found another PVE match but it was much worse, they take turns bombing each other on the runway too, I with no offense to the GMs think yall are understaffed for this stuff rn

I have never seen.
It was about temporary ceasefire agreements to destroy bases and AI units. without making each other’s lives difficult.
calling people who don’t shoot at each other but help each other in the grinding process criminals is a joke. criminal was Gaijin when the Sim 2021 has dismantled
a small update on the game I was in, they destroyed the airfield they were on so much they have migrated to another on the one I flew out of cause the top one is just too far, and now I have been caught in the crossfire of this anti gaming behaviour, legit why do GMs not pay more attention to these lobbies, I would be more specific but I would be flag for hate speech because people get salty over facts
That goes beyond a PvE ceasefire and into the world farming lobby, which I think is 1000x worse, regardless of the language used
It’s exactly the same… It’s collusion and it’s making anyone elses effort in playing the game worthless because they get to passively grind out things…
(Flaggers absolutely need banning and shunning to stop the abuse of this goddamn feature…)
Sim rewards were dismantled because people were abusing the system.
The only thing you are doing right now is defending abusing the rewards system which will just further result in it being reduced.

Not only are PvE rooms against the ToS, but they also harm actual SB players. These people are just RB mains looking to make a quick grind in SB. It’s gotten to the point where they even have the audacity to tell SB regulars they if they want PvP they should leave and go play RB.
There is only one solution to this problem ofc, join WoVi and help us hunt them in packs. Find every farmer lobby currently running and destroy them. When they ask for PvE lobby, happily oblige in chat, then put a missile up their derriere.
During this time report them as well. Especially the spinners at the end of the runway, nothing would make me happier knowing these people are permabanned from the game which we loved but they destroyed.
We even have an event in our squadron where the person who kills the most zomber during the Summer Event will win 5,000GE.
Recruitment is open, happy hunting… 😁

Eh…
Here’s the history of sim rewards from someone that experienced everything first hand.
2019 happens, events allow unfettered sim access, rewards were calculated based purely on actions done with no penalties for certain styles of gameplay.
This led to situations like this:
This was in a PVP session BTW, no one organized PVE here. No boosters.
However, it wasn’t a bug. There just was no rewards punishment for dying. [All my deaths were to airfield AA.]
After this occurred for a few months, that’s when the landing requirement was added.
50% of your rewards were LOCKED until you landed. A correct response to this activity.
After a number of years, this was reduced to 20% being locked, which incentivizes more PVP.
As it turns out when 50% of your rewards are locked until you land, PVP is unwise.

Got a 500% booster a few months ago, took out the Lightning F53, spent most of the game dumping rockets into bases. got a few A2A kills, but was basically an empty lobby. Walked away with an easy 800k.

Thanks for reminding me to add the fact I didn’t use boosters.
Though prehaps its high-time they re-evaluate PvP rewards. 1/3 reasons why I rarely bother with the F3, is because its almost impossible to break even in that thing. Gr1. Easy 200k per game. You need to average something like 3 Kills per 10-15 minutes to break even. and that’s without dying. Almost impossible to get that number of kills and not be killed in turn in the F3 currently. That’s kinda crazy in my opinion. Its fine if you can dump bombs on bases as well, but not all jets can. So prehaps they need to increase the activity time reward for PvP and more people would engage in PvP instead of PvE activities that ultimately lead to PvE lobbies

Are rockets better to use than bombs? Or am I being dumb and the Lightning doesn’t get bombs
Lightning F53 can carry 2x 1000s, but completely lacks any form of CCIP or CCRP. So hitting something like a base is not always easy. So its better to just take the full loadout of rockets instead. you still get activity time, but its just a little easier to hit the targets
Ah alright then, I’ve never used rockets on my phantom and wondered if I should, it gets SNEBs though which don’t do much to bases
To be honest, Im not sure what the difference is in value. Though I think destroying a base actually rewards more though.
I heard from someone that destroying a base with rockets is better reward wise than bombs (ARB at least), so I tried it, and my SNEBs (nearly 200 of them) did about 1/3 of a base. That’s why I’ve never used rockets before, so I don’t know what is better either.
I think, and I could be wrong, each individual hit rewards activity. On a rate greater than what you get from bombs. So in the 3 or so sorties needed to destroy a base, you would actually generate a lot more SLs than just bombing that 1 base in 1 sortie. It generates more for less.
This is why botters spam rockets into the AF instead of dropping bombs.
to be honest I dont get how half the economy works in SB. In fact, i dont always think Gaijin actually knows half the time. Id advise using which ever you find most fun/easy to use and stick with that :P
Alright thanks!
Additional fact about rockets, your speed does matter when launching them since if they hit with more speed they do a non insignificant amount of damage extra

Your gripe with Gaijin is clouding your want to validate this ignorantly… After all, if everything that you’ve been doing is made literally worthless, is that cool because you merely don’t like Gaijin, or because you couldn’t actually handle the game?
Either way, you’re wrong, and I hope that this gets cleaned up shortly, in the same way the community flagging should also be fixed…
