Yup this is stupid. HAWK’s making ARM shots on front line SPAA’s impossible. And I still have not even tried US against the OSA’s.
@Stona_WT Please send a note to the Dev’s 🙏 OSA’s and HAWK’s are unhinged after today’s update. Ground attacking is more pointless than ever today. Thank you.
Nice! ground pounding is so much better now, thanks 🙏
Just take the HAWK batteries out early? The HAWKs are incredibly easy to kill compared to the Buk batteries. I usually kill the HAWK battery on the flank I’m working during my first sortie
Have you played today since the patch 😉 ? It is WAY worse today.
Please let us know how it goes! And if you find a way to actually get some ground kills 😂
Good luck brother! I am all ears if anyone can find a way to be effective with ground pounding after the update 🤞
Before the update, an air kill gave you 135 sp, now it gives you 65 sp. [From what I’ve heard]
Combined with the new tactical nuke sp increase, it takes 10 kills to get 650 sp (big tactical nuke is 600)
Before, getting 10 kills would get you a bit more than half of the sp you need for the game ending nuke (1350 out of 2500)
And now, if you intercepted while carrying the 600sp nuke (which isn’t hard with the insane anti air), and have to grind it back again from the start, you’ll need another 10 kills, totalling 20 kills which would be more than enough points for the 2500sp nuke before the update.
I’ll give it a shot brb
I are going to loose this USA phase is just garbage play the event rn
I only need 4k points but is just imposible with OSAs killing me seeing trough trees and mountains even worse with people destroying the airfields that I use for bomb targets
yeah the event is so much slower now, you get nothing for air kills and cas is basically impossible without nuke
Just here to complain again that this event would have benefited from the complete removal of Flakrad and OSA from Day 1, and the event has been ruined due to the lack of this.
This don’t even is a April fools event
for me just removing are the ones on the convoys would do, i dont mind much the ones on the bases but man these are really annoying.
Yeah the comboy SPAAs are very anoying
Agreed. Flakrad and OSA’s moving at 40mk/h with undeployed radars shooting me down at ground level.
Now is 75km/h😂
They changed the speed of the convoys from 40km/h to 75km/h
SPAAs are too strong. Game would indeed benefit from removing OSA and Flarak.
Soo you basically have a SPAA trowing missiles at you at 75km/h without stopping
and with a single update gaijin has made the mode more annoying to play.
increasing SP cost for small/medium nuke when SPAA is overperforming like crazy was definitely an option.
Moving the mid airfield so far back that its pointless to use it was also a choice.
thanks gaijin, somehow you manage to ruin a good thing like always :)
If the problem was loose the 1 airfields just make the airfields inmortal
And give better SPAAs to the airfields for have less spawnkill
I think the game is now more balanced between air combat players and ground attack/SEAD players. The SPAA is as oppressive as ever, but can still be taken care of by planning the approach on the map. Ironically using ARMs/unguided rockets for the regular osa/roland’s might be better, because nuking the depots makes them respawn everything while just taking down the spaa leaves them without air cover.
Increasing the distance between airfields just slowed down the gameplay and made non supersonic aircraft that less desirable. I think every player would prefer If all 3 forward airfields were moved a bit closer to speed up the start of the game, and that the depots took a LOT longer to rebuild themselves after being nuked so that you can get actual air combat without being pressured by osa/roland in the later stages of the game - if you made the nukes more expensive, might as well make them more worth it…
If buk fires missile without radar ping (which is common situation at coast) you are dead in most cases. It doesnt ping rwr and it ignores notch and chaff, both strats work if radar pings you
