From what distance are you firing the 88-s? And from what altitude?
use A7E wait for osa to fire on you fire back with agm88 string osa missile along. its better than just throwing yourself at the osa wall over and over
I fly at around 500m altitude until the OSA’s launch at me, I lock the AGM-88s at the OSA’s launching on me, focusing on the convoy OSAs first, then I dive down to treetop level while spamming chaff. Bonus if there’s an ally that’s pulling their attention.
Usually I like to launch from between 5 to 6km away. Sometimes I am a little cheeky and fly low and launch from 3km away, pitching up to lob the AGM-88, but I notice the AGM-88s like to loft and then drop down so that works too.

An hour for 40k silver?
Last update is the step wrong way. You are focusing on earning points and not the main concer and that is brokenly OP AAs. Yeah… lets buff getting points from destroying ground targets… but how am i suppose to get to them when every single AA shot me down earlier than i get to them? Avoiding them by notching, licking the ground and other things doesn´t help at all. Also, fix those invisible rockets from ground AAs, that randomly warp to my position and shot me down. In short, fun factor dropped below zero.
you guys are getting SL? i have 8 ground kills to 4 deaths and in the red rn
I was focusing on ground targets, and not air targets, I would’ve had more silver if I got actual air target kills. Also only using the stock planes, no premiums since my highest BR aircraft in USA is the F-106A.
I can make more with USSR but that’s because the Mig-23s can actually secure air kills unlike the F-4E.
Its not a go at you. just u did work and get peanuts
Guys… thins game mode was okay before, i used to play 2 battles for one stage. i tried the mode today, and its disgusting. you cant even get enough points to drop a small nuke. the grind is way to steep now. and it isnt fun anymore…

I’m aware, but I want Buff and the Tu-95, and USA cannot win the air war with the F-4E so might as well. I see more and more people going for ground targets and USSR players starting to intercept CAS planes more. Won a match as USA just now where we just bled the enemy team dry on tickets. So if you’re playing with the F-4S then its easy to grind SL, but if you want higher SL rewards you play USSR. I had a 200k SL game last night with the Mig-23 and Su-24. The difference was I got 60 ground target kills and 12 air target kills. I switched to the Su-24 as soon as the 30kt was ready and nuked both their shoreline airfields + center airfield then also nuked a HAWK installation and a Patriot site.

I wounder how it goes for people who hated the event before
They Probably go home with 100 points now
I just managed to kill an OSA. Using 4 Harms. As I used my 2 bombs to kill T-80 tanks, both got intercepted by another OSA. Its like impossible to do something meaningful. Map is so saturated with SPAAs. Disgusting.
NPCing is meh. It took me 5 mins flight time. And all my ordnance to kill a single SPAAs among many. All this time efford for 100 game points and 50 spawn points.

This. just playing spaa is unrewarding has hell
Also if the osa claps you get zero points none nada
You could just have been setting on the airfield instead and saved sl

gaijin just HAD to touch the one thing people enjoyed about the event.
A better solution would have been to just buff ground kill rewards and nerfing SAMs, not this

i wait til osa fires at me so its commanding a missile and cant intercept but i also start at the north or south end of the map so its easy to isolate singular spaa

well that only works has long there are no other spaa around and you dont die before the missile hits
its not easy but you have to bait them with your own aircraft
this video has helped alot but its from a few days ago

I honestly believe that the missile spaa’s should be swapped with gun AA’s, the missile spaa’s at hawk, patriot, buk, and s300 sites can remain the same. Facilities probably can have at most one or two missile spaa’s but I honestly feel gun spaa’s would be a lot better than the bullshit that is going on.
Another gripe of mine is all the people playing this mode as they would air arcade: Spawn, fly straight, try to kill enemy, die, repeat.
Like no one except for me and those I squad up with are actively destroying convoys, missile systems, or facilities. Unless you’re playing Russia cause the russia players seem to be the only one bombing anything…
Like no one even tries to defend airfields, they’re just too busy running it down mid. treating the map like it’s a fucking corridor and that there isn’t things needing defending.
I love this mode, I can see so many changes done to it to make it better, but the missile spam is just too much, especially with convoys being rolled out like crazy and each one having a missile system defending it. I enjoy this mode to bits cause I can ground pound since I have terminal skill issue when it comes to air, and unlike air realistic I don’t have to worry about a dozen people, just the occasional one or two who AREN’T running it down mid to try and get enough spawn points for the Buff/Bear like it’s the only thing in the mode…

If there are multiple, you just have to launch more ARMs or bait all of them to go for you and not your missile.
It’s absolutely more than possible to end up killing four SA-8s that engage you simultaneously with all four HARMs on the A-7E, it’s just difficult.
The AA and IFVs are infact cheating.
Also the new ticket bleed system is god awful.
