The game mode is straight up lifted from the new ‘nuclear option’ game that’s why it’s fun. The details drag it down.

Don’t wait in queue. Break after a view seconds and try again. I needed only 5 tries max to get into battle.

Queue without any planes. Use the default planes. You will get in.

This exactly ☝️

We have also tested submarines in events.
Movie gif. Superimposed over a photo of a mountainous beach, John Travolta, as Vincent in Pulp Fiction holds a coat over his arm and looks around, confused.
They may be added later (sometimes YEARS later like infantry) or not at all. If you want to bet on the April fools post and not grind the event in the hope more strategic bombers will be added later that’s fine, but it could still be a long time, if at all, before they are added.
At the very least if you want these bombers you should grind the event, or buy the tasks with the GE.
And just because Gaijin says something will happen doesn’t mean it will, they said they where going to give attackers like the A-10 a forward spawn nearly 2 years ago and that’s yet to happen.

To be fair, naval has like 3 players. I can see why they’d prioritize making a gamemode like this for the much larger air playerbase.

And bonus, if they perfect this, it could be turned into a combined arms gamemode with ships and submarines. I think they wanted to add aircraft carriers, evidenced by half the map being water, but they didn’t have the time.

Would next update still be SEAD? They did say we would see ARM in first half of 2026 but we got ARM for April fools and not as a permeant weapon

F-14A and F-14B with 6x ARH watching IRIAF with 4x ARH get removed

Yeah, I don’t disagree, I’m just pointing out that just because there is a game mode made to test something it doesn’t mean it will happen anytime soon, the fact we are getting planes we can keep is a good sign, and they have stated they are planning new modes with the SEAD events last year, but for people there really want strategic bombers I would still suggest grinding the event as there are no guarantees.

Overall a great addition and it needs to stay, ARB is so incredibly stale with just team deathmatch.

There are some issues that drain the fun out of it though. These suggestions are given in good faith with the hope it becomes a permanent game mode.

AA issues
-AA is all perfectly accurate saclos that tracks you behind hills.
-AA density is totally insane.
-Gun SPAA either does nothing or deletes you without warning, even Bradley’s / bmp will insta-delete you randomly when other times they don’t even try to engage you.
-All SPAA will 360noscope missiles fired at them making ARM totally useless.
-Respawn rate is totally nuts, you can’t destroy them as fast as they spawn (yes I know about depots etc).
-AA spawning underground, non radar aa tracking through trees is maddening

Plane issues
-The attackers are almost useless because of the aforementioned SPAA issues.
-You desperately need to be able to make custom load outs for the free planes.
-RU/US only is extremely rude, I have UK and SWE top tier planes, f me I guess?
-The phantom not having hdn pd is just ghastly.
-br balance for planes, tho this has been partially addressed already.

Game mode
-Ground kills give you so little rewards and fighting the SPAA is so hard compared to other planes, the only way to get SP for nukes is to fight planes.
-The results from doing something need to be communicated. Great I took out an ammo depot, … What does that do.
-Respawn rate of ground units is crazy high, if you nuke a cluster they literally come back before you can rearm.
-We need some warning the enemy has spawned a strat bomber.
-Helicopters??
-There should be recon mechanics, spotted things should be persistent if they aren’t moving.
-Taking out s300/Patriot batteries should be compulsory before anyone can spawn a strat bomber. Combine this with ground units not continuously coming back and you have an actual dynamic battlefield.
-Battlefield changes like losing one of the major sam sites need to be communicated like airfield hits are.

fast wuestion, I try to nuke some enemy base in the mig-23 but at like 10kmfrom the enemy base the fuel vanish, even if i put 100% of fuel, can someone help me? And then where is the fuel indicator in the cocpick?

Firstly, turn this on

Then just limit usage of full afterburner (110% throttle)
also you should use CCRP bomb tossing

Ok thx, I use CCRP but witout fuel I can’t go near to do it, well, thx for the settings :)
