I really like the concept. It’s fast-paced, fitting, feels genuinely like a nuclear escalation scenario even if it’s only an April Fool’s event. It’s as close as we’ve got to RB EC to my knowledge. Good selection of ground targets, static and mobile and guarded by a variety of SPAA, takes effort to avoid dying to them which is a breath of fresh air.
Unfortunately the event is completely unbalanced and pretty much unplayable for people that don’t have top-tier aircraft for the two nations. The base aircraft suck and are SP/SL pinatas for those that have their own(F-15, F-18 lmao). On another note, sweaty players aren’t even bothering with ground targets - just using it as pitbull dogfight simulator. There’s no ground target defense, just people strafe camping airfield spawns and shooting you down with a missile before you have enough airspeed to pull a maneuver.
I have no idea how long this will stay around as I usually don’t bother with the april fool’s events, but if it’s here to stay for a while I really hope they restrict the event to provided aircraft only. As it stands it’s unplayable for those without USA/USSR top tier.
