All of that started because AA were too strong and here we are after multiple changes and AA are still too strong.
But HEY if it was easier to grind the event, GAIJIN wouldn’t be able to make you buy the B52 and TU95 without grinding

yes, but unfortnutaly I haven’t done 1 of USA so I’ve to suffer 1 more day
Just revert the nuke cost and mission score and Spawn point them there will be less people complaining.

Can we remove Rolands and OSAs from the convoys and add back the Gepards and Shilkas?
The AA issue is made worse by the fact that Rolands and OSAs in convoys are moving and firing at the same time which is NOT how that works. I can accept Gepards and Shilkas firing on the move, but not Rolands and OSAs.

That’s right, but some AA need some nerfing, especially for locking you trought the mountain or if you’r on the sea behind a hill
Fun event but those Osa AAs are a menace
Before if they had radar lock, you could at least chaff the missile away
After recent changes? Nah, they just switch to SACLOS (Or manual, whatever it is… They just ignore chaff). Not even being on deck helps now
I can’t agree more on that, but it still is a new problem that GAIJIN created while no one was complaining, so both need to get fixed
just add the su27 and the giant queues will be gone
Last night there were heart breaking posts in the chat as “i want to sleep” and “i want to finish this and go hug my cat”. This game is not about fun, but frustration.

Major problem of this mode is the implementation of AI SAM which development team for some reason insists not to correct.
Perfect accuracy against players and guided munitions, No LOS requirement for guidance, Quick Respawn times and RWR clutter makes things borderline unplayable for this mode.
They really have to read-up about how layered air defense strategy and IADS works and redo the air-defences all together.
Frontline starts with MANPADS and as you get deeper so does the complexity of the missile systems. For example: SA-7>SA-9>SA-8>SA-11>SA-21
They should add big depots near the main airfield and respawn ADS units from there, slowly moving towards their predesignated positions instead of what we have and their spawn time should be increased as well. This will give a reason to do SEAD or DEAD and actually give an advantage for the team / player.
And most obviously add a Line of sight check for SAMs and reduce their accuracy against guided munitions. at best, 2 or 3 out of 4 HARMS should get intercepted, not all of them plus the aircraft that launched them.
Also, Jammer pods for all aircraft if they insist having so many sam sites in a such tightly packed map. Make it so turning them on also degrades the range and performance of your onboard radar so people won’t be jamming all day long without having no consequences.
Deep strikes (besides airfields) could be also added which give better rewards for the higher risk. They could be simple as military buildings/manufacturing plants.

emhh, no?
no most people want b52 also with the new aa it does not really mater what air to air you bring
I know, but i want the 2 bomber witout paying the snail :(
USA gonna get bullied by the Su-27 if added.
I kept asking in side whos ready to hit the uninstall then- the replies were more amusing than the gameplay.

Don’t you see it ? They refuse to aknowledge the AA problem making it almost impossible to ground pound, makes it harder to get nuke, harder to get points by killing other aircraft
They want your money
They want you to spend so much time on this event that you will end up buying the planes instead of grinding it
we have to resist
I’m ready to uninstall once the event ends, it’s so sad how they have been directly downgrade the event more and more with these “fixes” instead of just nerfing the atrociously OP SPAAs that even intercept your munitions when baiting them with your whole plane, this game was the most fun I’ve had in War Thunder for years only for it to become a slog and a very frustrating experience, I thought War Thunder was so back for me but I forgot this is Gaijin we are talking about, sad but I guess I’ll look forward to Forza Horizon 6 or play old game on PCSX2 on my free time than slaving away at this.
Gaijin really knows how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at the last second.

Spot on. It amazes me that after over a decade players dont see exactly how war thunder rolls.

I have played this game long enough to recognise the pattern. However, i do also see that they have plans for this game-mode to become permanent new mode which is the reason of feedback i’ve given.
