I just don’t understand why, when the purpose of this event is ground strike and the use of new muntions(antirad missiles), ground strike is being completely discouraged and deathball dogfighting and suiciding in the middle of the map is being encouraged

I hope I pull them from the mods box then lol
The only logical solution here is:
Leave the B-52 at 8.7
Drop the TU-95M to 8.0
Drop the TU-4 to 7.7 or 7.3
Give the TU-95M a bigger payload, not exactly as big as the B-52 but, something close.
For how the B-52 has 2.3~ times the amount of base damage, there is no way a 0.3 br gap is fair.
It also can carpet bomb a whole grb map, it get what like 38x 2000 lbs bombs?
No afaik 20 and only 9 of them on the inside
I’m talking total loadout
Dead game mode… and they wanted to make it permanent hahaha…

No just checked 21 2000lb total
Still, a massive bomb load.
Charpet bombing is 51x 750lb
Carpet bombing is just dumping a metric ton of tnt on anything to make it evaporate
I desperately want to say they put effort in with this event, but it’s hard to say as much when the thing everyone has been complaining about since DAY 1, and is an easy fix, still hasn’t been fixed, and they’ve instead decided to make just about every change possible to turn this into just RB EC

Well if the removed the F-4S/ J, it may be better.
Now that the novelty wore off and I’m not wearing the rose tinted glasses, I find myself getting 1k-ish score per event then just tabbing and watching youtube until the game ends for the mission points. Frankly though I don’t even care if I unlock the bombers or not, and I certainly won’t be giving money to Gaijin to unlock them.
Why butcher such a high potential event? It’s honestly saddening and I can’t state it enough. You just turned the entire event into an unbalanced furball in the middle of the map, where smaller nukes are of absolutely no importance and ground striking is impossible, a shame given the new ordnance added.
The event should’ve been limited to provided vehicles only since day one - with a wider variety. AI SPAA(OSA/Flakrad) should have been majorly nerfed, or heavily reduced in numbers. Ordnance shouldn’t be so easily shot out of the sky. BMPs and Bradley’s should not have Jason Bourne in the gunner seat. Nuke prices should not have gone up.
This is a game at the end of the day, and fun takes priority. Taking Roland’s and OSA’s up the ass no matter the situation every time you try and fulfil the purpose of the game by dropping a 5kt nuke on ground targets, or being sweatily hunted by fighter players because the only realistic way to get SP is to play the event as if it’s ARB enduring confrontation is ridiculous and so insanely unfun.
Don’t make this a permanent gamemode. Not as it is now.

The biggest killer is the people whom crash to avoid giving someone the kill.
They need to make it so if someone is closer than 2.5 miles and you crash, you get rewarded the kill.

I will not do star 6 for free mods.
I likely wont even use the B52 cause Air RB sucks.
Why am I even doing this event?
Ohhhh because it was fun the first day or 2.

I take back everything i said about this game mode, the constant updates have ruined this game mode for me its no longer fun. The Osas are tracking me through the ground. events called nuclear thunder but its now harder to get nukes in the nuke game mode thanks to the spawn point nerf against aircraft kills. Not to mention they also nerfed the nukes kill radius so even when you nuke airfields it wont even destroy all the spaa so you’re most likely going to die one of the two surviving spaa. “oh but they buffed the rewards on ground targets just destroy those” yeah id love to man but its almost like i get lit up by osa as soon as I get near them, not even going below ralt 10m saved my nuclear f4… On day 1 of the event my average match was around 45 minutes and I received 5k mission score. 45 minutes in tonight and our top scorer only had 2.5k. this game mode went from one of the most fun things I’ve played to my least favorite, id rather play top tier air and be the first to cross middle getting hit by 12 fox3s than play this game mode any longer than I have to.

They are currently managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with this one. The changes feel like shit. the AA’s are still busted AF and the new airfield changes make you spend more time over them. and the nerf to rewards will feel like shit no matter what. it’s egregious that they did that mid event making everyone who plays think it’s a cash grab for the last 2 stars.
