The trade off is ground attack aircraft have a chance, because as soon as you spawn in an A-10/Su-25 every fighter comes after you.
Ground units could still be spotted if we add dedicated recce aircraft something cool like an SR-71 or MiG 25R that could fly high and fast while scouting an area of the map to highlight permanently like removing the fog of war from the map screen? These could be higher SP to stop people spawning them right away
Currently as many have stated SEAD offers no reward, nuking bases makes no difference and the guys in B-52/Tu-95s are the ones with the highest air kills.
You both missed the point of the sub discussion, it was about REMOVING MARKERS in the event/mode AND ARB. These guys want to REMOVE the markers, turning it into SIM.
Read these guy’s posts, THIS is what I am argueing against, NOT the event:
Read my messages again, I am NOT talking negatively about the event,I am talking against this small minority of SIM players who want to REMOVE MARKERS from ARB, and combine it with this event mode, turning it into a SIM MODE. I have told them they already have a mode without markers, it’s called SIM Battles! But they want to change Air Realistic to suit their selfish desires.
Read the discussion again. You are going after the wrong person, it isn’t me.
The ONLY issue I have with ARB is the single spawn which I have stated repeatedly in the main thread, and here. Read my previous message if you want to see my opinion about the Event, separate from this ridiculous sub discussion about removing markers:
You again refuse to read the context of the arguments. I SPECIFICALLY said Air Arcade is better “because it has more than 1 spawn” NOT because of the flight controls. Omg, read what I wrote and stop making assumptions.
He does not play sim, its just that people want no markers so the use of the radar is much more effective in addition to systems like an electro-optical system. It makes both NATO and pact forces stronger since the AIM-9M becomes highly effective, and the IRST system makes the pact aircraft able to utilize their long range IR missiles.
You have obviously not read any other messages in the sub discussion about markers. There are multiple other users have have written mini essays here about why that is all a terrible idea. If you do not want to read the thread, I see no need to reply to your messages.
Cheers!
Do let me know if you decide to take the time to read everyone else’s messages, instead of just cherry picking a couple sentences to rage bait the thread 🍻
Event is pretty crap right now, it started great but they have made no effort to make it better.
IR missiles too easy to counter.
F-4E cannot use it’s Radar down low for head on Aim-7E shots
Bombing ground targets makes no difference
Game mode has quickly become stale, everyone meets in the centre and fights, dies and takes off again. Only about 5% of each team is trying to hit ground targets.
I wish they would make the higher tier version accessible but I can only select the lower BR one?
you can agree with a point fundamentally and like it yes, but them liking it does not mean they agree with you exactly. More respawns would be nice for ARB but then why not just make it sim? Just because people don’t voice an opinion in support of no markers does not mean they magically don’t support it.
The issue is partly the players and partly the mode itself. Because air combat is currently by far the most effective method of getting a strategic bomber spawn, everyone just plays it like an arb match in the centre of the map. The players contribute to this issue by wanting to mindlessly fly a straight line into the middle of the map.
I have read them and i select the points i take issue with, that is how an argument works when someone is deconstructing it. I don’t see a reason why you’ve decided to attack me and say that i have not read it.
Exactly and you cannot approach it any differently as the long range SAMs will engage you if you try and fly higher to ambush aircraft.
This leaves a singular way to play, rush forward get a kill or maybe 2 die and respawn.
Ignore the air battles and ground pound achieve nothing. Even spawning with tactical nukes is not worth doing.
It’s a real shame
F-4S and J need removed from this mode…Game breaking how good they are.
You very obviously, very clearly did not read my entire post.
You very clearly took that ONE sentence, out of context, and used it to make an invalid point.
You have proven that you are not interested in reading entire replies, not interested in finding the context, and simply want to cherry pick what you want, to post rage bait.
If you want to admit that you tried to gaslight me, please feel free. Otherwise you be ignored from this point on.
i have been seeing more teamwork and social on this event WHICH IS AWESOME GAIJIN, it would be cool if we had a “Squads” Section on the match where we create a SQUAD and give it a name so people can join and use voice chat, to coordinate strikes on groups or etc.
Just noticed that F-4E doesnt have enough fuel to go from the forward airfield to the main airfield and return to ally airfield.
Went all the coast to nuke the airfield with 30 min of fuel, and after dropping the bomb noticed I just have 2 min of fuel to go back to re-arm. The max amount of fuel the F-4E can carry its only 32 min.
So we need to be able to custom our loadouts to equip fuel tanks if needed, imagine if my forward spawn was destroyed… I wouldnt even be able to reach the enemy main base.
