The changes they made to this mode are just unacceptable. First of all, the fact that they havent nerfed the AA at all is insane. that is the biggest issue with the game mode.
Then people were having too much fun and getting too much SL, so they nerfed air rewards like crazy.
They moved the airfields to make it take longer for people to get rewards, and they increased the SP cost for small nukes to hurt the people trying to kill bases and ground targets.
The increased rewards for killing ground units, which should have been in place from the start.
Gaijin would rather watch their game become unplayable if they think it would make them a single extra dollar.
people were doing air to air cause CAS sucked, and now that CAS gives decent rewards, people still do air to air cause all CAS results in is dying to an OSA or invisible roland. the mode is objectively garbage now, and noone wants it to see the light of day again.
Actually not hard to flatten these when you learn ARMs, the only issue I have is the sheer volume of Rolands and Osas since everything, from bases to a simple truck convoy spawns with one
called it
nothing about the mode changed that drastically, only A2A score
The balancing of US vs USSR is very unfair, Russia has the clear advantage especially in the higher BR bracket, if the US can’t have the Fakour 90, Russia shouldn’t be allowed to the R-27ER.
Real. Plus, the mig23’s radar is WAY better than the f4s at treetop level. As one guy in my chat said it, they could “lock me in a tunnel”. And idk if this is just me but I think the Osas are more powerful than the US’s version. Granted, I haven’t played the USSR’s side in a bit so idk if they changed stuff.
They moved the spawns further back and made the ground targets spawn less, so it isn’t a buff lol. Use your head.
They moved back an entire grid square. If the US strike aircraft were fast, that wouldn’t be an issue, but Russia has significantly faster aircraft at their disposal, which leads to the US falling behind quickly.
Then buff the damn ground kills. I never once saw a B-52 sooner than an hour in, and I played damn near 30 games of this mode.
How exactly is making the AI give about 120 score per kill reasonable when it takes more than 6 mavericks to even kill a single OSA?
You have to be rage-baiting people if you think making the game slower and more painful is somehow “more fun”. Did you forget this mode was supposed to be a FUN event? I don’t want to grind my teeth using 11.7 CAS aircraft, trying to just get the challenge done. I’ve seen tens of people already quit the event openly in Discord calls because of these changes alone, and you’re reply is seriously “skill issue”? What is wrong with you?
Gaijin has made it clear that they do not reward PVE gameplay over a decade in their game design. There is absolutely nothing fun about getting within 10km of an OSA after flying from an airbase for 3+ minutes and being obliterated in seconds after it takes down all of your missiles and bombs.
The OSA isn’t even capable of firing on the move to begin with, so I don’t even know why Gaijin has them doing so in the Event.
I have no qualms with the game requiring SEAD, because that was important to me, but the mode was a balance. It was equally opportunistic for EVERY type of aircraft. What Gaijin has done is make it slow for every jet, especially the subsonic US ones.
Jeez, you’re really shilling for Gaijin here. They make spawns further back, nerf the nukes, and you’re happy cause you get 30 extra score per ground kill?
It makes the mode slower. Instead of fixing the issue, they’re just killing the score potential.
You have a Skull issue.
Friendly reminder that the OSA can’t fire on the move.
I also love how you openly showed yourself having less than 500 SP 30 minutes into the game, and don’t even try saying you spent it, cause that SL says you didn’t. You also showed your teammates agreeing with me, and thousands of other people. The OSA ignores multipathing completely and doesn’t act as it is supposed to.
It clearly does? I still even have the clip since I died doing an overly ambitious nuke toss and respawned another nuke Phantom on the other side of the map, which is why the Phantom in that screencap is only showing the SP cost.
But continue headbutting Osas with an F-111 and raging about Gaijin moving the AF 1Km to the center
Feel free to share it, but it doesn’t help your case, lol. At best, you have about 600 SP after 30 minutes. If the game stays at that pace, you might have 1800 by the end, but you won’t cause the game gets slower as it progresses due to spawns being destroyed.
Oh, most certainly the issue is the F-111 getting within 10km of an OSA and not
OSA firing on the move when it can’t
OSA intercepting all missiles and bombs fired at it
OSA tracking through hills and trees
OSA proximity working below limits
OSA missiles have no collision with foliage
Moving OSA hitting cockpits directly
These are just a few of the issues the OSA has, and you’re doing nothing but enabling these bugs to remain. You are a net negative on this gamemode.
You have ZERO sympathy for the US strike aircraft that are subsonic. It takes them ages to get anywhere and die immediately to an OSA.
You would rather say “skill issue” when you yourself are struggling to get 600 spawn points in 30 minutes. How the hell do you think the lesser-skilled players think? They have every right to the B-52 and Tu-95. Events should NOT take 3 to 5 hours to complete, especially not April Fools Events.
Yeah, and the problem is we have these dorks who can’t think critically and say “30 SP extra” is a buff when they moved the spawns further back and nerfed the nuke spawn cost, which makes it a direct mode nerf lol.
and even when using the nukes, if you play higher bracket, you get R73ed and R-27ERed making the small nuke unusable and to get big nuke you need WAY too many kills
1st day, “oh wow this game mode is kinda fun” 2nd day “oh ok F-14 IRAF got disabled kinda makes sense” , now “this game mode is a joke and they just removed the fun out of it”
