing planes on airfield for which they got banned and we got the patch with no rewards for kills on airfields

Replace ItO 90M to SA-2 which is more annoying

It doesn’t matter which side you are on Denmark I’ve had bases right next to airfields North or South
This kind of criticism is what led to Sim having garbage rewards, a decaying player count and will only result in a worse grind for everybody.
You realize that when you attack “farmers”, you make the gameplay/rewards for normal players 10x worse right? A trickle down effect happens and these players are impacted the most.

If you’re using several bot accounts that spawn just to get killed by your aircraft, you are not engaging in fair gameplay but purposefully abusing accessibility just to pad account stats either to sell something or for personal stat ego.
Hell if you’re coordinating in the match to not fight other actual players and shaming ones that are, YOU are the reason that Gaijin took the piss-poor easy route and nerfed everything economy-wise in Sim.
Not people playing the game, not players reporting those system-blind spot abusers, YOU.

My point is that people will always find the most optimal method for time:rewards, no matter how unfun it is.
You cannot create a system that can’t be cheese’d by players without making gameplay terrible for players who don’t.
Every MMO out there has some form of farming and cheesing.
We’re talking about airfield AA here bud.
I beg to differ, it’s in fact the people who have been crying about this who raised the needed awareness to Gaijin to implement changes. I’m not saying farmers aren’t wrong, but at the end of the day, it’s forum crybabies who called this out and got us a worse system as a result.

the current system is preferrable to hordes of primarily far east gamers abusing the old system and bombing their 10 alt accounts on the airfield

bombing alt accounts on airfield doesnt work for quite a long time now, you dont get anything for that.

almost as if I said “the old system” and not something happening now
and the current system doesnt have anything that allows anything remotely similar
Which is great. The only downside are the very weak Roland SAMs that cannot elevate beyond about 45deg and leave a giant blindspot right above every airfield.
??? we are literally in ItO 90M in ASB thread
we dont have rolands anymore
we do at lower BRs
isnt ito even at ~9/10 BR? that would make roland at so low BRs its actually useful
10.3 and under
ItOs fixed the issue at 10.7 and above but there’s still big problems below that
as long as there’s missiles you can easily come from above and shoot them at someone that has just taken off
