Gaijin please do something about the AA please!!!

Quite certain it’s a bug, sometimes it just doesn’t work
change your option for sight from gunner view, if its off you cant control the vulcan for some reason
Are you dying whenever you respawn?
Use CCRP bomb toss and smarter approaches and you’ll literally never die with the 5kT nuke unless you go for the airfield defences or get unlucky with a convoy you didn’t spot in time… and even then - I managed to barrel roll/kinetic defeat a roland with the MIG-23MLD earlier after it jumpscared me with a 6km launch ( was going for a 10km toss against a nearby HAWK)

Majority of players appear to tackle this game-mode with the mindset of “deaths cost me nothing!”

People seem hyper-resistant to watching 2 short youtube tutorials on “How to use CCRP?”
“How to do bomb toss”.
I’ve had a guy in a match spend ages getting 500 score complaining and suiciding into stuff.

which is making them hate the pve so much, if they’d just try to not die it would be so much better for them lol
to be fair, they don’t
So, I’ve been playing this event for sure like 5 days. Here’s my personal conclusion.
The idea is fun, gameplay it’s funny too.
To be honest, I was expecting like Tu-22M3 / Tu-160 against B-1B :D But those big mommas are fine too.
The saddest part of it, to me personally is the queue.
Look at this:
This is frustrating. Okay, you’ve banned Su-27 and so you just forced people to move to the USA and fly Hornets, Falcons, Eagles and Tomcats. So, Rank 8 for USA is enormous. Recent days it became big for Rank 7. Whilst USSR is fine.
Look, if you are just afraid of unbalance, you could just limit missiles for the Su-27. For instance, F-15A, the rival, has 4xAIM-7 and 4x-AIM9 then you can limit the same Su-27, 4x R-27 and 4x R-73. Like, why the heck not. At least people will have choice on playing F-15 or Su-27.
By banning Su-27 you, really, force people to use Eagles. At least for the last days, unleash Su-27. I want to see that queue, flowing much better so I can enjoy USA Rank 8 jets too.
Even on my F-4S (rank7) I’ve been in the queue like 5 mins, in game I saw a player that was waiting like 60 mins in queue.
Guys, are you insane?
Please, make-up your mind. Ask US, community, if you are in doubt, do a poll. Don’t do, all of those decision (cuz maybe game designer decided in that or another way), which about sooner or later gonna be regret and shitted on reddit for instance.
Regards.
Oh that would be fun too, like fiction nuclear escalation between Germany and Japan :-D
Why not… tho ^^
They technically cost you SP if you have a nuke, which is what we were discussing

the problem is the queue is unfixable until maybe tomorrow or the day after.
the reason the usa queue is taking so long is because everyone needs the usa star for the bomber.
which means more people waiting in queue, which means longer queue, which means more people who still need their star.
I think day one the imbalance in favor of the usa team and the popularity of the us tech tree set up the queue times, and now the the queue times are what is causing the queue times.
gaijin actually made it worse for me, I hadn’t had a single queue longer than 1 minute until after they introduced the priority queue.
Give the Mig-23MLD the R73, please
F4E can carry Aim-9L
Hu?
If the Mig-23MLD gets R-73 then the F-4E should get Aim-9Ms

You have to change a setting. It won’t let you control the turret from 3rd person view:
Once I got the 5kT bomb, I didn’t die a single time.
If I got my 5kT bomb faster, I’d have dropped the megaton bomb. Alas, I messed up my first DEAD-run (read: got intercepted by pesky phantom in my su-24).
During the second half of the match I started climbing to 6km altitude from the rear airfield to drop my bombs because there were too many phantoms in the way, so that prolly slowed me down too.
Samuel guy was flying F4J and making life hell for our su-24s.

Getting real tired of the BUKs shooting me down when i’m below their level with entire mountains between us
Haven’t had the same issue from the HAWKs when i play USSR, why is this such a one sided issue?
Whats the point of getting 600sp and equipping the nukes just to get sniped by something that can’t even see you

It is more than possible to engage the SAMs at depots with conventional weapons (non nuclear) but the strategy is risky and inconsistent.
Same basic idea as convoy SAMs: get launched on, counterfire and then run; but you have to counterfire on all of the SAM launchers at the depot before running.
With how ARMs get distracted by everything, it’s likely you will be forced to run early and only have counterfire against one or two SAM systems. Ruins the reliability of getting a kill with just one weapon per SAM. If you can’t get the missiles to cooperate, you just have to launch more at the same SAM to get one hit through.
Much easier and safer to just throw small nukes at them from 8+km.
