Just use stuff like f18a or f15a

F15 a is an excellent option for this event too

i have the displeasure to inform that i don’t actively suffer on this game anymore and i do other things, as the same issues i been complaining about yet to be addressed and reinforced with the most recent update(s)…

i have the displeasure of doing stock grinding on american jets as it is due to BR compression, i’m not interested in grinding another 380k~ rp for nothing burgers and wont be useful after the event.

I agree. Even though I do have planes for both sides to use in personal lineups, I’m most often using the built in planes. I have been playing RU exclusively now since I finished the first tasks. Both sides are different. Both have strengths and weaknesses.

The biggest issue I see is so many players who don’t know how to use CCRP. It’s not difficult to setup, it’s not difficult to use. Please watch this short video if don’t know how to use CCRP yet. It will make your time in this event (and in regular matches) SO much more enjoyable and profitable:

And if you have never used radar missiles it is absolutely worth the time to learn. You really only need to use ACM mode for radar, then start slinging missiles. (I very highly recommend watching all the way through the videos, but again, you really only need the keybind for ACM mode, and the keybind to fire the air to air missiles.)

Time stamped to ACM mode description and instructions:

Time stamped to SARH missiles (the radar missiles that the default planes use):

Some infrared missiles can be “slaved” to a radar lock as well. Useful for IR missiles that are “all aspect” like the AIM-9L (the IR missiles that the default F-4E can carry). Again, will be easiest to use ACM mode to obtain radar lock and then fire the “all aspect” IR missile. This will usually increase the range that you can fire these missiles head on towards an enemy:

Time stamped to the “all aspect” IR missile section. He goes over IR missile “slaving” shortly after the time stamped section:

The event is great but que times make it impossible to play the US. Basically im just locked out of doing the event as the US.

I got the USSR done easily but im 25 minutes into queuing for the US and no luck yet.

Just make this a mixed matchmaker because this is unworkable.

CCRP is the most useless thing in this game. You have to have everything right. You better be flying in good weather, good altitude, no enemies, and flying straight. If you know one thing about these furries using profile pictures the last thing they can do is fly straight without questioning their existence. It’s too dependent I rather just CCIP those bombs like a real thug.

Everything you just wrote is wrong lol.

  1. CCRP does NOT care about weather. You can set the CCRP point on the map.

  2. You are absolutely unequivocally 100% wrong about level flight. CCRP allows you to lob bombs from any flight angle, other than upside down. Set the ccrp point, stay below the ground. Angle up sharply when you get close hold the Bomb release button and the bomb will release at the correct point and fly in a ballistic trajectory down to the target while you fly away. Lobbing nuclear bombs was one of the greatest uses of CCRP in real life. To give Pilots enough time to clear the area before the bombs detonate.

LOL! Sorry bro, your sarcasm flew over my head at Mach 5 😂

I’m going to leave my reply up and continue it, but I’ll make a note at the top lmao.

Lmfao, REAL pilots use The Force to know when to release their bombs!

F14 F16 F18A/C all work too

F16 , 6 9Ls is goated at 12.3 personally I would like it at 12 so I can become META

what if they made a mode for carriers of coast of russia where you have to defend carriers while also attacking a russian airfield while they launch bombers and fighters
carrier would be in like a task force

so russia would have TU-160 and TU22m with ASM missiles and SU27s and MIG-29s Vs F14s F18s and other carrier born planes and bombers

and russian inteceptors like MIG-31 and stuff have hit cruise missiles launched from the US taskforce

It’s really just Tu-22M3 w/ Anti-Ship missiles, Tu-160 is held solely for air to surface ALCM work since it’s operated entirely by the airforce.

Only issue is the rather… huge capability difference between American and Russian carrier-borne aircraft…

Is ground pounding viable if I don’t know how to use missiles and stuff?

anyone?

my bad idk them that well they look really similar i got confused

russian planes are taking of from a russian airfield the carrier is off the coast of russia with a task force

Is ground poudning viable if I don’t know how to use missiles and stuff?

Issue then is that it’s kinda one sided gameplay objective wise… afaik we haven’t really had a proper attack and defend type gamemode before, dunno how it’d work here.
