What are your plans to make this playable if you’re not in an absolute top tier jet?
Why wasn’t this done as a early-mid Cold War event instead?
So - what bright spark came up with the idea for a 1.7 BR spread?
Because they need to not be allowed to make gameplay decisions in future. Maybe give them something less damaging such as reloading the photocopier…

Still guaranteed uptier to 14.0
Yeah, it’s awful if you’re not in an absolute top tier jet.
Good idea let down through execution as always.

Congratulation Gaijin - the mode is utter trash and unplayable now. I’d love to give more constructive feedback than that, but I can’t really for a simple reason.
I just lost about 100k SL when I barely had over 1m with stuff to buy and crews to train, because I was never actually able to get in to the F’ing fight. I never even saw an enemy plane - I never even saw an enemy ground target. I spent the entire time, getting smashed in the face by BUK’s, that don’t even set off the RWR. I’d be flying low - with nothing even pegging as a track, and still get smashed by them. I eventually had to spawn at the back base, with my radar set to 100km where it didn’t detect crap, get to about where the forward airfields are, finally get something I can lock one of the 2 RVV-AE’s my MiG-29N has - not that I can see what it is I just know it wasn’t marked blue, and I get hit in the face with another BUK. In a second almost over game I got tossed in to I brought the F-2A ADTW and managed to fire off the ARH anti-ship missiles, before I got hit in the face with a BUK, that is the limit of what I was able to do. The April event had it’s moments where the AA was bad and a problem - but you actually found a way to make it freaking worse. How the hell did this get past anything? And the rewards sure as hell aren’t worth it for what I did get.
Seriously - reset it to how it was during April Fools, and make the couple tweaks to things like AA targeting and all. Let us respawn how and where we want, make it so AA isn’t so insane someone can actually get in to the fight, make the rewards actually worth the time investment - make the event fun again, cause this isn’t fun, it’s infuriating. I was hoping to have some fun with no battlepass challenges and events or anything to do with this event, maybe grind out some stuff on some higher tier jets I have, make some SL that I sorely need - but nope, I’m just angry, lost SL - and now going back to my pre-seeing this released plan to make SL in Arcade terrorizing people with the BMPT I got and anime T-80 I didn’t realize I clicked on previous sale instead of the German tank, because really there is no better way to make SL in Arcade than abusing Russian Bias premiums cause they perform just that much better than others I have. Granted - Arcade rewards kinda suck and need to be improved anyway for those of us that want to play more than 1 line.

Or y’know, spread across a few brackets. The primary complaints prior about the matchmaker were that it didn’t let in high rated attackers like su 34, now they’ve made it only high rated platforms
What a perfect chance to test MMW mechanics, you know the systems you perceive will be broken.
Allowing aircraft to use JAGM and Brimstone to hunt convoys like they are designed to do would be a fun way to play this while not compromising the “balance” in ground battles.
was anything even changed between this and the dev server version?
Lol. No.
If they wanted to actually test, theyd do it at a BR where more of the player base is able to participate.
This BR range starts at 13.0 to include people who bought the most expensive premiums and to 14.7 to make sure those top tier premiums arent the best vehicles.
This is not about a wider test base, its about making something at the top tier so people either have to buy a top tier premium, or have top tier aircraft (which they’re hopefully spending money on to make the grind go faster).

What are the brs?
same as dev, 13-14.7
This wouldnt change anything, it would all just get intercepted

Cant wait to see this discussion in a few months when BVVD says “We tried adding a new gamemode but people didnt play it much so they must not want it.” When the reality is people didnt play it because its at a BR people dont want to play.

Fun to use though, ripple firing Brimstones would be fun. or even cluster bombs, the bomblet dispensers all these systems could be added in this mode.
Sadly this will just turn into team deathmatch 2.0

Literally none of it would make the mode playable. You can spam as many missiles as you want and none of them will hit

so far the only way iv been able to get past Russian air defense is by spamming all 20 gbu53s at a base to kill their AA, tho half the time you die to the BUK anyways

I’ve had success with the AGM-130 as they are treated as a guided bomb rather than a missile so it gets ignored. Unless they changed the AAs to intercept bombs too

did know that ill give that a shot too
Gaijins ability to fumble stuff is amazing.
People wanted nuclear thunder back but never addressed the actual issues with it (the goddam ai spaa) and just make everything worse.
Perhaps try actually thinking rather than just relying on spreadsheets.
