I’ll give Gaijin credit where its due. This is a great event. Something fun, plus some seriously cool rewards.
Thanks Gaijin.

@AlvisWisla You are correct in terms of how radar should work, but it does not show up because you are accidentally on friendly only mode on your radar, it’s a very common issue. Click the IFF filter button and it will fix itself.

damn how didn’t i catch that i feel so stupid lol
F-18A… and I’m sorry if I typed anything hostile toward you.
Having basic evidence denied and being insulted despite having a >4:1 KDR in the F-18A is NOT a fun thing to read in the slightest.
THIS is helpful, because I don’t have that keybound right now so I didn’t ever think to check that.
I’ve never used that feature… so yeah…
Thank you.

I would have never catched that IFF thing either, didn’t even know how to tell if it was on or off

the novelty wears thin after a few games to just to return to an average TDM to those who’ve unlocked (or bought) meta jets with proper radar and missiles to unlock your B-52/Tu-95 killstreak
So, can we now agree that letting the US side use the F-14s while banning the Flankers is absolutely ridiculous?
The HARM’s seem to behave rather oddly in my experience. Also the BUK seems to be able to just lock and fire at people through hills.
Otherwise though, I am loving this mode and I am sad that it’s not going to be made a permanent fixture.
That’s the benefit of showing screenshots.
Someone that studied the feature noticed and pointed it out.
Yeah, I might’ve fat fingered sometime in the last 2 days and not noticed when selecting a target close to me, but I would’ve never known where the IFF symbol was on the HUD otherwise.
I still don’t intend to use the feature, but at least I know where it is and know that I can accidentally click it when selecting aircraft on the scope.
And no, Mig-29 9.13 is equivalent to at least F-14A.
F-14B has better dogfight performance, but IDK how useful that is.
Its too unbalanced with ppl bringing their own grinded planes. Rediculous kill streaks when these meet the generic and free ones. Its unfair, as usual.

Why is no one talking about how good of an SL grind this is? Around 15 minutes in and already up 185k SL

That’s because it’s an EC mode and not glorified TDM like regular ARB

Well, at least you can enjoy your US planes again now while the MiG-23s get farmed by F-14s

Its amazing for SL.
Honestly it feels like F-15A is more of an issue than the F-14 (IRIAF). AIM-9M’s are simply very oppressive when everyone is multipathing, and you essentially get free kills with sparrows on people not multipathing.
I would not be opposed to seeing the Su-27 added as a proper F-15A competitor.

To reiterate what I actually said was that in pulse Doppler modes ie tws (regardless of HDN) that have a ground clutter filter the an/awg9 requires a change in distance if this change in distance is low or the target is moving away from the f-14 at the same speed that the f-14 is moving towards it tws will lose lock or have trouble even detecting it screenshots are useful but sometimes they don’t tell the whole story
F-4Es getting farmed by Mig-29s as well. ;)
It’s a double sided thing.
And honestly, without PD radars, there’s no chance of defending against Tu-95 and B-52 outside a gun run.

All the non-preset planes are an issue, some are less of an issue than others, but at the end of the day the game mode should be limited to only preset vehicles
