useless developer. You should be ashamed of making such a terrible event.
Yea they got gutted real bad since launch. I remember getting 60-80k without boosters and now its 20-30k at most.

Flares/chaff do not work on those, they guide their missiles using aimbot, not radar. You can even see them fire while having radar off.
its amazing how they managed to destroy a fun event with a single patch

12.3 KDr is overstating, F-4S cannot bring that many AIM7-F. If you manage to do that, it is because of your own flying skills.
Run the A-7E with 4x AGM-88A’s for SEAD, then come back with the A-10 for ground targets once you’ve isolated a group, rinse and repeat. Russians have it much easier cuz their best SEAD aircraft doubles as their best strike one too.
This is how it actually works: Run the A-7E with 4x AGM-88A’s for SEAD. Get maybe 1 hit if you lucky. So you have to do like 4 sorties to actually make the area somewhat safe. So that takes at least 30 minutes and you get 100 points mission score per AA so you get 400 points in 30 minutes.
Don’t even think about doing all that work and getting the ground targets, because you will do all the work of taking out the AA but then a friendly will swoop in to bomb all the ground targets with single nuke.
It’s fun!
What happend to the reward points, i usually get around 3k points a match but now i cant even get 1.5k a match ( i couldnt even finish the stars for today cuz i just didnt have anymore time), the spaa is moving like jhon wick cuz wtf do you mean an Osa can hit me while moving, when im at 20m altitude, without its damn radar deployed.
It feels worse to play than when i could face shit like mig 29’s and f14’s

This is objectively the worst April Fools event in the history of War Thunder
This is why soviets are superior (again) - frogfoot can delete spaa guarding that area and then use vikhrs on other tanks. No need to rtb or change to other jet. Plus 2 r73 for random goobers.
First day of this event was actually fun
Then Gaijin noticed people were having fun and thought “well we can’t have that!”
So next time gaijin introduces something decently fun, we all have to be like "welll nahhh it’s pretty mid and boring’ so they won’t immediately nuke all the fun

Yep, went from a fun gamemode to one of the most boring ever added.
SPAA are just death spheres, people who have US and USSR TTs have an overwhelming advnatage. USSR has a clear advantage over US when using hte default loadout.

The only thing nuclear about this event is Gaijins ability to nuke all the fun

I think the best change in the event was the addition of the border between 13.0 and 10.7 (i think, i dunno about the preset br’s)
I wish the aardvark was available for the us. That plane is really cool
Or the Tornado. So stupid its once again US and USSR event
Is it even possible to get the B-52 or Tu-95 tomorrow after this update?
This event should have had the F-4J as the ‘free’ plane with the F-111 as the tactical bomber.
I think F-4E is just inherently boring. Having an F-4J (and a similar better plane on soviet side) with PD radar would make for a whole lot more interesting gameplay.

I think it might have been better if gaijin only allowed select planes and banned radar missiles. Only guns, heaters, and CAS options. I really wanna go for AA and ground targets more but the clutter of enemy jets w radar missiles and SPAA’s make it just unfun (especially on the US side which is where im having the most trouble without any of my own jets i can bring)
I would also have loved to see naval targets to shoot at and aircraft carriers to takeoff from.
Yep, it is cuz you need 5 marks for each and there are 6 available per plane in total, so you could skip 1 and still get it
If theyre gonna allow bringing your own planes they should lowkey just have removed the country limits. I really wish i could bring some of my Japanese planes for NATO side… and Chinese jets for BRICS
