Now that Nuclear Escalation returned as a separate game mode and we got to test the waters on “release” general feedback for the mode:
Snail, pls, for the love of god make a reasonable score modifier for the air events from this mode, spending an hour in a top tier plane for 5-7k score is unreasonable considering that it’s a pvpve mode and not a straight pve
can we get normal size score rewards for taking down enemy planes? 120 points for a downed plane when ur rwr is constantly screaming and u can be sniped by long range sam any second is not reasonable, even in ARB where u only got one life u get 425-450 points per enemy player kill…the reward in points isn’t proportional to the amount of risk taken to take down the enemy plane…
“smaller team sizes” toggle when only NE mode is selected should enable NE smaller team sizes and not ARB smaller team sizes matches IMO
additional feedback is welcomed =)
I’d like it to have BR brackets like what it had during the previous tests instead of the random BR matchmaker it has right now.
The brackets I feel worked much better for NE given that you’ll likely want to bring other aircraft of varying BR’s and that with the random matchmaking you’ll end up being uptiered and spend the match being incapable of doing anything given that the AA you’ll face in an uptier will be completely untouchable to you.
Could have just used the same rotating bracket system that’s in sim instead of it being set brackets.
I agree with raising score/rewards for intercepting nuke planes, but normal planes? Let’s not incentivize people to just devolve back into their Air RB ways
it’s not about incentivizing them, it’s about making the reward reasonable, 120 for enemy player that can shoot u down easier than enemy nuke is unreasonable no other way to look at it…
i just don’t want this mode to become another sim/heli pve, why would a major part of player base play this, when the reward for PvP action is way less than simplier and easier PvE? who likes the PvE? if we look at heli PvE we can see that only a small minority does, majority of players play PvP
there is nothing bad about PvP side of things as u call em air rb ways, simply cuz if we don’t revitalize pvp side of things the mode will die out faster than heli pve, what’s the incentive for pvp enjoyer to get into the covoluted NE when the rewards he gets for taking down enemy planes that are way scarier than AI SAM site is less than a fraction of dat score wise?
yeah, sure buddy, it’s very hard to shoot at bots sliding across the map or SAM sites that are staying in one place, it doesn’t take any effort to take them down.
thats why i will NEVER play classic above 8,7 ever again. do want brackets so we arent in uptier hell all the time tho. especially as i like harriers which are notably trash for PvP from underperforming airframes
It is when you’re constantly getting harassed by aimbot SPAA/SACLOS missiles and players at the same time lol. Have you even played the gamemode enough to actually form an opinion yet or did you just now stumble across it?
I was just flying in flat circle around a single Shilka moving along a road and it shot down 6 enemy planes that tried to get me, one after another as they came in, in like 5 minutes. Great success!
is already dead, NE doesnt go with brackets it only go like a normal match so u get uptiers or downtiers i played 11.3 and i was playing with f-16 and 18 with migs too! thanks gaijin to ruin a new mode like always. :)
