Is it just me, or did they changed the behaviour of the SAM? I feel like the radar doesn’t lock on me as aggressively as in the first test.
Would have been nice to do strikes with Russian planes, bit sad.
That aside, do the SAMs even require radar to track? Been screwing around trying to chaff them to see if you could make the launch sites obvious by flying at alt to get launches, but chaff just does not seem to work at all.
Also the shilkas are bloody rough. They’d not be so bad if they were IDed by RWR, but that’s really hit or miss. Would also help not to be sniped at 10km. Definitely need toning down, or to be made far more identifiable. I’ve managed to escape them once, at which point apparently I was out of bounds and put back directly on top of one.
It would be. Except if it goes over 2 meters from the treetops it gets launched at by 3 S75s and has to defend against all that plus Mig21s that have free range.
I have zero idea why people love this event. it sucks.
There should at least be a tactical map mechanic — when someone spots where the anti-air (AAs) are, they should stay marked on the map (like when bombing targets appear). This game mode is boring for me because I feel like I’m just there to take missiles to the face and make it easier for the team to find targets. Only those who get the kills are rewarded.
ADD THIS TO A NEW GAME MODE ASAP!
This sead event is amazing and having this in a permanent mode (maybe RB EC and sim EC) would be truly awesome.
Well done. This is what weve been begging for.
Also make it count for BP tasks (when possible) / achievements - events.
Because markerless RB. Personally , even if the event design as event/ objectives is bad , i’d prefer to play this instead of normal RB just because markerless. It’s like getting half the RNG out (awareness/keen vision) .
that’s true but like, it still sucks, the USSR team is heavily overpowered.
