I hope not… nothing fun in spamming munitions and flying only the best jets to get something lol
wow you’re making it sound like regular RB with respawns

Please God! (Gaijin) this mode is by far the most fun I’ve ever had in this game!
There’s enough variety for people to play what objectives they like.
The map is big and varied enough that people can go and play where and how they want.
Not being forced into direct PvP means ground pounding aircraft actually have a place other than griefing ground forces players.
More strategic bombers and modes to use them in would be epic! Avro Vulcan pleeeeeeease!
Dropping nukes randomly around the map is such a cool atmosphere to play in (hope someday the clouds actually get disturbed by the explosions/shockwaves).
Anti radiation missiles are cool.
Being able to practice evading different missile types is cool.
The lower spawn costs and quick turn around from death to next engagement means dying feels so much less aggravating!
All round this is by far the best game mode you’ve ever added, I’d happily see regular realistic air battles replaced with this! No more dogfighting in a buccaneer!

yes please
TBH. I think the only changes this mode needs is:
1.) Make a version of the mode without nukes but keep the nuke mode
2.) Add more BR brackets
3.) Reduce aggressiveness of long range AA at longer ranges, and reduce accuracy of the lower range ones when engaging players closer to their max range
4.) Add stuff like AI aircraft
5.) Add other nations
6.) Let heli’s be usable in it

yes its a strong foundation for a game called nuclear option
that they pretty much copied the gameplay from for the event

For the version of the mode with nukes, also add nukes to more aircraft, including special ones such as Air-2 Genie and Aim-26A, preferably with a very high spawn cost to balance them out
That’s why we need ECM on modern planes

ARB sets the “fun” bar really low though.

I would love to see this expanded into the general GRB game mode so long as the SAM side of things got a little toned down, not much, just a little (the mass OSA stuff is just rough, no issues fighting the NATO side just the OSA lol).
Though I would add one thing, its the perfect scenario where gaijin could have added hides for Yak 38s and Harriers to take off and rearm from, a missed opportunity sadly. Imagine, taking out the forward airfields and thinking its safe and then just getting clipped/harassments from Harriers and SHARs.

Now that they’ve shown to the community what they could have, they can’t simply rip it away fron us anymore and expect nothing to occur.

I do not think this gamemode will work at 10.3 and below. spaas have such good aim that would be impossible to try get near them.
Of course.
and with a lot of tweaks it would be possible to see it in lower tiers.
WT player vs 3 molecules of dopamine
Thats why the lower brackets use different AA systems, like Sim, so theres less oppressive AA systems at the lower brackets
Wouldn’t necessarily mean it would be any easy, in fact that would probably mean it would be harder
Yes, you would be dealing with SPAAGs, but you would be dealing with them using guns, bombs and rockets, with little to no stand off ability. And Gaijin likes setting AI controlled SPAAG to a setting of 10’000/10
Even a whirbelwind can take you out at a considerable range. Its not about the spaa, but the bot aim

Not until they make the AI utilise its sensors to detect players, the barebones implementations for ground AI is too lazy. AI SHORAD SAMs have ESP and aimbot at all times and don’t rely on their radars to intercept munitions or detect players. Otherwise, the event could stay.
Imagine flak guns on the ground, forcing fighter airplanes to escort bombers so the bombers can bomb the flak guns while the fighters battle around them the other fighter airplanes.
Maybe, maybe gaijin will finally make the gamemode good
Even if they did 0 damage, Id love the visual effect of flying through a cloud of flak fire when approaching a target to drop bombs in a heavy bomber
