Getting killed by something that doesn’t render in. Sweet
What?
Really? Only 2 days in the middle of the week?
This will reduce the amount of players who will play.

They said they might extend it
Hey lets rub it to ground Players lol brilliant event. Are going to ever you know fix ground rb. Can we do it before we get b52s and f22s and f35s
Given most events are ground base (looking at the ww1 event) it’s nice some aren’t. Not everyone likes ground
But it would be stupid to require tank gameplay to test aircraft Vs SAM gameplay

Im not talking about the event itself. I’m simply pointing out the fact that once again the devs are teasting people who play ground with heavy sams and CAS protection. Which shouldve of been added before the f-18 su3r f15 and the like. One of the main reasons one death leavers in ground top tier happens. Broken Meta for ground rb because of gaijins own refusal to stop adding or alllowing top tier jets into grounnd battles. Against other nations that dont have spaa or even their own top tier jets. I dont care about the even likely not going to play it. But I do care that gaijin has the ability to put heavy sams in and just wont give them to ground rb
I tested it using a Custom Battle / CDK assets. The S75s/P-12 currently have zero issue detecting/tracking/eliminating the F-117. ;)
That would need some tweaking prior to primetime, but I would love to be able to go SAM hunting in the Nighthawk.

This event is entirely about tuning them for their introduction into GRB

Yeah so my point exactly. BEFORE THEY ARE ADDED TO GRB which they have damaged the meta with JET SPAM and helicopter to. But hey here is an EVENT WHERE YOU CAN SEE that gaijin can IN THEORY DO heavy sams. But you arent getting them in ground yet
We dont need SAMs like S-75s in GRB, what we need is SAM/SPAA spawn locations similar to helicopters that are not part of the GRB map that tanks use.
I do hope this event is them testing that theory with the helicopter spawns+air spawns but till they separate SAM spawns from GRB spawns it wont matter what they add if CAS can still point and click at spawn thanks to map pod marking being introduced.

This should’ve of been done before the f-14 the 15 the 18 and 16 and the su-34 and typhoon and eurofighter. But hey look we are finally testing heavy sams under AI in an event. Aren’t you happy

You know the typhoon and eurofighter is the same jet right?
Also it’s like the weakest top tier CAS at the moment.
But anyway. Eh… I’m glad we finally got stronger. Was impossible to try and use a tornado Gr1 against a Pantsir
Some NAtions Im looking at japan have part of their heavy sam but not the radar for a good while now. And even if you had sam/spaa sites around the map eventually air would learn where they are and how to avoid them. Or CAS would whine that they get a missile fired at them before they can do anything., And one last point they are testing a 70 Year old heavy sam system in game finally.
Yeah im sure it is total weak cas. Oh wait you were comparing it to other cas not the SPAA it would face.
Problem with systems like the S-75 is they are not designed to shoot down fighter sized targets.
They are easilly jammed and were only a real threat to B-52s and high/medium altitude bombing runs.
It does seem like they are pulling far too much G and tracking a little too well. Feels like the S-75 is performing like the S-75M
During the Gulf pilots discounted S-75M it was not designed to hit a fighter sized target.

1 reason its a 70 year old heavy sam system. Even if they do put these in grb in some manner its 70 years old trying to shot down 4th gen fighters
Yep, still waiting for it to get it’s IRL AGMs. What it has now are useless.
not really, this event has already shown they can simply add a spawn location for SAMs but give a general idea and force the CAS pilot to actually use mk2 eyeballs and scan the area for threats. thats also what RWR is for on some jets :D it gives you a direction and in some jets “can” give you a distance but that isnt modelled fully in WT.
I get what your wanting but S-75s simply would make GRB maps kinda redundant for SAM/SPAA players if those are being shot down. if gaijin are fully committed to adding multi vehicle SAM systems into the game like mentioned in the last Q&A then they need to get GRB maps corrected to allow them to function as SAMs and not as spawn food for CAS or other tanks because god forbid we get bigger maps to allow SAMs to spread out more (hence the need for SAMs to have there own spawns outside the GRB map area scattered around the larger map space)
