Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Yeah that would be cool, I was more thinking of the MC-130J with the MOAB and Rapid Dragon system for this mode (and obviously the AC-130J and KC-130J Harvest HAWK). Rapid Dragon would give it a standoff range of over 400km IIRC which would make it pretty good for hitting airfields and the new smaller bases from the event.

Could be good for late WW2 → early Korean War era too. Have stuff like the B-29 and Tu-4 as nuke carriers. Obviously scale the map down a bit but it could work with them.

oh peak, hopefully this wont turn into another wwm where we never see it again, even if it was just the same mission I hope we see it again soon

god I hope it would be so peak to try it out in this mode

There’s not really a reason not to have it in this mode, having to laser guide something like a Brimstone in will be a death sentence against the broken SPAA.

Also the excuse of it not being balanced for tanks wouldn’t apply because they’re AI targets. It would be great to see how they perform in this mode.

Let me use Mjölnir and it would be so peak

Looking at sensor view in replays for the event is certainly something

enough radiation in the air to give a lead statue a headache

This is where they really need to add colour filtering for different types of sensors (i.e, ground, air, player, ai, vehicle, weapon, etc etc)

Make it totally custom, so you can pick the sensor type and pick a colour for it, or just hide it completely.

Maybe even allowing targeting a specific contact so you can clearly see only its sensor field in a specific colour. Been more than a few times I wish I could do that

yeah that would certainly be nice.

Also looking at some of them there are quite a few instances i am noticing of radars tracking people through things they really shouldn’t be so the mode definitely needs some work but its not as bad as id thought it would be in that regard.

That’s been a thing for years with AI.

I recall flying on Port Moseby in ASB and being hit the moment I crested a hill that was between me and the convoy I was passing and this was 2? ish years ago

So clearly it had been firing at me before I had actually entered LoS.

Though I would take that one step further and actually add something that simulates being able to “fly under the radar”

Something like

When below X height (like 300ft) AI engagement range is reduced by 25%

When below Y height (like 100ft) Ai engagement range is reduced 50%

Yes, the Bigger the sun the better it is ))))

yes yes but idk if a 30kt isn’t a little too powerful for Air RB

i mean the 30kt is either gonna kill a lot of ground targets or 1 base so its not to op

yes yes yes

except I’ll crawl into the furball and get 16 air kills with it

imagine Naval RB in some time when more modern vessels are available and you’ll just Nuke whole Capture points

this might be the strategy

Question for chaps as I didnt see it anywhere, the event planes (B-52/Tu-95) are both rank VI right? Will they be forced to take off from the airfield in Air RB? Or was it said that they would get special permission to start in the air?
