So after 2 matchs of the event, here are my opinions.
• Overly hyped during the first match. (OMG I’m going to fly big bomber!) (Sadly kid, You’re not.)
• 2500 points to too far out of reach and with SAM targets having terrain avoidance; OKA I’m staring at you; you arn’t getting close to it. By the time you see a slim chance of getting close to spawning it, Enemy team is either all gone or your team has all left.
• Some aircraft are unfair against. Playing my F-15 against a new player who’s never played jets is kinda an F you in providing fair play. Mig 29 also suffers this unfair advantage.
• Matches being rather unengaging is just downright demoralizing when you can play something else and have more fun. Basically this game mod is a giant "Spawn, fly, get close to dropping bombs, Opp!, you get smacked by a SAM. Do it all over again. 30 mins of back and forth is just boring after the first 10 mins
• This event is more for testing. Don’t expect much
Warthunder used to have some rather fun April fools stuff. The WW1 event, My Little Pony, Potato Tanks, Walker Machines, The Dune game mod - Future thunder, The Alien event, Space thunder, Just to name a few. This doesn’t have any of that charm that the old april fools events had. I’ll GE the bombers just to get them, but this event needs some heavy rework. That or bring something to tag team it with such as the Cartoon event.
Again, these are just my opinions. Take it with a grain of salt.
I rippled off 4x AGM-88 as decoys then gunstrafed 3x SPAA before getting shot down, but thats as much effort as I could be bothered to put into this event
In an event ostensibly dedicated to them, this part is just absurd. In the Great War event you were at least actually using the vehicles you would unlock. They should have made bombers the focus and gone over the top with the nuke stuff instead of gating it behind an SP cost that requires (apparently) something like 20 air to air kills to get.
