What about add a new mode likes Nuclear Thunder in Ground battle？War Thunder has been around for 14 years — we need new game modes. And after 14 years, the tech trees have become way too bloated. It’s time to increase the Research Point rewards for ground battles.
I agree and for lower tiers some adjustments are needed but i would vote personally this mode replace the current PvP focused mode entirely.
Using bombers as a strategic means to end the game has been super refreshing!
Ok but if you had to play this or the Air RB we have now which would you choose

Great that means we have to wait ages for it anyway.
'm not an English user, the following was translated by AI.
For adding other nations, they could just use the same system as Ground RB — universal nuke carrier aircraft, and a common drone for NATO.
Helicopters would also let more people fill more gaps on the battlefield (players who haven’t ground out the air tree but have the heli tree). Attack helis are way more efficient at killing convoys than fixed-wing, but they’re often fragile against fixed-wing and certain SPAA. This makes helis not just a ground-attack tool in Ground RB — they’re way more fun than fixed-wing.
I really like this mode. Everyone has their own job to do. And pushing it up to top tier without caring about realism (Cold War era: NATO F-15C vs Soviet Su-30SM2 + Chinese J-15T) honestly isn’t that hard.
From a business perspective, Gaijin could also sell more premium vehicles that fit this environment, and make some old premium packs sell like hotcakes again.
As impossible as it is:
If we go even crazier, they could add 10-man squads like in World War mode, bump the player cap to 256, let players spawn on the ground to play as convoys attacking the enemy, while providing better AA for the convoys — opening up another dimension. But Gaijin ain’t gonna take that big of a step. They don’t have that kind of ambition.
That would just make war thunder like arma but with a different system
I guess they’re planning to do that one way or another, similar to what they did with the previous April 1st, when they dropped trailer of infantry and then added WW1 event with NPC infantry, and now releasing a full infantry mode. I just hope they take player feedback into account to improve this mode, rather than degrade it.
I would adore having this mode as a permanent addition with a few tweaks and for all nations. I’m afraid they won’t though as the greater feeling of RP progress would be too much for them and they want people to pay for premiums.
Some tree’s also lack stuff like strike aircraft in a few brackets, which Heli’s can easily fill
Helis wouldn’t be that fun because of how large the map is and jets but this would blow the water out of that crappy PVE mode they have for them. Heavy reliance on AGMs as the roaming AA systems would tear the helis apart.
Massively imbalanced an F-4 vs a MiG 23MLD…
And OSA is just a killing machine, ordinance aircraft does not matter. it should be weak vs muntions.
MiG-23BN/MLA can also carry nuclear weapons.
There are many mountains that could provide cover, and the helicopter spawn points would obviously need to be closer to the center.
The center where everyone dogfights to get spawnpoints for nukes? Worst spawn point location lol imagine flying in a heli without countermeasures in that mess.

This is not reasonable even within optimistic standards.
The game is an MMO, the scale cost of keeping servers for 256 (two hundred and fifty six) players in a game with over eighty thousand players every day is simply unsubstainable, not Battlefield or even Battle Royales have pulled such massive environments for their games.
Tone down your expectations and the criticism. And while it’s true Gaijin deserves some, the scale you’re demanding is simply not within industry’s standards.
This event could be so much more fun if they didnt break it with the stupid amount of aimbot AA.
The other problem is that both teams just fly to the centre of the map at treetop height and at that point its really just a regular air rb match with annoying AA
I really like how this mode actually gives every aircraft a purpose and makes them feel different. Bombers attack depots and airfields. Strike craft perform SEAD and attack convoys. Fighters achieve air superiority. Everyone has a role. No one is “useless” and it’s way more fulfilling than the current air RB TDM loop. Please I beg the snail to keep this mode

Thats how it should be, but not how it is. You cant do SEAD because of the overpowered AA everywhere. Most players just do pvp in the middle of the map at tree level for the entire match
