What a shit event: Cheating AI which locks you through terrain/hills. Invisible Shilkas which kill you before they even rendered. And when you finally find a MIG21 to dogfight you get killed by SAM which ignores your Chaff… And of course lobbies full of chinese and russian ESP hackers.

I honestly just gave up on trying to do SEAD, dropped all the stupid ordinance and focused on air-to-air combat only. Hunting MiGs without markers is way more fun 😁

My opinion on the event as an attacker:
1-Attack is too hard and defend is too easy
2-You cant really focus on ground targets until there are planes flying in the sky
My opinion on the event as a defender:
1-Defending is easier because you only have to focus on air to air
2- you can see where your sams are shooting to help locate the enemier
Probably lobbies are too big for the mode, a reduced number of players would be better. Also, because attacking is harder than defending, something should be done to make it more fair. At first I imagined that defending team was actually playing as AAA, instead they are playing as planes. I think that was a mistake. it would have been better if planes were AI bots, and SAM and AAA guns were the actual defending players.
However, I LOVE the idea at the base of this gamemode and I’m sure it can be explored and improved to make it into a viable and fun game.

I just came to the same conclusion, playing without markers around terrain to outsmart enemies is some awesome fun I haven’t had in a long time, making great use of the F4’s great missile kit.

I think this is super cool that they are testing this, having helicopters in air battles being in a dedicated attack role to destroy ground vehicles was and still is a suggestion that a lot of people want in both air RB and air SB. I really want this to be an official game mode in both game modes to add gameplay to the game as well as another way to grind out the helicopter tech tree, as PvE is too slow to grind and doesn’t give enough RP to justify playing it, especially when premium players use it.
I also want to add that i believe it should NOT be PvE only (playing against bot aircraft on top of the bot ground units) and stay the way it is in terms of what the players can play and it should also stay asymmetrical style too for two reasons, one: it is fun on both sides and it is fair, I’ve seen several times where the defending side wins just as much as the attackers, two: if it were symmetrical, we would deal with the ka-50/52s with their a2a capability with their vikhers missiles just like the PvP helicopter game mode that was taken down awhile ago.
Overall yall made a really fun an unique game mode and i really want to see more of it.

Or smokeless?
It’s a zuni that creates smoke. On the middle pylon of the f4
I think its used to mark the sams for other players in this event but it’s kinda eh
I still don’t get it. sry for not understanding.
Like smoke shells
Oh OK i understand now
Do you think it will be added to the other phantoms? Or to the base game?
Probably base game, and all phantoms that had it
Is the event good for grinding rp? I got 6k from one match in the attackers side but it only gave me 369 rp for the rank ll USSR plane after the Mig 3 is it that they are not premiums?
It’s alright, got 10k rp for my su27sm in 1 of the mig matches, Though i wonder if RP mod’s stack in events?
