Nah I quite enjoy flying along and getting whacked without warning by one of those SPAAs.
S-300, Patriot, Buk, HAWK: What did I do???

As if people don’t complain about them too
I mean, since I’ve started playing I’ve only been killed once by any one of those (S-300…) and that was my bad for flying high and TikTok scrolling 😂
Seriously though. If you pay attention, notch and do whatever else to avoid them they’re not really a problem. It takes actual skill to get shot down by something ~80 km away.
In a turn of events that should surprise no one, they are still not fixed and operate like Chinese tanks in GRB. The event continues to be ARB with extra steps.
Also, to those who continually camp the bomber spawns, then complain that the match is taking forever, and they have to keep flying from the main airfield just to get shot down over and over. Yes, that is annoying me too. Please go back to seal clubbing in the greyhound or something. This is a limited time event with absolutely no bonus for shooting down the bomber, let everyone drop their one nuke and get their screenshot.
Or don’t. If your life is so sad you have to sit at 10k for an hour straight to get a tiny dopamine rush, you do you.
No because I like intercepting bombers

Don’t remove it just fix what saclos can see through

Yeah, they’re still quite overtuned

I don’t even mind that they fire on the move I just want the sight lines fixed
I’m not complaining.
Cause camping the bomber spawns is what gives data back to Gaijin on how to tune their ECM code to function the way they want it to.
Without that data, they’re running on incomplete information.

Balance changes can skew the data set but they also need enough data to work with (in terms of the ARMs) most people haven’t been using them or even tried to use them

I’ve used ARMs for some time now (using them in the match I’m in right now even) and in my experience they can be quite useless sometimes because they’ll end up being completely intercepted

You pretty much need to fire 2-3 at one target as they are right now
I wouldn’t mind needing to use that many if we had a faster way to rearm them, as of now it seems more useful to just go there yourself and gun them down

Or use them as a distraction to gun the spaa down lol
KD isnt everything its a supporting source not a primary the MIG-29-9.13 is more than fair to go against the F15A the F15A has better FM and better seeker performance at range for the AIM-9M but at close ranges the R73 is better. the MIG-29 the only advantage the 29 has is R27ER and everything else is roughly even.
most of the KD difference anyways is from the MIG 23MLD vs F4E which isnt really a fair fight
and before anyone says the 9L makes even your wrong the R60M also got a seeker BUFF making it impossible to flare in head ons if you dont move it happens with the 9L aswell but the 9L pulls less of the rail even preflaring wont stop it 100% so the R60M has slight edge in this mode
Thanks, I managed to nuke 2 times in a row now, the first time I removed about 4 or 5 buk/s300 sites and the 2nd time I just removed the nearest buk from spawn evaded the s300 by notching once or twice.
When you get near the base the SAMs seem to stop targeting you

Joined into a match where the enemy team only had 5 points left, which meant the moment i took off from the airfield, match was already over
This is getting a bit stupid

had that 5 times in a row today and yesterday, pathetic lol
Don’t they respawn? Everything respawns from what I’ve seen
Because as soon as someone like Alvis the hero of the Soviet Union, spawncamps them trying to get their big nuke drop, they leave. Since they spent the last hour trying to earn it and he spent the entire hour loitering in space, while arguing on this forum waiting for you to spawn. The entire nature of this event is promoting the most toxic behavior possible in an arena with unlimited respawns.
