I really wish this mode had anticheat enabled.
There are Tutorials?
And where was I complaining about the ARMS? I’m complaining about the SAM spamfest. This supposed to be realistic, even at the height of the Cold War even the USSR never had that amount of SAMs on the battlefield.
We are on the English forums. It is natural to believe that B-52H is far more popular if you only see the opinions of the English community. Keep in mind there is a very large Russian speaking community on their own forum, and I am sure they as being from that region of the world see the Tu-95 as Russian’s backbone strategic bomber as more iconic.
On a personal note, while I am American, I think the Tu-95M looks cooler and if I were only allowed one of the two, I would definitely pick Tu-95M.
Again however, most people playing the event are not even going for the rewards, and this forum is absolutely biased towards individuals that are going for rewards who are willing to put in extra time into the game so it is wrong assume those messaging in this thread being representative of the event playerbase.
I mean, numbers back the claim that people is consistently looking after the B-52H anyway, even after the F-14 IRIAF was banned and Osa’s haven’t been nerfed to not fire while on the move. Check some other comments, there’s even screenshots from people in this forum queueing up from CIS and even there, the difference is significant.
Dismissing the reward as an incentive to fully grind an event vehicle is not considering the dedication of the playerbase, and therefore, framing everyone (even casual players who genuinely might be looking out after the B-52) as just meta chasers, which is fundamentally wrong even under your own umbrella of reasoning.
I’m off for the day good luck everybody see you tomorrow.

Thank you for the link. Tried, but the BUKs and the S300 got me for going high. Tried toss bombing, OSAs got me.
As for the SARHs, I seem not to have a problem with the MiG-23. But the F4E… seems better to switch to the Aim-9s.
Yes, the F-4E’s radar will not lock close to ground, it’s not pulse doppler. No point unless you are way up high, but no point in doing that in it anyway.
There are some basic tutorials in the game. You can find them under the “Battles” tab in the top left corner of your hangar page.
If you want better tutorials, you will need to go online. My personal favorite source is Tim’s Variety on YouTube.
Thanks for the suggestion. It’s definitely something to think about.
Thank you. It might be late, but is there any tutorials for this event?
I am not saying that B-52H must not be more popular, I am saying that the root cause of the matchmaker imbalance is not B-52H is more popular than Tu-95M. If you believe that it is truly because B-52H is more popular, feel free to reply with an explanation why the 10.3-12.0 bracket queue times are significantly faster and therefore significantly more balanced than 11.7 to 13.0 by only the fact that B-52H is more popular.
The latest screenshot shows that the imbalance of 10.3-12.0 is half to a third of what 11.7-13.0 is. Keep in mind this is during the US evening while EU and CIS are asleep/early morning, so US biased queueing is expected.

The f4s is currently bugged and can show up in the 11.7 bracket despite being a 12.0.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
No specific ones that I am aware of, but tutorials covering the topics of air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground ordinance, and radar should cover the basics of playing in this event. There are more advanced techniques for things such as dodging various missiles, but those are skills learned through practice.
Did I already said your argument was understandable?:
As less people have MIG-29s, the bigger the queue gap at the 12.0-13.0 matchmaker, while the 10.3-11.7 is the default matchmaker for people who doesn’t own a single jet.
In the end, Russia’s top matchmaker is not nearly as hopeless as this forum or Reddit tries to make it seem.
Going on a limb here. If I’m understanding the problem, the F4E’s radar is the ground clutter, which real radars did face during the Vietnam Era. But wasn’t the fix was to go lower and looking up to get a solid return than looking down and illuminating the target and the terrain?

Seriously fix the fact that the f4s can queue the bottom bracket. The event is literally pay to win while this bug exists

you want to talk about bugs how about the fact the russian planes dont get shot by american aa
This is not a bug. The queues are:
F-4J and F-4S are pretty strong in the lower bracket for sure, but if you removed them US has no legs to stand on vs MLD air-to-air and US vehicles are already weaker than their Russian counterparts (bar 2500 SP strategic bomber) for doing mission objectives.
I don’t think any of the attackers get shot at by the long range sams, but having been shot down by usa sams in russian planes constantly, I don’t believe you
