I’ve mentioned this before and maybe I just suck that bad, but seems I die to planes more often than tanks in ground assault arcade. The balance seems way off to me as it seems too easy to get to where you can call in airstrikes and then bomb the crap out of your opponents. Every match I play in eventually devolves into Air vs Ground and at tier 2 and 3 vehicles there is no guided AA so shooting down bombers tends to be a hit or miss depending on if there are any AA on the team or not. Really makes it not worth playing as even a 500lb bomb dropped near you is tricky to evade let alone multiple or one of the 1000 or 2000 lb bombs. Another frustration is there isn’t really a penalty for kamikazing your plane into the ground so the heavy and medium bombers become dive bombers that just dump all their bombs on you at once so no chance in hell of escaping. I guess Gaijin doesn’t see a problem with this though as they let this be a thing. Just makes it really pointless trying to level up or upgrade vehicles when as soon as someone gets a plane you’re screwed. Really wish Putin hadn’t taken over World of Tanks or I would be there in a heart beat. Oh well rant over. For those of you who enjoy this game good on you for being able to tolerate the BS.
The “assault” in your title made me think it was the Player vs bot mode.
You just mean ground arcade?
Bombers in arcade are hit and miss. At least 50% of the time I call in a bomber, an enemy fighter spawns right on my tail and kills me before I have a chance to drop any bombs.
Couple of issues I see with arcade…
- you can earn a bomber too early in the battle - they need to increase the points needed
- you can get too many bombers - IMHO you should only be able to get 1 of each type and if you use them, that’s it.
