I’m really unsure what the idea behind this event was, and I have 2 main critiques for it. Now things could still be added or changed, and I hope they will for this gamemode.
Firstly is the lack of info. For context, I play almost exclusively with tanks. I’d love to play with jets as well, but that’s such a long grind away that I can’t really, and I don’t want to lay down a day’s salary for a single jet. So these events would be perfect right? Well no, because I can’t play them, because I have no idea how high tier aircraft and their systems work, or what keybinds I need. Now there technically are tutorials for this, but to access these you need top tier aircraft. So I stand basically no chance when playing now unless I do extensive research, which all needs to be looked up externally.
Now for my second point. Tutorials and how these aircraft work I can look up and teach myself. It’s very frustrating and annoying, but there is technically something I can do about it. My second complaint is a lot more direct:
How is this mode different from the recent SEAD event exactly? It feels exactly the same, now just with 2 extra bombers. April fools events used to be super creative and intuitive, it was often worth it to install the game for these events alone. And now we get a reused gamemode that’s very similar to the base gamemode to begin with, but with 2 extra aircraft? Really? That’s all the creativity you could muster?
I was really hoping for something good this year, especially the last 2 April fools events didn’t hit that hard either, but we just continuously keep getting less…
