So far I’m really enjoying this event. It’s what I’ve always wanted - objectives, dynamism, energy. Such a breath of fresh air over tired old ARB. Please learn from this GJ.

I was using the phantom, we where at aroung 500m altitude, i was trying to fire a missle at a su25 from behind cuz my heat seeking missle missed, and there was just air infeont of us, i dont know what mode the radar was on, i think it was the default one

Team made up of mostly F-15s and F-14s
vs
Team made up of mostly MiG-23s and maybe one or two MiG-29s and Yak-141s
WHO WOULD WIN?

hot take maybe but the f14a/b need to stay to keep the r27er from stomping everything(iriaf can go, no idea why its here in the first place)
without the f14 the r27er would just take over the space launch rule on top of the ground cleaner that the r27er already is

I’d be playing this more if my air-con was working and more than 30 seconds of PC usage didn’t turn my room into a sauna.
Gaijin really needs to add a “banned weapons” system for these sorts of modes though.
They’d be able to have a much better balance if R-27ER and Fakour 90 weren’t allowed to play bully.
The F-4E’s radar isn’t very reliable to begin with. On top of that, older radars struggle to lock onto targets that are flying away from you.
Radars work best when there’s a big speed difference between you and the target. For example, if an enemy is flying toward you, the relative speed is high, so the radar can easily detect and track them.
But when an enemy turns away (“goes cold”), the relative speed drops a lot. If you’re flying in the same direction at a similar speed, the relative speed can be close to zero — and older radars may not be able to detect the target at all.
So in your case, the radar likely didn’t lock because:
A)The F-4E radar is inconsistent
B)The target was flying away from you, making it much harder to detect and track
but it does meet F-14A, pretty similar to IRIAF with the different it doesn’t carry Fakour-90.
erm, no.
u can rather have an uptier with 4 jets from 1.0 BR higher, or u can rather have a FULL uptier where both teams are filled with jets from 1.0 BR higher than u and u’re the only weirdo in a downtiered jet.
sure and u can do that in the new gamemode too, if u grinded it.
Ahhh okay, thanks. What would you do in that type of situation (i had all my radar missles and 2 heat seekers left and ammo ofc) i was gaining on him too
I would’ve created a thread about this topic but moderators are redirecting this discussion here only. I’ve been playing the event today all fine, except at the start with the obvious unstable servers but that’s ok by War Thunder standards but the vehicle selection is simply unbeareable, MiG-23MLD and F-4E Phantom II great vehicles, balanced and effective on their own way, this is fine but (a big but) why should I (not only me, I don’t want to sound eghoist, I mean everyone that plays in the USSR side of the event for sake of getting the Star) have to face F-14s, F-15s, F-16s and F-18s—vehicles far superior than any other available vehicle for USSR even including the tech trees to choose?
Is more than obvious that the Su-30SM2 line is the more popular because of the Su-30SM2, MiG-29SMT is a good looking vehicle but looks don’t win the battle, the amount of people playing the MiG-29 (9-13), MiG-29 (9-12) and Yak-141 and not only that but the queue player count tells everything wrong in the balance of this event (my complain is only about the team composition, the anti-air systems firing on the move affects both teams obviously and I’ve struggled a lot with the Red Baron operating that Osa-AKM that some how can lock, launch and guide a missile without the assistance of a radar).
It’s the first day of the event and I have a bad feeling that Gaijin will improve this minor but major issue, that I’m very sure for the amount of locked threads about this issue it’s not a me problem but pure neglect on Gaijin’s part to make available the only unpopular vehicles to play in this event apart of the free available selection. I don’t want to sound crazy as I’m already is but this screenshot also backs the second paragraph:
For instance, this screenshot was take a few minutes ago as I’m writing this post here.
This event is a example that historical matchmaking will never work in War Thunder without Gaijin properly adjusting the vehicles to fit their counterparts as people asked in the past for such experiment.

Open the event for other nation’s planes?

That’s the problem, not everyone grinded it, which puts you at a disadvantage compared to everyone else. It is absurd that the MiG-23 has to face much more modern and capable airframes than it.

How about we don’t remove the F-14, you get the Su-27 and Su-33
I think we should get Su-27 and problem solved.

That would make it more balanced 100%
Doesn’t fix the actual problem, but still, better than what we currently have
Flogger is still very capable for the kind of planes it faces, tbh the “only” bad plane would be F-4E, and it isn’t even that bad cuz it got AIM-9Ls to balance it.
what Gaijin could do is to give newbies 4th Gen fighters so “people who have grinded them” don’t have an “advantage”.
