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

The convoy and depot AI SPAA and SAMs absolutely need to be forced to enable their search radar to engage small and agile targets like missiles and bombs.
Ideally they’d just have the radar on intermittently while sitting stationary in between bursts of movement but I guess that’s hard to do for the devs.

Lol no man. Bombers are a joke in Air RB. Just free food for anyone.
And don’t get me wrong. I love low tier bombers. I love winning games as last plane standing on my team. But the current state of bombers is just sad. Been for years now. And Gaijin doesn’t care. They do not add new bombers to tech trees too. Sometimes only some copypaste. B-66 was first one in ages.
Another ground target buff, made my whole grind even easier
Does usa just never win anymore? i always win when playing russia and lose when playing us…

I’m kind of in the middle.
I have only 1-2 hours to play each day, so I will finish the 5 ussr stars for the Tu-95, then get the last US star and GE four other US stars.
So much feedback and they made it worse. Everything that is not a nuke gets intercepted by OSAs etc.
Those devs just can’t make a game. Only modeling planes etc.
Impossible. Utter garbage.

Depots are trickier to tackle with ARMs, but you usually dont have to. Taking out static AA systems at strongpoints and mobile AA systems in convoys generally allows you to then strike the convoy and strongpoint targets, which will get you more than enough SP for a small nuke you can then use to take out depots.
I dont die much to AA anymore, pretty much only when making a mistake, but I dont remember what happened preceding that clip.
