IDK about the top bracket yet. But I just played the 2.3 and the base HP has been bumped to 400 pts. We still lost but that was on our team and we lasted long enough to get the 300% booster.
I guess I’ll have to try it out again one of these days. Is it viable to bring bombs to just take out the artillery? I currently only have IR missiles and the last time I played assault I couldn’t even get close enough to lock on before the AI were killed by all the radar missile users.
I often do to get a few guns without having to lose all of my altitude.
What is ironic is that the bombers now last long enough that lower tier planes get a lot more kills than they used to.

Tried air assault after a long time and it puts 9.0 planes with 13.7+ planes, so yea for some tiers air assault is dead
I’ve shifted down to lowest tier recently and it’s still carryable down there with the right plane. just avoid Norway and Sicily; the low alt planes, Potez 633 and Beaufort, also received survivability buff.
Good way to finish killing this gamemode, now its truly impossible to win, even if you let 14.0 aircrafts it will still be the same. Well maybe if everyone plays Su-30 and spam kh38 at them.
First match against wellingtons (B-29) and we lost in the first round.
Second match, against dorniers and me264 it was easier to deal with them, but after dealing with bombers and arty, we got overwelmed.

I’ve just tested the revised DM in test flight with an F-14
I had to reload my 6x Aim-54’s 3x times to get a single B-29 to go down… not one fire until the 18th “hit”
A 130lb warhead ramming home at Mach3… “Hit”

Not sure if the mode is dead, but it is certainly not as fun for a lazy afternoon. I’m getting on target, lots of sparkles and glitter and maybe one crit every full ammo load (on a stock FW190). It’s not something I intend to do anymore… which is a shame, as AA was a fun thing to do after a couple of beers. Now it isn’t.
