The CCRP video is 5 mintues long. The event matches last up up 1 hour 30 minutes. You have time to watch a short video. If you want enough mission score to get the event planes you are going to save hours and hours of time watching a 5 minute video.

You are going to struggle immensely trying to use the nukes in the event without using CCRP.

And CCRP makes using dumb bombs much easier too. You can set the CCRP point on the map. Fly low until close, hold bomb release button, angle up sharply. Once bombs release, turn hard, dump chaff and FLY AWAY.

It’s very possible to do in one game (1h), but you’d need to be like top ~30% of the team I think. As someone new it might be 2 or even 3h.

By 1:02:49 in the US queue, the USSR mission is already done.

Don’t worry about clearing the first stage, wait for next stage, you’ll still get the aircraft

The only other event I have grinded is the R400 one and it had ridiculous mission point requirement for each stage ngl

Really happy they didn’t made it like 35,000 mission points each

if the br stays the same the naval battle EC will be interesting if this allows

It’s 8.7 for Tu and 8.3 for B-52 right?

It’s not that hard IF you build up to 250 Spawn Points to bring in the small nuke, fly towards enemy territory locate one of the supply Depots / fuel depots, set your CCRP point in the middle of one of those depots. Get within about 5 km, pull up sharply while holding the CCRP bomb release button, wait for the new to release Turn Away dump chaff.

Go back and land, grab another nuke, repeat until you get 500 spawn points. Then, spawn in the medium nuke and try to bomb one of their air Fields if possible. If there’s too much enemy air cover just keep bombing those Supply depots.

You really only start to get a lot of mission score points when you start using the nukes. That is why it is so important to spend a little bit of time setting up CCRP. It is totally possible to finish one task in one or two missions if you can keep running nukes.

Without using CCRP, you are going to die to your own nuke almost every time you try to drop. Thus, losing all of your spawn points, which will prevent you from getting another nuke. When you land and rearm you get another nuke without using more spawn points.

If you’re able to drop the nuke and not die to it (I recommend an immelmann) and rtb to rearm you get another nuke for no sp

Is it possible to rearm the B-52? I’ve tried to land it once but it’s impossible to bleed enough energy.

I don’t know but I know the su24 and f4 are good for dropping the 30kt and getting TF out of there

Guys, just a quick question within the Events topic.

Does this ‘April 1st event’ count as a normal event ? Because we recently had one where we unlocked a WW1-era American ship, the USS Oklahoma.

The next event would usually be a ground vehicle, so I’m wondering is this current event where we’re unlocking nuclear bombers considered a normal event, or are we still going to get a separate ground event alongside it ?

Normally there’s a 1-2 week break before the next event is announced after the previous one ends, and well… I’m hoping for a tank.

3583

maybe AAtree?

3584

Thanks man, I’ll definitely look into it, can you post the link again?

3585

I gave it another go with much greater success :) but still F-4E’s radar is trash so it’s still incredibly grindy. USSR was ok tho.

The queue times are just the same on EU servers in my experience the US side you have to wait a long time to get a game while USSR it immediately places you in a match lol
