AN HOUR LONG WAIT for a match in my F4, 550 people in queue for US, and I had to give up… With the criminally reduced points for air kills, HOW are we supposed to have a fair chance at the event rewards with this!!!

Is it an actual bug? thought maybe it was my monitor ghosting but it doesn’t happen to any other game that I’m aware of.
Fun fact saw people complaining about this, the irony when you realise the short engagement times were a part of the mode’s biggest con. I hope Gaijin doesn’t lean towards dopamine depraved playstyle catering.
Thats been going on since the beginning, but at least before they wouldn’t usually hit you if you multipathed, yesterday, i was at 47 meters multipathing above the waves and a BUK still hit me. Was multipath altitude reduced? or the BUK warhead increased even more?
You know, Gaijin could at least change so you get SOME score if you get killed by SPAA.
At least make it going for ground pounding without nukes not a total waste of time

The mode is completely unplayable now.
It takes far too long for US aircraft to even reach the battlefield, which is especially frustrating given the overperforming OSA platform scattered everywhere, and CAS/SEAD still rewards almost nothing for how difficult and risky it is to pull off. You’ve turned the only viable way for the US to grind into something painfully slow and frustrating. Virtually every American plane outside the F-4E is near or fully subsonic. The A-6, A-7, and A-10 are too slow and get completely outclassed by the Su-24. Even if they do reach the battlefield, they die instantly to a damn OSA.
The F-4E was already objectively worse than the MiG-23MLD, and instead of addressing that, you’ve made the entire US strike lineup unable to do its job properly. We all absolutely love flying for 3 minutes just to die to an OSA that intercepts us and all of our munitions. We all absolutely love that you thought of nerfing rewards instead of fixing the OSA’s behavior.
Keep in mind, I’m using 11.7 and 12.0 aircraft, and this is genuinely unbearable for me. I can’t imagine what it might feel like with an F-4E, A-7, A-6, and A-10A.
Good job.
For equally frustrated players, I have added a second poll to my post about Nuclear Thunder. Please Vote.

Nothing was rebalanced, everything was just made harder. Can anyone at Gaijin just actually think for once and make a at least half decent update?

ok fellas I played it now and to be honest it really didn’t change that much. I think you guys are actually just overreacting. I mean I’m a bit in the advantage here since I’m used to play Cas/Sead in air modes ( no I don’t play cas in ground battles bc I don’t have ground researched enough in the US/USSR tts) so it really just shows how “fighter brained” most of the people are. while yes them shooting down your missiles should STILL be nerved but over all this mode actually turned out great. I mean the amount of people playing SEAD now is miraculous, which means that now you can actually effectively fight since the AA is actually suppressed. As a SEAD main I give this mode a 8/10 for now, but who knows how they might improve it in the future. and for those who just want to “cheese” it by playing an Air-to-Air role: just play ARB since you will get more rewards for playing team-death-match there

It is the first time I ever post on the forum
I have never felt that much frustration playing a video game, Im 100% serious I prefer facing cheaters in CS2 than playing this crap of a mode
I dont understand I just dont, the mode was fun and enjoyable it really was, now its the worst experience ever
Its been a long time since I hammer fist my desk out of rage but there we are
At the start I was thinking “its fine they are testing stuff” but its been 3 days and nothing was reverted or improved so I conclude the state of it is good enough for you
Do you guys even play your own game ?
I genuily dont understand why you guys do this, you dont want people to enjoy your game ? you succeded now I dont want to play it anymore, not just the mode but the whole game
Please gaijin keep this mode up for like 2 days after the rewards are closed so you realize that no one will be playing it in the current state
LMAO
Its not because u want to play PvE like a braindead zombi that every one want it u know ?
Can you envisage the fact that both player could enjoy the game ? ??? (pvp AND pve)
If you enjoy it good for you, if the mode come as permanent and there is no shiny new vehicules to unlock by playing it You guys will be 3 people Queing for it GL tho
id say that right now you CAN enjoy it as both. but right now this is the ONLY mode that doesn’t exclusively caters to YOUR preferred playstyle which obviously triggers you. its like this one experiment where they gave one gorilla 2 bananas each day an another one only 1 and when they gave both 2 bananas the gorilla that always got 2 bananas complained now. if you didn’t get it: you didn’t lose anything, you can still play arb and sim and what not, but for once I get something I enjoy and now EVERYONE on here complains like its the end of the world. if you wanna play air-to-air then just play Arb like you did all those years before 10 days ago. they didn’t change that so you can still fur ball and missile joust as your heart desires.
Im glad that at least one person is enjoying this crap of a mode :))))))

This is why you feel that the update makes little difference; for SEADs with relatively low presence, this update is considered positive. Because SEAD cannot kill a large number of ground targets at once and the intervals for air defenses have been extended. The negative updates did not impact SEAD. And only SEAD can effectively deal with air defense problems, which is why you feel that air defense isn’t much of an issue. However, when you acquire a nuclear bomb and head to the battlefield, it is quite easy to be shot down by the air defense system, which is significant negative feedback, and Gaijin has amplified this feedback. The highlight of this event is not only SEAD but also nuclear bombs. Could it be that this April Fool’s entertainment mode open to everyone is only for SEAD players?
But 80% of players just want the B52 and TU95; players just want to quickly obtain rewards while enjoying the mode, after all, this is just a lightweight mode for April Fool’s entertainment. Every player is here to have fun, not to spend several hours on another task.
To quickly get all rewards within 2 hours, you need air combat and nuclear bombs, so when negative updates hit, it is normal for the vast majority of players to have a negative attitude; this is not an overreaction. The appeal of this mode in the beginning was that every type of player had their own way to enjoy the event, like dogfight players, nuclear bomb players, and SEAD players. Gaijin destroyed this balance, leading to a massive loss of players and most of the complaints in matches. It’s like the joke about not having bread in a famine: why not eat cake? :)
Actually, this problem is easy to solve and should have been solved this way: SEAD should be strengthened, not everyone’s strength reduced to match SEAD’s. After all, this mode specifically enhanced air defenses to test SEAD, yet it caused a flood of complaints and imbalance. April Fool’s events are meant for every player to have their own toys, just like the traditional April Fool’s events in the past.

Just say you don’t know how to do SEAD and go learn man there’s plenty of videos on YouTube right now on how to do it. I’m starting to worry about your brain maybe you had a stroke recently. The SACLOS systems need to be tuned down some but they aren’t an invincible force
brother, I have no interest of playing a PvE mode do you understand that ?
I play Dota 2 and cs2, i’m not a mental bot like you brother I want to play against humans, if not whats the point of those games ? rather play fallout new vegas or some shih
Thats ok buddy enjoy your zombification
There it is
That’s why you are unhappy with anything enjoyable about anything else actual brain rot games
It’s fine to want to play a fighter and rack up nothing but air kills but don’t cry and moan when there’s a mode that’s actually dynamic and takes strategy between teammates. SACLOS spaa are over performing but to get rid of them reliably you’re gonna need to do SEAD or protect SEAD players
And on top of all of that you don’t have to play the mode you can play Air arcade or ARB

i play other games like sim 4 / minecraft i don’t have that bug only in war thunder
