Which is a good decision from Gaijin, the rewards with a premium look really good. But it should have been so apparent what a balancing nightmare it would be and how unfair it is for people that didnt grind US or USSR.

agreed but we take what we can get when a US aircraft gets something better
Yup and the queues reflect that as well lol
The amount of players that own US premiums or the IRIAF massively inflate the US player count, there’s only one good USSR premium, the MiG-23ML. Neither the Su-39, Su-25BM or the MiG-25PD are worth bringing, so almost nobody bothers with them.
(well, I’ve been seeing plenty of MiG-25s, but I can’t imagine that people will keep spawning that after a while)
OSAs are intercepting Mach 3 AGM-88s. The map is covered by palm trees, which makes locking stuff through them impossible. TV-guided missiles are useless in this event.
lmao, I said that after the first couple of deaths in my first game, but then everything suddenly clicked
flying extremely low, spamming flares, eventually a couple of enemies got close enough to launch missiles
after getting 250 spawn points I could consistently equip the small nuke, fly to a cluster of enemies, drop it, and get enough spawn points for the next one
try to use the side bases where there are no enemies
got 5k points even though it was my very first game flying top tier jets
I 💯 agree. The biggest reason I do NOT play ARB is because of ONE SINGLE SPAWN. I hate it. It makes players behave like ravenous dogs because they want to get at least ONE kill before they are sent back to the hanger.
I LOVE this combo of RB controls + models etc, with the SL spawn of SIM/EC (idk which it is, I do not play SIM or EC, so I am not versed on how they work.)
I would play this type of mode a LOT if it is made a permanent thing. Especially if it is made into a combined arms mode where we could also spawn our tanks in.
I absolutely ADORE this event / mode!
@Smin1080p_WT @Stona_WT PLEASE ask the devs to make this a regular game mode 🙏 Thank you!

To be fair, the US SAMs also intercept all USSR ARMs unless you spam multiple ones in close range at the same target
It’s all SAMs, it’s just ridiculous that these Cold War era SHORADs are capable of doing so with so much consistency and precision.

FlaRakPzs and OSAs just casually swatting a bunch of ARMs and ATGMs out of the air lol
Yeah its actually crazy that they didnt think about stuff like that. Imagine if they allowed German GDR planes for the russian side, that would be at least some help with the one sidedness.

Wounder how not to nuke myself. From what alt should I drop for safety reasons?
Lob them, don’t drop them
Throw em as far as you can and turn around to escape the SAMs
not really its rather unbalanced MIG 29s vs F4E or F15A vs MIG-23 MLD if you dont play america or russia also these bombers should have been tech tree no need for them not to be B66B should have been event instead honestly dumbest choice ever
Or even give players with said airframe a spaded vehicle that’s only available for export nation users.
Like if you have the Tyskland Mig you’d have access to a spaded version of the Soviet model. Keeps things on par with their current Soviet airframes, same for the F16, ect ect.
That would be way more complicated than just adding all relevant planes as presets
(Also, this probably doesn’t apply to that many people, but I would get a whole lot of zero new plane options through that lol)
I hope the rewards don’t change for the duration of the event. They’re freaking fantastic.
