Is air assault dead?

For a while now I’ve been trying to get into air assault games maybe a couple of times a day just to see the queues having two to three people at most (myself included I guess). Does no one play this gamemode any more? I’d rather play PvE to get some modules reseached in my squadron vehicles since I’m terrible at planes and would likely just be cannon fodder in PvP.

The rewards in air assault arcade are abysmal. Go ground pounding in two or three regular air arcade games and you can get way more SL and RP for the same time spent in on AA game while also helping your team drain tickets. Doesn’t help that BR 6.7 and above in AA is HEAVILY compressed to the point of ludicrousness. If you decide to bring out an Me 262 or MiG-15 or so, you’ll be competing with an F-14A, Viggen C or early MiG-29 for bot kills. At lower BRs there are more newish players lowering the overall skill of team so you can’t always count on them. The AI gunners on the bombers you fight being being insanely accurate doesn’t help either.

yeah with my other account it was going well then suddenly i could not find any matches.

That’s the big problem, Gaijin cares so little about the mode the BR brackets have not been updated since they added the 1st jets. Except to cap it at max 12.7 BR cuz ARH missile are OP… But F-14s are still allowed in with ARHs, 13.0 SARH carriers are barred dispite not having ARHs and you can one shot a wave with a couple of TV ATGMs from an F-16 AJ, A10 or SU39 etc…
