and the worst part is that gaijin devs believe there’s nothing wrong with that

Oke playing with Red side (USSR, China) is tottally difffrent game mode, its soooooo goood, like Im enjoying every second of it. Too bad Blue side is like unplayable, from all munition getting intercepted, cant go up or close to anything with SPPA. Anyway hopefully this get ballanced because its not fair towards Blue side.

For the love of god fix the dud missiles bug. It’s ridiculous how it’s just been allowed to stay from the past 2 tests.

It’s literally worse than the event version we tried in ALL aspects. We literally tested the crap before release so they make sure they make it so we won’t like it…
I’m 100% it’s intentional.
On the other hand , i made the mistake to play the mode. I could literally just play normal RB with props , take the 16XL and drop the game to the garbage it belongs till something of interest happens. It’s not that you need to play more than 3 games per week to trash talk them in the forums, so it’s good trade.
I like planes , vehicles etc… that company can’t make gameplay. They are just incapable…IT’s impossible for them even if they’d try. Incapability.

Should never have made NE permanent this update with the amount of issues it has.

Plainly clear that the biggest complaints from players just get ignored.

  • Mid-field SAMs untouchable and blatantly overpowered - ignored
  • Constant long range SAMs launches across the map - ignored
  • Re-balancing of nukes so they aren’t spammed constantly - ignored
  • SAMs being able to intercept everything fired at them with no issue - “some players get lucky and can do it maybe 1% of the time so AI should be able to do it 100% of the time”
  • Naval target rewards not worthwhile at all, increase the rewards - ignored
  • Dud missile bug - ignored
  • Long range SAMs too overpowered in lower BR’s - Swap them to even more overpowered systems

If you actually addressed the biggest concerns players have been voicing instead of rushing to push the mode out then it would be a worthwhile addition. But it’s clear to see that like everything done with this game it’s always 1 step forwards, 20 steps back.

I’m sick of anti ship dude, I launch 4 harpoons at the kuznetsov THEY ARE FLYING 100 METERS ABOVE THE WATER ALL THE WAY TO TARGET
They literally do not sea skim whatsoever which is insane cause they have the ability irl to sea skim from launch to impact. The kuznetsov for some odd reasons doesn’t know what minimum engagement range means because it can fire 50 feet away from it and accurately hit all 4 missiles I launched that took half the game to get there but god forbid redfor launches a single ASM at the forestall it’ll turn into a reef just looking at the missile. And for bluefor if you even hit your target you won’t be doing any sort of damage, im sick of anti ship im going back to striking ground tgts bravo on making something i looked forward too abysmal trash gaijin

reload time too short

You guys need to do something about joining ongoing matches.
3 out of my 5 games were:

  1. Playing 24 seconds and match finished
  2. Full match 31 mins
  3. 9:15 mins left untill match finished
  4. 1:40 mins left untill match finished
  5. Full match

I gave NE a try and its honestly so bad I had more fun in arcade even though I hate it
cant bomb anything, either munitions get intercepted or I eat a SAM
R77-1 hits me at every height and angle but my aim120s behave like they dont have a seeker lol
and when you eventually do get lucky with hitting anything the rewards just dont exist
even though I nuked ammo depots they just respawn in the same spot lol
and it didnt even count to event
SL refund from premium account is broken in this mode
why would anyone play this?

Damn dude you gotta post a replay maybe you can be helped.

its not just me the gamemode just favors few planes that have insane amount of CAS/AAMs and all others are just pain to play
rewards dont exist and SL refund is broken
why play?

What plane? Every top tier nation I’ve tried (USA, Germany, Russia) has been pretty decent. It’s the lower BRs that need more work imo.

I’m trying to play resulting to leave game after the 2d or 3d time an I-HAWK intercepting a Shrike…or a M163 shooting it down.
Too much "realism " for me… ace combat is 10x more realistic.
By the way from the queues alone i feel less people are playing from day to day…

It’s fun (except for 2S6/Ito90M bracket) if you don’t have a major skill issue.

This. The 2S6 and ITO’s are stupid to fight. They intercept nearly every single munition each time. You essentially have to waste a full loadout most of the time to just hit one. If you’re lucky you might be able to get them with just a single ARM so you can then go and hit other targets with the rest of your loadout. But that’s quite rare.

However once those AA’s are dead (either by luck they didn’t intercept the first missile or by having some teammates focusing entirely on SEAD) the rest of the targets are pretty easy.

Granted this was in a 12.3-13.3 match but I still agree that for normal games the AI are beyond broken but if you’re lucky enough to be in a match with someone focusing entirely on the AA then it can be pretty fun.

Man high BR bracket SAMs are so strong!!! Surely focusing on taking them down must be a rewarding activity. /s

lol. I think radars at lower BRs give more SL than this. ridiculous.

You can move top tier to another mode but you cant move frustration, disbalance and other slop from top tier.
Pre top tier is so close br wise but so far away gameplay wise, like day and night difference.

70k SL and 13k RP for 50 minutes of gameplay lmao thats pathetic

and yeah I play the 2S6 bracket and cant do CAS because everything gets intercepted

Play 11.7 as highest BR to completely avoid the bracket (or 12.0 with some risk). It’s a lot more fun (not perfect at all, but it’s much less cancer than facing 2S6/ItO90M).
