its not only the buk, its all missile systems with their broken ai
Yeah the AI is OP also on naval they are like snipers against planes
1st sortie HAWK battery out of action:
I kinda screwed up and died in the process, but nothings changed from what I can tell.
I can only speak about buk because I only played soviets yesterday as mig23mld coastal patrol without going too deep inside enemy territory. Played as us rest of time
the mode was actaully enjoyable until the spaa buff

Oh yeah it’s not about going after the HAWK’s themselves directly, its about trying to go after the front line SPAA’s. Also, how did you kill the HAWK’s? Nuke? Did you get the nuke with air to air kills?
That’s the problem. For those who want to do SEAD work/ground pounding from the start of the mission, the HAWK’s and OSA’s are making it impossible.
Lobbing a nuke of course works (if that is what you used.) It’s the ARM’s that are even more useless than before today’s patch.
Man if they don’t fix the SPAAs now or extend the time of this phase I will don’t do It is just suffer against SPAAs that see me trough trees and mountains
At least I did the ruski phase in the Morning

Seems like score per player kill is also reduced now, lovely.

I feel like the biggest issue is there testing EW and ARH but not really committing to it. Why bother giving us SEAD without jamming? The AA is able to perfectly intercept missiles so the ARH missiles are useless.
Its just too risky to bother doing SEAD, much better to farm kills and chuck a nuke.

Yeah now is harder get nukes because that
multipathing the BUK over the water has gotten me a 90% survival rate.
The coastal side is pretty much free, especially if you nuke the BUK and S-300 site there asap. it’ll give you a free corridor/springboard.
yes, it was not even enemy air it is just the spaa´s shooting most cas bombs down and using them froma suitable height is also impossible bc of the spaa´s.
may I add that the amout of radar pings make the arm´s also unusable since they go for sth in the back.
Grinding 600 points with new reduced payouts for air kills is hard enought. When you get shot by one of these cracked SPAAs without delivering it, you can leave the match. You won’t recover from this. The whole gamemode went from fun to toxic with the latest changes. They also moved the airfields, which slows everything down. Especially for subsonics.

It was already toxic because the people that bring OP planes tell me on which April fools event they letted you use your own vehicles
I played 5(includin this one) April fools events this is the only one that let you use your own stuff
I played movile infantry worm thunder and the WW1 thing and the Mad Maxthing I played all of this none of them letted you use your vehicles only this one
Yup, this seems to be worse today too. Yesterday/before I was able to reset the ARM’s lock within 1 or 2 tries. Today multiple times I couldn’t it to stop locking on the dang PATRIOT battery 🤣
And obviously it was going crazy on the HAWK’s radar too. Maybe only 10%-25% of the time was I able to get it to lock onto the front line SPAA. But by then I was too close to dodge front line SPAA, or the HAWK’s missile came down and murked me, while I was chaffing/notching/multipathing 🤦♂️
buk´s and hawks are pretty easy to dodge while multipathing, they can get oppressive when you use terrain as cover and feel save bc the radar shouldnt be able to find you. its the short/mid range spaa which is annoying to multipath, since in some non flat terrain its nearly impossible to dodge them.

Have you played today after the patch lol? Multipathing HAWK’s is uh…NOT working properly.
It doesn’t sound like you have played matches on the RU side today after the patch brother lol. Please let us know if you have, and/or come back after you experience the “update” 😂
Oh I quoted two of you guys 😄 Please let us know if either of you have tested after the patch today 👍

guess i just wont be getting the B52 then
Multipathing works but still when it fires without radar ping, missile sometimes just does direct hit like its fim92e but telephone pole.
I do that every time I get a nuke because of those no radar shots. After bitter experience.
