Bullet Hell should NOT only be an additional mode, like nightbattles are in Ground.
I wanna activley choose it and play it instead of AirRB.
Especially in TopTier, where the missile spam is imo very annoying.
And if they implement the chance to get Bullet Hell like the chance you get a nightbattle in Ground, then noone will ever play that gamemode. Because noonne will ever get into a Bullet Hell match. (I have nightbattles enabled since it could be and I can count on 2 hands the times I had one)
If it means getting the chances of me getting it zero im all for it. People that want to play bullet hell can queue for it and I dont have to go anywhere near it
Yeah, but I can’t select Bullet Hell on its own. Only NE. So there is a chance you’ll be put in a Bullet Hell match, but no guarantee (like nightbattles).
It should be like NE that you can select BH on its own, without the AirRB in it.
I primarily want to play Top Tier jets without radar (or any) missiles. I really dislike playing ARH.
The loop is essentially just cruising around at supersonic speeds which essencially makes that no one has a reliable chance to hit you and find someone else you can thrid party that is engaging in a dogfight and then get out and accelerate again to high speeds.
Which makes the Typhoon and the F-15E to some extent (because the vulcan is easier to spam), the only viable meta.
The gamemode for me feels very boring, I would much prefer a duel game mode.
But I cannot choose Bullet Hell exclusively. I can choose NE, I can choose Air RB, but I cannot choose Bullet Hell, without also choosing AirRB.
So it will be like nightbattles, where I never get a nightbattles (I have them enabled since the feature launched and gotten maybe around 10 nightbattles ever. So practically never)
Very much agree. The mode is fundamentally different than regular Air RB, and needs to reflect this by being able to queue it separately. It does not make sense for the possibility of playing an entirely PvP focused fast paced mode with no missiles with the other more likely possibility being the slower, PvPvE, and (possibly) missile focused mode of Air RB in the same queue, just like how it doesn’t make sense with Nuclear Escalation vs Air RB.
Additionally, the vehicles you would want to play in the mode may be entirely different than ones you want to play in Air RB, just like in Nuclear Escalation, and in its current form also requires a lineup of 2+ 8.3+ BR vehicles to play, so your crew slots will look completely different when queueing this.
This is NOT comparable to night battles being an additional option, where most vehicles have NVDs at 10.0+ so being randomly thrown a regular GRB battle in the dark is not something that needs to be planned for very much.
Please make Bullet Hell a main mode. The players who want to play Bullet Hell are not the same as those who want to play regular Air RB, and this distinction needs to be reflected in the option.
Myself and many players I know who don’t enjoy the current gameplay in top tier arb were really anticipating BH as being the only game mode we would play top tier jets. If queueing BH requires rolling the dice on a 1 in X chance of getting a BH match I suspect the mode’s core market will simply continue to reminisce about those 2 great weekends when we had a guns-only event.
Personally i can give you 3 of my reasons without much thinking.
GJ can’t into balance. The are just garbage in anything that involves balance. I’m not saying this mode will be super balanced, not all planes have the same characteristics, but at least some of them may be more playable there than in normal RB or NE. My first though…J35s for example and in general some planes that are now in a weird position , may find place in that mode.
I would like a good old dogfight mode/gunfight for jets. It’s entirely different than the props.
I would grind mods in that mode , without being completely useless for X amount of games. Top tier without Chaff for example, yeah ok i know how to defend even without and to be fair its not that difficult (at least for me) , but it’s maybe one of the most boring things to be on the defensive all the time and doesn’t really grind mods faster, in fact if you die grinds faster than just surviving.
And i believe that is the reason they don’t make it standalone/togglable mode. Because anyone could jump play some games without being completely useless, have some fun , grind some CMs and missiles and go play the mod they want…for free. I don’t know how many spend on grinding mods, but i’ve seen enough on the forums mentioning it to understand that GJ wants the frustration so you pay money for that…
To add on this, top tier at least has some missiles…10.0-12.0 start with 2 AIM-9s that are not even valid for the BR anymore…
This should be its own mode. If someone doesn’t want it , don’t play it ok. But the way GJ does it, it’s 800% for the money someone spends for those few mods to at least having something to do in a higher tier match .
