Update 2.55.1.42

@Stona_WT

• The team’s central frontline airfields have been moved further from the front line. The side frontline airfields have been moved closer to the central airfield. The positions of surrounding air defense missile systems, strongpoints, and tactical assembly areas have been adjusted.

Oh wow, they really moved that airfield back. Nice! This should further incentivize spreading out around the map 👍

What is the point in killing the AI? Genuine question when they just spawn back in.
Every missile gets intercepted. Get less reward than player kills.
What i miss?

Cuz it’s an objective based game mode and clearing AA means your team can drop nukes further in and your ground forces will take depots.

[tokerstar]

Dont they just repawn tho? so all the effort for a 10 min window?

[stuka2689]

Why nerf the A2A reward? Why gaijin always think one should go down if one go up?

[Drya_d_BMD]

they wouldnt get intercepted if more players focused in Suppression of Enemy Air-Defenses so they cant intercept stuff because they arent there. it takes quite some time for them to respawn but this isnt noticed by 95% of the players because that 95% doesnt care about the SEAD aspect of this event

[RC1138Delta]

I dont know what the best balance for respawn time is yet but they increased the timer for respawn to 12 minutes now. Also they don’t respawn without a depot so yes you need to utilize the window

[Drya_d_BMD]

then destroy them again. if you did it once you can do it again. + it gives more points then

[tokerstar]

Thats not the point tho. They reduce rewards for pvp when PVE doesnt pay

OK then il use the A10 to do PVE. Now i have to fly further and when i get there the AI smokes every missile. Die and fly even further to do everything worse than the fighter. So basically its worse playing CAS then in air RB.

[RC1138Delta]

95% of the players because that 95% doesnt care about the SEAD aspect of this event

Yeah previously I would blame the balance of the event grind for it forcing players to PVP, but now with this update people actually need to start playing the objective. Anyone still spamming head ons in the center is just trolling

[tokerstar]

because the rewards are that grim for killing a cracked AI why would anyone bother. This isnt role play

[RC1138Delta]

You can play however you want to man. You aren’t really engaging with this in a meaningful way to actually talk about the balance you are just whining

[pedrostarler-psn]

Is the best way to get points now to spam rockets at anti air from far away?

[Drya_d_BMD]

not really. if done with the slightest bit of care its actually very much possible to effectively defeat the AAs like OSA and Flakrakpanzer. obviously just going there, shooting the missle and expecting it to work wont cut it. you have to outsmart the AI because its not some witchcraft to wait for the AA to focus on you, shooting the missile after they shot theirs, and manoeuvre until your missile takes their AA. i know its tedious and not some fast cheesy way to gain much but thats how it is IRL too. or just a get a friend or 2 and overwhelm them with massive barrages.

Read the patch notes brother 🙂 Air kill SP’s were reduced, and ground unit SP’s were increased. It is a new day.

READ THE PATCH NOTES BROTHER.

[Scärlett]

i never got this issue only after new update start happen !

@RC1138Delta

try the other options.

i used TAA and that fixed it thank you

@Morvran_

It is literally impossible to nuke anything, the moment you get close to a target, you are shot down by OSAs, this gamemode has gone from imbalanced to just outright stupid

BRO! The HAWK’s are INSANE now too. SUPER aggressive. Oh boy…

Damn HAWK’s are LAUNCHING on me right after takeoff. Not just track, but spamming missiles at me.

[tokerstar]

I kill then with the a10 cannon, benefit= zero. I was shooting 2 A2G missiles and 1 would get through. But for what? They respawn after 10 mins, give peanut score, iv flown for longer than it takes to get action in airRB so leaves CAS planes useless.

[SilentTracker]

Edit:

So, if the ground rewards are STILL bad and you HAVE played some matches today, I understand your frustration then. The results of today’s changes do not seem to have improved the ground pounding vs PvP air kills. That is too bad. Cheers bro.

@Morvran_

The rewards are still less than an A2A kill.

killing 2-3 OSAs with AGM-88s still gives less than 1x A2A kill

DUDE, how many matches have you played since the patch?!

You keep blathering on like nothing has changed today! GO READ THE PATCH NOTES and play some matches! Get off the forums, stop complaining about how things where YESTERDAY!.

If you have not restarted in the last 2 hours, close the game and restart to get the patch.

[Drya_d_BMD]

then use the ARMs. obviously using the cannon and getting like 2 missiles off wont pay. when i played with them my biggest worry were the enemy players and not the AA missiles. maybe change your tactics to be more profitable
