This time I pass. wonder why with every new event the points to make it tradable increase. You really feel no shame, uh?
They kinda don’t
Gaijin basically has 3 states for events now
45/750, 35(or 40)/600 and 30/500
Last one is reserved for some crap-tier rewards like Meteor, first one is for top-tier stuff, and the second is for all the rest
It’s been a year like this already
id say dont get your hopes up
What’s the community’s read on this one. Do people think this will be a good plane?
I see speed as a positive but the AIM-4 might break it in a bad way. Is that the consensus?
Eh, it’ll just be a more agile F-104. And for the AIM-4s… they aren’t the best in terms of range. Like, worse than AIM-9B type range. Only good thing about them is their decent maneuverability.

Not like i’m a naval fan
God i hate naval
But naval prises(well if they’re battleships) tend to cost a bit more than ground/air prises
MUCH more agile F-104
Basically it’s US version of MiG-21S. Fast, agile, somewhat decent missiles for it’s BR, but no RWR or flares/chaff. Oh, and a good cannon

In under an hour from posting this it’ll be time to griiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddd I can’t wait. A reason to play Air extensively again. Nice to go back to your roots. I’m only being half sarcastic.
I’ve done 50% of the first task… Im already bored
Fakour 90 upon ye
You too can grind between 4 to 6 hours per day to earn 35k points, competing against the tryharders, sweatlords and content creators. This is by design of course. Gaijin would rather you pay the $50 for what will probably be a mediocre plane.
You can do the math for your own score but one kill at rank VI is around 650 points. You need 53 kills to get 35k points. An Air RB match is around 10 minutes on average, times 53 and you get 530 minutes or 8 hours. Remember though you won’t always get a kill every game so double it to 16 hours. Reduce earnings the lower you go, since at rank III you only get 80% of your total score. Good luck everyone!

35k points does not take 6 hours a day lol, it takes max 1.5 hours with a rank 7
What is the best way to grind for this? Like a rank 7-8 prem or a tt plane?
it dosent matter if it is a premium or TT plane
just fly anything you like to fly and you should be fine

if it cant hit mach 2.3 imma be mad
you can after flying in a straight line for 10 minutes at 10km altitude
Only if you get 5 kills minimum each and every game. 700x5 is around 3,500 points and you have to do that 10 times. Takes way more than an hour unless you are a no-lifer or sweatlord.
Absolute fastest is technically any rank VIII aircraft in ASB, with a combo of PvP and PvE (take bombs or rockets, head towards a PvE target, looking for PvP contacts on the way and dump them onto targets, and then hunt down a target or 2 whilst heading back to base, RTB and repeat)
Note more bombs doesnt necessarily mean more score
Though personally, Im happy to sacrifice a little event score multiplier to play some lower ranks. Keeps things more interesting. Did most of todays with the Hunter FGA9 and Harrier Gr1. You also generate way more score in an aircraft you do well in, rather than something of a higher rank that you may not.
Though… The tactic I propose for ASB, also generates a metric ton of SLs if you are also in a premium aircraft and can stay alive for most of it . So win win I guess
That’s where you are wrong
It actually matters
Some premiums get more points for the some actions
I know at least about 2 such planes. It’s F-4EJ ADTW and Harrier Night Attack
F-4EJ ADTW gets 200 points more for dumping full load of FFARs into airfield compared to regular F-4EJ or F-4E. They carry the same amount of rockets, put Japanese premium gets more points because reasons.
Harrier with it’s 190 FFARs gets about the same amount of points as F-4EJ ADTW with it’s 285 because more reasons. It can compete with points-per-minute with F-111A with 456 FFARs.
Su-25K also has some similar thing iirc, but i don’t have enough evidence of it. Last time i’ve seen it, it outperformed F-4E which carries more rockets with more HE filler. Regular Su-25 is incapable of such thing.
And yes, there’s no such thing with linear planes. It’s basically a linear increase of points-per-loadout with the increase of amount of armament
Get yourself F-4E/F-4EJ/F-4EJ ADTW/F-111A
Load it with full loadout of FFARs. You can also load some AIM-7s if you use F-4s in case you see some enemies while you fly to your target.
Go into ASB and choose Tunisia. This map and only this because it’s small
Your targets are enemy airfields. Not bases. Airfields. You need to destroy it’s modules. I personally choose to target parking zone - storage area - landing line - living zone
Parking, storage and living take about 600 FFARs to kill, landing takes about 1000-1050.
But the thing is that while living zone isn’t destroyed it will repair other modules and itself but only if it’s damaged too. Basically it’s operating on “if HP<100% and HP>0% then repair”. And it can resurrect destroyed modules.
So all you have to do is destroy 3 modules(because destroying them also gives you extra points. Amount of points depends on the amount of damage you’ve dealt to a module) and attack living zone 1-2 times and boom, you have all modules functioning again and ready to be destroyed.
Yesterday on F-111A it took me like 40 minutes to fully complete a star.
