that the SAMs cannot endlessly spam missiles at you
but that they need to rearm inbetween

Not fair when i purposely played many more matches in RUS
I love this event and i hope it becomes a permanent mode long term!
If i may suggest in the future to allow progression on tasks unrelated to faction in events where popularity unbalanced factions compete.

I don’t expect an answer on this but I think I’ve seen it mentioned by others, how do you plan to give all nations access to it, currently the only way some nations would make sense is that they use a vehicle neither they or their subtrees use which at that point would make no sense to include that nation.
im fairly certain the numbers are because everyone wants the BUFF
I didn’t even realise it went on for an hour and a quarter. This mode really is fun when you’re playing USSR with the Mig-23MLD
Here are a few suggestions:
Allow players to switch air defense systems during a test flight for practicing evading missiles.
Add the ability to intercept munitions in other modes so that GROM-1/2, GBU, or KH-38 missiles cannot be launched at airfields from distances beyond the range of air defense systems.
How about adding munitions that are only available in modes with aircraft, but not in modes with tanks?
In the escalation mode, add the US AGM-88 to aircraft like the F-111 or F-18, which would be more realistic and historically accurate.

have you considered that the BUFF is simply more popular? while the TU-95 is cool a large majority of the people i know who play dont want it but do want the B-52(myself partially included)
This is by far the most fun I have ever had in War Thunder, in the past 10 ish years. It would be a total waste to make this be anything other than a core gameplay mod i.e. The default scenario for Air RB. The fact that it gives you multiple chances via unlimited respawns and the multitude of target engagement scenarios makes this incredibly engaging. I have no doubt it will me modified to be less fun but please try to keep some of the elements which make it so incredibly great. There’a no way to be frustrated when you can respawn 20 times in a match that lasts an hour, even if you get pummeled. I have had matches where I had a 0.3kdr for the first 10 minutes but ended the match with a 2.5kdr simply because I had time to adapt and reassess, smething you simply cannot do in arb.
This definitely has to stay. The sooner, the better. I can tell a lot of parts don’t work as intended yet but it is so fun even like so, definitely better than anything else the game offers. Do try to make strong considerations about this!

the vulcan is a million times better than the mirage 4
You run into the issue that game devs keep having where a plane with a specific strength gets nerf batted just because it’s good in that one specific area
Just like… don’t do that then? Nobody’s forcing you to rush mid. Go bomb something off to the side.
And before you try to claim killing fighters is more profitable…
Not necessarily.
Preset only BR is unplayable for Bluefor. 20mm Vulcan canon vs R-24Rs is just BS.
You need to swtich the Phantom to one with a PD radar.

fakours are way more op than regular C and A model ones as they pull more and are faster
65 ground kills with only one nuke? love that for you
I hope I didn’t imply it was with one, i was throwing B61s all over the place.
That does make me wonder how large the effect would be if I were to drop a 1.6mt on the frontline.
ohhh i misread the scoreboard my bad. yea that’s my main gripe is that air to ground seems to be exclusively done with nukes. would be much harder to translate that into a non nuke gamemode after this event.

Though I’m a bit late, I’m glad to see you on the forum! I think its important for devs to be talking directly with the community more often, especially since we’re often left with vague answers.
sounds almost to good
lets hope they are still decently effective
I have a confession I killed 2 B-52s from dropping their nuke and it was a rush back to back those things are so easy to kill

When being put in 13.0 Lobbies cause of my 11.7 Loadout, I always see the Bombers being intercepted like 20 Seconds after they spawn
