How can OSA missile’s pull like an AIM-9X and besides that track you through the ground, below the horizon, through mountains, trees, etc?
How are you supposed to deal with these?
i dont know how it tracks you through mountains, but trees? its basic
Myself, i only find it possible to stay alive after OSA launch only if can dive behing rock. That helps
Same with the Roland.
Did anyone else’s game suddenly started to update? On Steam my game is updating for some reason but I can’t find any posts about a new update to the game, I’m honestly looking for further adjustments to the game mode particularly with the accuracy of SPAAs like the OSA lol
They should probably ban Phantoms with point doppler radar in the lower bracket. Its every match the same. F-4J racks up dozens of kills and F-4E players have nothing left to shot. Its like Great War biplanes and P-51 in one match competing for kills.
If that’s the case, the MiG 23’s need to go since they got MTI.
got a new plane that must be removed everyday?
Add the F-111F for USA

I have had much higher success in performing S/DEAD with the A-7 than Su-25T.
I have a fairly consistent method now, and can almost always get 3 or 4 HARM kills per sortie. Su-25T on the other hand hasn’t been quite as successful for me. I’ll have to try with the 4x ARM loadout on Su-25 since I was using the loadout with AT-16 missiles and two ARMs next time.
This being said, the A-7 is 100% not viable to do literally anything other than throw HARMs around at SA-8 launchers. Too slow to get near the better AA, not enough payload to deal with tank columns and can’t take out bases after knocking down their SAM protection.
People seem complain a lot about this event forgetting this is basically in beta phase.
I’ve never seriously played ARB, AAB on the other hand a lot and somehow I get quite some entertainment playing this event.
People say this US this USSR that, like everyone in the enemy team is an ARB expert, but that is not true at all, I’m one of those ARB newbies that makes a lot of mistakes and I bet there are many like me out there.
I’ve been killed many times in my almost stock F15, F14, F18 or Mig29s to those default planes, even by F4E.
I’d say this event is fun because it’s quite challenging, especially for non ARB players, but it’s exactly as the game should be, to test and train those braincells God gave you!
Good luck out there!
Why can the OSA in nuclear thunder fire while moving? The OSA in the TT can’t even do that!

Was actually referring to the amount of time it takes to get a match for the US. (BR12.3 and up)
Same for the Roland. They can fire on the move just fine in the event…

That’s exactly the key point — this is essentially a beta (or maybe even an alpha). Something like this shouldn’t be a reward-based event. A lot of players are participating mainly to obtain (for now) unique aircraft.

I guess that the April fools.
I believe this is officially the most commented on post in this forum. Shows how much the community is interested in this event

Russia’s SU-24 needs to be removed as a nuke carrier unless the F-111 gets them too. The immense low level capability the SU-24 has over anything the US has is actively the main deciding factor of games and is as big of a problem as the OSAs being disgustingly good. I definitely agree the mode needs to be evaluated further because at the moment the game still plays like the TDM style AirRB but with air defenses and a viable option of contributing to strike and attack jets. But BVR is still dead and the chaos and overwhelming nature is still present. Honestly I think spotting needs a little tuning in this mode too. Maybe give us back the minimap but make spotting outside of 10km client-side only?
Oh and for the love of God make missile RCS lower. This inadvertently helps the R-27ER slingers by cluttering the radar screen and isn’t realistic, especially for RIO equipped jets.
Overall it’s a great mode. 8.5/10 even in its current state.

Trees are radar-transparent ig, this is why they are the true AA

I tink that the event is cool but the balancing is dogshit. I play low tier props cuz i dont have jets. I want to get the event vehicels cuz they are cool. It was my first time in a jet, i watched some tutorials and understand some of the mecanics but you only get the f4e and mig 23mld. and if you play russia you will have to face sweats in they f4j/f4s who have a god radar comperad to the mig23mld/f4e who cant even lock a flyinging building. you get killed by radar missile after radar missile and chaff wont help either. and the aa is way to op you cant chaff or flare this like the flakpanzer or osa. Jea you can multipath and notch but how are noobs like me who only whant the event vehicles suposed to do suce crazy doge mecanics. This event is the perfect example that war thunder needs skill based matchmaking.
Why did gaijin buff the OSKA-s this much?
Every single game the entire kill feed is OSKA-s absolutely shitting on people. This is a fucking massacre. They are ridiculously overpowered to the point where if you play as USA, you just have to accept that 80% of the time when you die its going to be because of some OSKA that’s going to snipe you from 10 km with no warning while you are multipathing and chaffing and notching and terrain masking etc. They just simply don’t care because apparently Stalin himself is guiding the missiles into your face.
And by the way this is only the OSKA. The S300, the HAWK, the BUK, the Roland, the Flakpanzer1 are all perfectly fine and balanced.
Meanwhile the OSKA operators are smoking some super crack
