Both were outclassed by a mile. I did good/great in both of them generally (a few nukes), but that doesn’t change the fact it was unbearably annoying to play.
MiG-23s were outclassed by like everything but the F-4E and Attackers, the F-4E’s radar struggles at low alt. and all the fights were low alt. furballs because the AA would snipe you out the sky if you decided to fly with your plane instead of basically driving on the ground. After the hype wore out from the first few matches, trying to get mission score was very annoying (especially when people figured out how to intercept instead of fighting inbetween the main airfields).
The coastline side was pretty much free real estate when it came to earnijg score, at least for the US side (I didn’t play Russia). As soon as I figured out the strategy the event just became easy.
But the ALARM missile flies pretty slowly, in War Thunder missiles flying slowly is a big problem.Also, the number of missiles isn’t just given out however Gaijin thinks is reasonable.
