so good event, all you see f14 spaming fox3s into br10/11 planes

As usual, they make a game mode that is a fantastic and fun concept, and then their execution of it is sub par

multipath dodges them pretty easy its the OSAs/rolands you gotta worry about

dw gng the OSAs and Rolands can be tricked easily by chaff :)

Missiles aren’t even the scary threat. It’s the Gepards and Shilkas as they are way too accurate

yeah but theres like 15 and your in a dogfight with 3 other jets and THEY MOVE and your RWR cant tell the difference between them and the HAWK and patriot

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
