No you cant unfortunately. You can only check what it carry and what stats it have. Test drive is not available.
I may not understand something, but why does the American Patriot just instantly shoot down my Tu-95, and the S-300 doesn’t even shoot at the B-52?
(Maybe it’s already been answered here, but I’m too lazy to read 4000+ messages)
There is no gatekeeping here.
Anybody can participate in this event. The controls in Air RB are the same as in Arcade and we are provided with free lineups if we don’t have the available vehicles researched.
That challenge is not hard to do. Torpedoes easily sink destroyers and frigates can also stand their ground gainst them.

You’re still missing the point. 10/10 not actually reading anything i wrote but still replying twice.
I know, I’m a naval player. It was an example of something else that shouldn’t be in the game though.
Think about those poor ARB/AAB players who can’t stand boats being forced to somehow get into a match with a coastal and bluewater ship and trying to hit the bluewater with a torpedo, just to complete the battlepass they paid actual money for.
Also, pretending there’s no gatekeeping when the event expects people to be able to use high tier jets in realistic is delusional at best, and dishonest at worst.
For a non-zero number of people the only way to complete this task is to get killed by a human player 70 times so they make 7k points via death.
You’re able to find games playing the US inside 3 min when you squad up…don’t know why but it works.
? you just dont like that too unlock the b52 and t95 you have to play this gamemode
They can check beforehand whether or not they want to do all the challenges.
It also is not necessary to finish all challenges.
And those poor pure air players would run into the same self inflicted troubles with challenges that involve tanks.
Most of the Battlepasses offer rewards for all branches, so it only makes sense that all branches get tasks.

That’s my point, yes.
If you like this game mode, cool story, very good, excellent. That means absolutely nothing to the people who don’t play ARB but would still like the vehicles.
Every other vehicle event allows a wide range of modes to complete. realistic, arcade, sim, any BR above rank 3, etc. This is very narrow on multiple dimensions, and that’s bad, because it collapses player choice, for absolutely no reason other than some “theme”.
Testing this mode should be for decals or something, not for vehicles which are effectively only useful in 8.x sim, while bizarrely requiring 10-12.x realistic to get them.
What kind of answer is this?
Are you defending shit stuff because it’s possible to see that it’s shit?
What is even wrong with you people, lol.
Google “toxic positivity” and stop doing whatever it is you’re doing right here.
I barely play ARB and suck at it too and have no problem playing it.

Its an event, the B52 and TU95 are strategic bombers so it makes sense to get them throw a gamemode thats about strategic bombing,

He even quoted where you spoke about players like himself…
You can rant all you want, but Gaijin has given you the option to GE both vehicles. They’re a for profit company and they certainly know what they’re doing. They know there are people like yourself who will loath this gamemode and how they’ve done it, and they’re hedging their bets that the FOMO will get you opening your wallet.
The community has already shown this is correct. Heck, there was even a spike in sales of the F-14I when it was shown to be OP in this mode (just for it to be banned the next day, LOL). People will open their wallet.

The only thing that i don’t find nice and that needs ballancing for now is the nuke yolo death runs.
You can launch the nukes too far from the point and even if you die at 4km from the objectives,you still get the nuke on point.
ahh yes, rewarding gaijin for poor design decisions. best response yet.
in which way does it make sense to play 10.x-12.x ARB to get an 8.x bomber that’s realistically only useful in sim?
you’ve literally just made my own argument for me. that’s my whole point. the vehicle isn’t actually well matched to the event, beyond some superficial “nuke” theme. The actual gameplay and mechanics of the event has zero overlap with the gameplay and mechanics of the vehicle.
also, i don’t know why i’m always so surprised at the sky high levels of contrarian fanboyism and toxic positivity here, it’s like a black hole of self awareness.
You forgot EC naval
Hello!
I see you took a screenshot through the game client — that’s very good (such screenshots leave a mark in the log, which helps developers investigate the issue). Please file a report at Community Bug Reporting System , attach this screenshot and the log file from that client session, and send me the link (by replying to me or via private message).
And were you eventually able to get into the battle, or did you cancel the wait?
P.S. I myself waited in such a queue, but it took me a reasonable (given the player count imbalance) ~30 minutes.
