My highest BR jet is the German Mig-15 bis. I set up the missile an radar controls and I fail to do anything. Everyone insta flares IR missiles and the radars don’t work when multi-pathing to avoid AA. Headons result in both players shooting down each other’s missile. I tried ground pounding but the AA always kills me even when multi-pathing. How should I play this event?

Dogfights with guns and IR missiles. I suprisingly do well at dogfighting with the a10 and its big ammo amount.
For ground pounding su25t its the king with ARM and vikhirs.

Don’t fly the F-4E, if possible use another phantom.
F-4E should be reserved for nuclear strikes
Ground pounding is useless in this event. ARM’s will all get intercepted by the insane AA
If you to play NT for the bombers
Race towards 250SP and then race towards any “depot” that is untouched (SPAA still alive)
and nuke it. If you are lucky, those will be 10 AI kills and ensure a second small nuke or be pretty close to it to repeat the cycle.

The su25t’s ARM sometimes does not get intercepted (like 50/50 depending how you launch them), agm88 they do get intercepted and most of the times misses, i do not use them.
And its not useless playing as strike aircraft. Its just a Skill issue.
Nuking a depot with a freshly spawned convoy gives 12 AI kill I think.

how many matches were you able to do that. i see that screenshot was before they removed the IRAF
All my matches, I only play strike aircrafts and then nuke carriers. If I ever get an air kill its because someone was in my way or killed by nuke. But I never looked for planes to dogfiht as the typical middle spawn guys do.
Interesting. i find the AA is way too OP even when flying at treetop height to effectively use CAS
Weird enough playing as USSR its easier to do strikes. Not only because way better armament, but because US spaas suck so much even they will not fire at you sometimes.
The other day flew rush over a HAWK site and neither the hawk, roland or gepard shot at me.
The only menace its other depots convoys that are close to that site actually shoots at you
Makes sense. the russian AA does seem to be more accurate most of the time
Airfield AA from the US side is pretty easy to bypass actually.
Most games I join from the start consist in trying to avoid Mig-23s from rushing the spawn and staying inside the AA’s deadspot while strafing spawning players.
Which then ends in a a lot of nukes to deal with.
How should I nuke them? The AA always shoots me down about 2km from the depot no matter how much I dodge and deploy countermeasures
You launch the bomb from over 10-15 kilometers.
You do something called “Toss bombing with CCRP”.
This official WT tutorial tells you how.
Difference is:
We skim the treetop towards the target, and once we are in the same gridsquare (20 km or less) we start pulling up.
The challenge is prioritizing your releases so you don’t get intercepted by flying over a SAM site before you release.
By the time my bomb landed, I was well back to my own side of the map.

Can they intercept the bomb and around what angle should I climb?
No, they can’t intercept the nuke :)
You should go around Mach 1 and 7km-10 km away with the CCRP locked and bomb equipped.
MULTIPATH. If you play USSR, a few chaff should work to deter the radar missiles. If you play America, use terrain to your advantage to break lock; OSAs and Buks do NOT care if you multipath.
Once within 7km-10km, hold the bomb release and pull up as high as you can. It will auto drop the nuke. Run back to base and repeat :)

Use this map to plan your attacks. The HAWK/BUK sites take longer to respawn and once they’re down it’s way easier.

That is map is very nice too 🙂
I found these as well, have to see which ones I prefer now. I saved the one you posted too, thank you!
