BROTHER! Have you seen the previous year’s April Fool’s posts? The first one ALWAYS has MISINFORMATION. I can show you the facts, but I cannot understand them for you!
BRO, you have been here as long as I have. You cannot tell me you do not understand how the April Fool’s posts work:
And just because you are saying it’s false without showing evidence to support it doesn’t help the discussion chap/chapette.
The event is a test for strategic bombers, ARMs, and so forth. And they have advertised and shown us useable strategic bombers as a vehicle type.
So from the perspective of all of us Bomber Mains from 2012/13 time period, this is confirming to all of us that research tree trategic bombers are on their way and we are all extremely excited and happy to see bombers get some love and attention finally after years of just fighter and strike aircraft centric updates.
But that was an early test for the NEW Infantry Game Mode coming? That they recently are refining. So I don’t see what’s incorrect.
From those posts the first is for the concept overall (proven correct as a new gamemode coming), and the second is specific to the event test for the concept?
I don’t know why people are saying the sparrows are useless, I’ve used free jets from both sides to grind the event, I’d rather have radar missiles than IR missiles that can be single flared
And if someone happens to show up right in front of you? Sparrows are not useless at all, get below your enemy and they’ll track through chaff no problem.

OOPS NEVER MIND lol I cant read well 😂
OH double wait! It is because they are different explosives! The FAB-5000 has TGA-16 explosive which is MORE TNT equivalent per KG than TNT.
FAB-3000 TNT equivalent = 2219.2 KG (TNT EQ is more useful for comparison)

FAB-5000 TNT equivalent = 3,310.5 KG (TNT EQ is more useful for comparison)

FAB-9000 Explosive mass = 4,297 KG

You can also select one of the load outs and look at the “Estimated damage to bases” on the left. The FAB-5000 is almost double the base damage estimate. HOWEVER, with the “reward multiplier for bases” the difference is not as big. But if 1 FAB-5000 can take out a base alone, then you might get more score. Idk yet. Would have to see how they behave in a real match.
FAB-3000 x4 base damage = 96,944. With multiplier = 358,693
FAB-3000 x4 base screenshot:
FAB-5000 x2 base damage = 58,294. With multiplier = 273,982
FAB-5000 x2 base screenshot:
FAB-9000 x1 base damage = 30,266. With multiplier = 208,835
If you load in with jets at 11.7 or jigher you also face 11.7 to 13.0
You only get the lower br bracket if you don’t bring any of your own planes and use the free ones instead even if one of the planes you bring are also one of the free ones
