Ohk, Now that you mentioned it, I do remember seeing something in another website where player discus the poor decision made by gaijin (and other things as well )
Lol. nothing strange, nothing illegal. Power to the community, comrades! LOL
Just take a look on youtube in the comment section, you’ll be surprised.

Convoy can bug into the ground and immune to bomb damage.
And that is why in my latter post i said to use AGM-65 when they are stationary and not moving. They only go inside the ground when they are moving
they can hit moving targets you “just” have to be close enough to get a vehicle lock
like 2-3km third person
You still keep 2 tho. But yea, thanks to gaijin big brain moves you have to resort to this just to gain optimal amount of spawnpoints and event progress
I don’t think there’s any reason for an bmp or bradley to be able to fire at me while i can’t see it even to aim a missile at it ,meanwhile, it fires at me with laser accuracy through 6 trees.

After playing the event since it was released, I’ve noticed something about the F-4E Phantom II - it basically feels like it doesn’t have a radar. Its radar is just pure pulse (no real pulse doppler), and it has no IRST or MTI like the MiG-23 MLD, which is its competitor in the event.
The MiG-23 MLD has both IRST and an MTI like mode, making it much easier to lock onto enemies at low altitude and fire radar guided missiles, while the F-4E struggles a lot with that. The Phantom also suffers heavily from ground clutter, especially at low altitude, often making it hard or impossible to get a lock. Meanwhile, the MiG-23 MLD can much more easily lock you at low altitude and send radar guided missiles your way.
The Phantom in this event just isn’t suited for fighting jets at low altitude, which kind of removes the purpose of its radar missiles, the Sparrows even though they’re very good.
That basically leaves the Phantom relying on AIM-9Ls, which can be flared pretty easily, or just the cannon.
In the end, the Phantom is great for high-altitude combat where its radar actually works properly, but in low-altitude fights - which is what this event mostly turns into - it’s at a clear disadvantage compared to the MiG-23 MLD.
I know the event is ending, but I’m still curious if more people in the War Thunder community feel the same way about the F-4E Phantom II.
Use the F4E as an attacker don’t use it as an fighter.
That’s a good option as well, but Gaijin failed to put balanced Western jets against the Russian ones (which is why I opened a discussion), which is very noticeable. The US in this event literally has no attackers, and the rest of the free jets for the US are just strike aircraft.
It would have been much better if they give them the F-111 aswell USA need some long range bomber. If the F4E has a similiar radar to the Mig-23MLD it would have been much fair and I think gaijin could have done that ignoring some of the realism. Like they already ignored the realism of OSA and rolands stuff like that so…
Sadly, they do not care. I feel like they are intentionally messing this event up to make us buy stages for golden eagles, which is a profit for the company.

Imperial is right. Normally we can just play the mode we like. This has been torture

i honestly find it fking incredible that we got these bombers… and that they still explode into a million pieces the second a singular 30mm shell comes close to it. didnt they say theyd fix bomber dm’s? like ages ago?
Watching the tail get sawed off instantly by .50cal is so cool. Saw someone get 1 shot by 105mm APDS as well. Bomber DMs were already goofy but it’s insane watching piddly guns 1 shot the largest jet in the game.
I also watched a Tu-95 drop the FAB 9000 right after takeoff. It exploded really close and while it killed them, there were multiple parts of the plane not even yellowed by the blast and the pilot was still alive. The 1-2 punch of terrible DM and nerfed large bombs really sucks for these bombers. Admittedly though I think we all expected them to be garbage in regular matches.
i use the a10c with gbu 39s, and lock them from over 20km away at 10k ft and get a lot of skills, however the problem i run into is them sniping said gbu while their radar is actively DOWN. doesn’t make sense to me…
Over an hours worth of que time for 3 fkn battles and this was supposed to be a fix? I didn’t have issues before the changes. Everything they did is rekt, so dumb

Just put it back the way it was.
gaijin actually being close to greatness with the new gamemode but then neglecting the rest causing it all to just fall apart is… truly gaijin at its finest

Yes the AI needs to be tuned properly but they aren’t invincible I’m not blind to the fact that the SACLOS systems are over performing
