the presets are balance against each other quite well, ussr gets better ground pounding to make up for their lack of air, usa gets the opposite. if people actually played the pve that would be evident, hence why i love the reward changes.
That too. Russia in this event gets the better AA and the better free lineup compared to the US.
your joking right
MIG-23MLD is the BEST 11.7 against the best F4E 11.3 is not fair fight at all
this is like MIG 19 vs sabre dog
I’m sitting here trying to understand the actual game design behind this mode while a bunch of newbies cry about the fact their planes aren’t as good at the other players.
oh dude you don’t even understand the imbalance, let alone how its meant to be balanced.
which is why they gave the free f4 aim 9ls, so that its 11,7 and opened up the bracket to the f4j which is closer to the f15 in ordinance than the mig23.
why do you think every match the f4j and f4s have like 20 kills
R60M is just as good they gave it the same seeker buff
so youre saying they not only balanced the f4 to be equal to the mig 23, but also balanced the mig23 to match?!? how incredible
I didnt lose my aircraft though?
Don’t doubt yourself, this is an AI problem, not your technical problem. Their locking method is not the same as using radar waves or electro-optical locking in land warfare mode. This thing will lock your game ID at the game code level, and there is no countermeasur

I would rather have the working radar of the MLD with my SARHs over the dysfunctional radar of the 4E, thank you.
that is hilarious considering how the mig23’s radar is utter dogshit compared to the F-4S AND J that are currently cleaning the low bracket
you have no clue what your on about that like saying the F4E is the similar in load out the A model tomcat cause they both have AIM-7E2s and AIM-9s
first of the F4J has limited to HDN PD in all modes it also only gets AIM-9Gs which are less flare resistant in the new mode than the R60M and AIM-9L AND it doesnt have any DOGFIGHT slats so the MIG-23MLD the best 11.7 dogfighter can run circles around it
the MIG 23MLD has MTI mode which while limted always works in look down no matter the direction so multipathing can be just as hard as F4J and limited load out but its R24Rs are very potent and it has better flight model than pretty much any other F4 as it pulls 1-2 G more and retains speed better
its a comprimise for the MIG-23MLD if its MTI wasnt limited the way it is IT WOULD BE 12.0 easily
And we have gone full circle because
Stuff like the su25 and a10a are still ass because they are slow has hell
And the winners are su17 mig27k and su24
Sounds good until you realize the mig29smt and su30(premium) would blow any competition out of the water if they were allowed in
Given they are faster but still carry the same or even better missiles
And it does not get better at 14.0 were almost all fighters come with good cas
Not everyone has Js and Ss. And compared to the 4E, MLDs radar is infinitely better.
I count that has an aircraft loss
Did they nerf the explosive range of every bomb because of this event?
maybe could be why , dumb thing to do tho
I am playing prop ARB and the bomb cannot kill truck

tragic :(
I just ended a session with a very weird bug - upon releasing my nuke it just seemed to disappear. I had no idea where it was, so I rolled over, and dove for the ground, hoping to dodge both the OSA’s and the blast - and just when I was above the ground out of nowhere the bomb seemed to appear out of my F-4. I had just enough time to see it disappear before my F-4 got vaporised. And not the SAM site some 10 km further that I had lobbed it at.
And with that, I lost all of my spawnpoints.
The f4j/f4s, keeping in mind the current meta is pd radar and radar missiles since buk telar and hawk is forcing everyone on the deck, compared to the mig23mld has better:
- search range
- sweep angle
- sweep angle options
- tilt angle
- sweep speed
- acm box
- acm range
- acm options (hmd)
- control over radar mode
- chaff filtering (because of said control)
- and better rwr
That is for the innate downside of having 3 times the radar missiles of the mig23mld.
so long as you arent stupid and take it into a dogfight, usa teams have every advantage in pvp over russian teams, you can watch that much yourself by playing any match in the lower bracket.
slower aircraft are better at ground pounding. the a-10 does not go 600kph because they didnt care to make it faster. you have much more time in the window where your ordinance outranges that sams, and much more time on target in general. they suck ass because you suck ass in them, they are literal monsters for ground pounding.
yes, I believe that is intended, since the f4e’s radar is much better than the mig’s and forces usa players to focus down the hawks in order to open up their better air to air option, something they are entirely not doing because they have the f4j and f4s which are incredibly op.
yall are applying the exact same mindset of air rb onto this event and then getting unhappy that it doesn’t play like air rb. gajijn is trying to no remake air rb and the only advice people are giving them is ‘event sucks make it air rb.’
