did they even implement that?
im so confused about this
This event is supposed to be about neutralizing enemy air defenses with SEAD, accumulating SP, and then blowing up bases with nuclear weapons.
Something’s wrong. What we’re doing is shooting down enemy aircraft, flying low while hiding from SAMs, and then it’s a gamble whether we get close enough for a nuclear weapon.
If SEAD is going to be one of the core elements, I suggest adjusting it so as not to detract from the SEAD experience. This is an April Fool’s Day event, not a base game mode. It would be more fun to nerf AD’s targeting or increase the score it earns (or increase SEAD’s SP gain so that it ultimately earns more than Air Dominance) to better align with the event’s theme.

never ever unless they add in minor nations
Which they should do. Even just 1 aircraft roughly for each

This mode needs to be made permanent!
Posting link to a “meta” reply I made on main thread, I have been adding quotes from other’s who agree that this mode is VASTLY superior to ARB 🙂
Please and thank you Devs!

I have it and even I have to agree that it was unbalanced. Its better that its removed (though I would have prefered to see RU get something to counter balance it).
Bravo, you somehow managed to make the servers even worse. The queue time now lasts longer than the actual event itself. Great update.
its not because of the servers, more like the players going only for us team
its obviously a typo lol
Still, BR split was a mistake, waiting this long just to get into a match is honestly depressing. War Thunder is at it’s finest.
More so BR compression, and missile related specs is the problem of why it was “split”… it is the norm post mach 1 capable jets.
You could, ofc, queue for russia and get in a match almost instantly. But that would be a too complicated move for the 300 ppl sitting in queue for the us.

to be fair if you wanna grind the B-52 you have to play the US, tho they could also queue for 11.7 US instead since thats where the ru players went to avoid the F-15
Thats true. But since they are thankfully rather generous with the rewards you only need an average of 2 decent matches to get the points for us. after that you can as well play russia and get points for the tu as well.

Still, makes it unplayable. Waiting for a match for a dam straight 30 minutes is just diabolical.
if only, i mean only if there was a ARBEC that players could get there fill on large maps with tons of objectives, in mid-ish tier jet age, cheap spawns, with respawns in a single match and there was more models/aircraft models where the compression wouldn’t be so bad…

Same. 4 matches exactly (2 each, which is very reasonable, thx so much btw snail). so either those 400 to 500 ppl queueing for us for the last 2 days must be playing with 200 mission points per match or they have the first one already and try to grind the tech tree with a premium plane in this mode. (not a bad option, but also doesnt explain why apparently no one does the same for russia)

Honestly, a lot of the complaints come down to skill issues. Some players don’t even use chaff or flares and just fly straight, then blame the BR changes instead of their own gameplay.
That said, matchups like the F-15 versus the MiG-23 are definitely rough. Still, the BR split itself isn’t the core problem, player skill plays a much bigger role. And let’s be real, the US tree has been underwhelming for a long time, so having something that actually feels competitive for once is at least a bit refreshing.
