Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) test event

  • The maximum number of players on the defending team has been reduced from 16 to 12.

We’ve seen your feedback and looked at the statistics of the SEAD event and have seen that it is often too difficult for the attacking team to achieve victory. Unlike World War mode (the mode that these test missions are developed for), where the starting conditions are dictated at the operational level, in this event the starting conditions are predetermined and can be adjusted.

We hope to make gameplay more balanced and interesting for both sides, giving the attacking team more opportunities to successfully complete their objective and expect that the above change will allow both teams to enjoy this event more. Thanks for playing so far and leaving your feedback!

Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.

Please keep working on events and new game modes like these,

Maybe even a guns only air game mode in the future?

hopefully permanent too, and hopefully with low player count, high tier gunfighting is some of the most fun i have in customs

Ideally it’d be a part of a permanent RB EC mode

No enemy markers is terrible and gives too much advantage to those who play in squads. So many times I see one plane and try dogfighting only to get 3rd partied from another enemy that came out of nowhere. This is especially bad when the time of day is dawn or sunset. There’s just no coordination possible for random teammates you get matched with to do the same.
