It’s not just replays from the event. Matches that last over 30 minutes have this issue. The cutoff time is random as far as I can tell but are anywhere from 15 minutes - 50 minutes in. This issue has been present for ages but has become more noticeable because of the event.
I did make a report for this issue actually - Replay mode can’t watch a full replay.
I didnt have problem with F-14B at all (its was much easier target than FA-18 which multipath all the time). Today I shot down three of them by Yak-141 while I lost only one by F-14B because I had little bit problem holding low altitude while I do sharp turns (I will improve it :D). Its pretty easy to shot down them by R-27ER with HMS. They standardly fly high so no multipath. Just lock them with HMS, launch missile and hug earth while radar guide missile to F-14B. Radar on Yak-141 have pretty big vertical angle so no problem at all.
I was trying to record a portion much later into the match but my OBS died so I went to the replay to get it. Guess it’ll be unavailable lol.
Any chance you guys plan to keep the nukes even in if just in test drives maybe? They are stunning.
is there a possibility for other nations to be added in the future? it seems every time we get a test it seems to be america vs russia which is fine for a while but adding some european nations to it would be nice variety (yes im begging for the vulcan)
The loadouts are definitely unfair. the fact the er is better at range and pulls a few G more doesn’t affect the gameplay at all still facing much better loadouts
If you can remember the date and time you can wait for the server replays to be accessible and stream it to your client. It will take you ages to view it because of how they work but it’s manageable.
It’s their first ever gamemode like it they had to start somewhere. I’m sure later down the line things will improve like loadouts and specific aircraft.
yeah after the iriaf got banned i dont see to much imbalance the F14 being removed is more just so theres no Fox 3 spam for 1 nation and not the other
Naval targets would be nice too for the future being able to add MPAs hint hint
It was in the last 10 mins of the replay so I can guess.
Ye, or for Custom Battles, Nukes and Strike Drones
it really isnt that bad
the mig29 genuinely might be the best plane to use for it i dont understand what there is on us thats so good against it
Also are you guys planning on using the massive airfields in any other modes? Would be nice to see them outside of the mode in air battles for RB and Sim or even as the test flight airfield.
Or even make them usable in the CDK so people can add them to custom missions? (If the CDK is ever updated as it currently does not work at all)
I’d spend hours looking at them in the test drive ngl, especially the big ones :)
Thank you for your answer and I find it nice to see more community interaction happening with you like the video Q&A and this forum talking ))
Hi, I have few question since you answered most of the bots that is moving and shooting.
The plans for this mode, will there be more improvement in this game mode, to attract more players ?
Will there be Ai driven vehicles like Early warning planes like AWACS and air refuelers like the KC 130 and IL76 Candid ?
Regarding Strategic bombers, when they come, will some of them have stand off munitions like the tomahawk and KH101 ?
Since you are still over here, I would like to seize the opportunity to ask you something!
I haven’t shared many thoughts about this event because I’m primarily a ground player, so air matters aren’t really my thing.
However, it is endearing to see such work and effort put into such a warmly welcome and carefully crafted gamemode! It was clearly a success within the air community.
I therefore would like to ask; can you share whether there may be any plans for similarly new/reworked modes for Ground players?
Lmao
The MiG-25 can’t even kill the bombers without ramming (assuming the bomber knows how to use countermeasures). The MiG-23 does the job of intercepting 1000x times better
Also people aren’t camping the airspawn for an hour lol, they can see if/which player is going to have a nuke soon based on their experience, ground kills and bombing and then get their interceptor up.
Also based on my experience, there will be someone trying to intercept you when using a nuke only around 1/4th of the time. If someone tries it’s best to be aware, use countermeasures appropriately, your gunners if you have them, maneuver so they can’t gun you down; or at best: use teamwork, multiple bombers at the same time makes it really hard for the enemies to intercept.
Not to mention that just getting the bomber and bombing the airfield without a little action would be boring anyways.
Lets keep it on topic, Thanks!
