NE is dead?

the ne game mode had a very bright future but gaijin fucked it

  • for some reason when i fly and try to find spaa like 2s6 i cant see it but when i get closer about 8 km(btw the range it will easily kill me) its showing on the map and i am dying cuz i cant fucking spot it fast enough and to shot bombs or something
    -the spaa problem i think i dont need to tell something about it they are broke asf on the old map the nano second you take off s300 missile is already flying towards you ik its ez to doge but still and i am not goanna talk about spaa intercepting my bombs better then fucking iron dome
    -the wait time. i remember in the middle of the day eu time i am waiting 20 minute to find a match

The gamemode has like 40 major problems that gaijin refuses to address, it will fall off in popularity until they remove it then they will say no new modes will be added because “nobody wants them”

The worst is the damn 2S6s and ITOs in high tier. They are literally undodgable if you aren’t some super maneuverable jet or can’t bring a hill between you and the launcher.

In lower tier it’s the gun SPAA. M163 shooting down all my air to ground missiles and then me at a range of 5km is ridiculous.

Gaijin needs to address this immediately and stop making this game not fun to play on purpose

Gaijin has a dilemma on how to make the mode rewarding, but unrewarding, but also frustrating enough to force players to buy premiums.

Must be rough.

Nuclear Escalation was only good for the first week, then it just got ruined. Personally, i think its because people were actually having fun and grinding it, and Gaijin didnt like people having fun so had to ruin it by buffing the AA 10 fold.

Ironically it is only really playable at top teir.

“Its clear no one wants any change to heli pve because no one is playing it, which was the case ever since we removed heli pvp, that we refused to balance and deliberately made so annoying to play by adding certain helis as a cashgrab and not introducing brackets.”

Its certainly on the players that show they dont want other gememodes by not playing them. The problem can’t be that the gamemodes are on the brink of even being playable…

Refusing to play it until they dial down the SAM’s / AA… if it dies it dies.
1950/60’s era mobile AA shooting down munitions wasn’t a thing…

I only played red side at around 12.0-12.3 lately and queue times are usually in tens of minutes. You’d think that because of sheer volume of blue premiums in 12.0-12.7 range it would be the opposite, but as the matter of fact - it isnt.

well i played my first match on the red side trying to get something done in the su34 as a pure anti sam and anti radiation missile loadout. utterly pointless. 3 sorties, 3 medium to high alt launches of mach 4 anti radiation missiles, of 18 launched all but one got intercepted. ITOs, sampts u name it, intercepted. makes u wonder where the sead gamemode is in a gamemode where playing sead is pointless…

though its probably pointless to try countering the sampts bc for jets they are like toddlers in comparison to the absolute menaces su300s are, but one high alt launch of gbu 39s or 53s by one f16 that sacrifices 2 hardpoints for 8 of these, that most will get through can take out an entire s300 or buk site. What a miracle that blue side is winning 90% of matches because in classic gaijin fashion, it shouldnt be played to be a fair experience. and tanks are not built to snipe irl…

So high chances of getting into a match on red side instantly, in a battle where half you team has likely left and the match was lost inevitably 30 mins ago. or wait till 15 people have mercy and queue for red side. i mean why would you. if one f15e can take 3 of your sam sites per sortie out with complete impunity from somewhere high alt in the back of the map (with a 20xgbu 39 or 53 loadout that have stealth and sometimes dont get shot at at all by sams) and after that youll just get slaughtered by missile busses with 12 fox 3s sitting in space totally safe. Two f15es in the entire enemy team playing like that and say byebye to all your long range sams that are the only thing that can at least somehow keep high alt missile slingers in check. oh and sayonara to all your airfield spaas basically allowing for free nuke runs on the airfields after they are gone…

Yeah I figured that BY FAR the best red sead planes are F-16V and aussie superhornet (GB plays on the red side pretty much always).
