Lmao, that is fair. One moment. EVERY year they post some WILD false nonsense in the first April Fool’s post. I will show you a couple, hang on.
Ok here is a list of previous events if you want to browse: War Thunder's Past and Current Events
Then, here is 2023’s FALSE April Fool’s post:
THEN they posted the “real” one that it was just an event, not a new game mode:
B-52 unable to use tail gun BUG
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?
F-4E can carry the 30KT nuke and keeps ALL of its air to air armament while doing it. MiG-23MLD loses the R-24s.
dont need them if your dropping a nuke sparrows are just about as useless
just more weight i would ditch all missiles and just take nuke
speed is key
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.
not useless just when there low they cant hit anything
Well, yeah, that’s why you fly high and get cheeky nuke slingers or try to force the enemy to fly higher
why are not multipathing they cant do anything just flare and run the F4E cant lock low
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?!?
I load only mt Mig 23ML 11.7
It puts me with the 13.0’s
F-15’s, F-18s, F14’s.
I quit.
Also always a ending losing game.
I have do not join active matches on.
11.7 is the cut off point where you’re put in the second bracket I believe, that’s the issue
̶Y̶e̶a̶h̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶T̶N̶T̶ ̶e̶q̶u̶i̶v̶a̶l̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶F̶A̶B̶-̶9̶0̶0̶0̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶l̶y̶ ̶h̶i̶g̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶F̶A̶B̶-̶5̶0̶0̶0̶.̶
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.
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.
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
Both MLD and Su24 flares shoot upwards. Fire a 9L from above, it’ll go right through them.
Yeah, the enemy aren’t free kills. Try a little harder.
The russia equivalent to the F-4E in this mode is the Su-24, which is much worse in every relevant way.
OSA seems a bit overpowered lol.
upwards popping flares are the best flares for multipathing ? as they pop up and away also IR missiles apparently work different in this mode not sure how differently tho
ROLANDs are also OP just there 6 mile instead of 12 like OSA
I wish gaijin toned down on the AAs around the map, 10-15% less AAs maybe, right now they can feel way too oppressive even if you’re using radiation missiles
