that helped Thanks!
What in the actual hell was the Russian SPAA buffed for? The game was already unbalanced towards Russia, and if there was one thing universally echoed from the start by players is that the SPAA was too strong. Now you have Osa being straight laser beams to anything in range, and the BUK can even target you behind hills. You legit can’t fly at sea level down the coast line any more because the BUK can blind fire at you over hills.

Could we expect an official announcement about AI nerfs or anything tomorrow or Tuesday?

na according to the snail they are underperforming they are goin to get a buff now
yeah, because anything above 11.3 goes into the higher BR bracket, which is odd given the 11.7 preset for Russia, it should really be set as 10.3 to 11.7 and 12.0 to 13.0
It wasn’t just Russian SPAA, I just got clapped multiple times by Hawks and rolands while behind hills, spamming CMs and in a both a notch and multipath

OSA is by far the biggest offender because it’s mobile and has 6 missiles. So it’s not just in stationary batteries, its every fucking where on the map, firing on the move nearly nonstop. And since it’s technically SACLOS missiles, you get no lock warning. So fucking cool. But apparently, either Gaijin just doesn’t care, or it’s extremely hard for them to move the “laser accurate” slider down, because they are contributing to the toxic meta that is driving us all insane now.

The roland is just as powerful, the main difference is that the osa has longer range, also for some reason they can keep shooting missiles without reloading the 2 ready to fire

Hey man, i know im only 1 of 67 (i said the thing) replies but i have an issue with this gamemode
i wait hours to join a server because no one plays on the soviet team, i missed one of the requirements because the servers where so empty, there are like 2 people on que for team A and like 300 for team B, we should possible allow bot servers, although not as fun as normal players i would rather play with bots than not at all, i want a glorious b52 but if i miss this event due to lack of players i am going to go insane
Sincerely

you can buy the stars for GE if you dont have the time.
The Russian SPAA is nuts but with the F-4S in the lower bracket and the F-15/16/18 in the upper bracket it’s far from rigged for Russia. The default Russian lineup is strong for the lower bracket but the US team has strengths that make up for it in their own default lineup. The F-4S is a menace at the moment and any semi-competent player gets a free pass to a B52 in the first 20 minutes of the match.
i think thats cuz majority US players are ass so thats why gaijin decide to have asym
its pretty true cuz when i play US on lower bracket they just ran into the middle, fire missiles, crashed and respawn and theres usually people flanking and taking out airfield from the side
usa is abysmal. the 9m irccm does nothing while the r73 will ignore flares endlessly
Have you ever used it?

Yeah it’s a really unfun gameplay loop. The osas are instant deathium if you get close, the radar on the F-4E is poor, and the fight is forced onto the deck by the AA. The AA steals your kills constantly, and the F-4S/F-4Js mop everything up with no comparable fighter on the USSR team.

yes i have a full top tier russian lineup and have used the base variant of the r77. and out of the 20 or so event matches ive played on USA, the USA team has never overran the entire map and been loitering over the russian airfield. and nearly every USA match ive played the russian team is loitering over the USA airfields.

Did you not test it at all? The OSA’s are ridiculous
I just discovered there is NPCs friendly fire at you. Got shot down by a Flakpanzer in my A7.
And now I’ve lost 600000 silver lions doing this event. :(
ah the dev lead is russian, that makes a lot of sense. no wonder everything in usa is useless lol…
I’m realizing the hilarious truth that everyone is literally just playing air rb over the actual event and then complaining when the sams get in their way. gaijin please make the rewards equal for pve and pvp, pve is literally harder to play right now but pvp gives more rewards. no one is playing the event, just dogfighting over it for score.
