Everything is on the move
So bombs are out
Laser is also out given they take forever to land and you can’t really fly defensive while launching them
So the only good thing left are TV and ir guided stuff
Both Russia and the us have only a very limited number of those (3 kh29 on the su24 and 2/6 agm65 were only the large dual config is reliable)
And arm seams to be worthless and is on worthless platforms does the su24 and f4e carry arm?.
I am only sure about su25 and a7 and those are painfully slow so you get intercepted or clapped by an s300/hawk before getting into range
Unless you have the premium f18 or av8b
Which gives you 4 big agm65
Bro, i just launched 3 agm’s at a OSA, it destroyed the 3agm’s i went to the floor and spamed flares and chaff and even like that it tracked and killed me ;-;
Rewards of RP and SL also have been nerfed with a huge amount.
I played for an hour (56 minutes), with F-15 researching F-16Pobit. Have premium account and had a 180%!!! (150%+50%) booster active. Made 15 air-to-air kills in those 56 minutes, nuked some ground targets. Over 3000 mission score
Got 28k RP towards the F-16Pobit, and 140k SL.
28k RP and 140k for a good game of 56 minutes!!! With premium account and boosters…
I thought the first day of this event that the rewards in this game mode were actually decent. But now they’re almost nothing?
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.
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 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.
