Yeah, it’s not just OSA’s imo. The HAWK’s are absolutely murderous today, and I have been able to successfully work around/dodge/chaff them every previous day of the event. Something happened to the SPAA code today.

OK to be fair i havent tested the new rewards yet so i am not aware if there has been a buff, so im trusting you that they may really have been buffed, to which i sadly dont have an answer since my experience is from the pre-buffed AA

Apparently you’re supposed to play cat and mouse with that one system until one of your missles or the AAs missles get through. Nevermind the other AAs fireing at you or enemy aircraft.

They were “buffed” but the change doesn’t appear to be that great:

And especially coupled with new and improved SPAA’s, the overall results might be worse for ground pounding today after the patch. I only played one match, RU side, and it was not awesome. Will have to see how more matches go, and try US side still.

HAWKs are suddenly destroying everything with first missile,cant even climb above multipath height to drop GPS KABs. Rolands snipe you when multipathing from 10km away through terrain,and A2A rewards for 5 kills i dont even have 1k score or 500 SP,killed your own mode with those changes.

Haha, it’s so classic. Increasing the ground kill reward and decreasing the air combat kill reward, increasing the points required for nuclear bombs, the increased ground kill reward and the points required for the increased nuclear bomb are equal to each other. The conclusion is that they have reduced the air combat kill reward, and they turn a blind eye to the real problem of this activity

Ok, yeah it’s not just me then. The HAWK’s are absolutely insane now after patch.

And I still have not experienced the new and improved OSA’s 💀

so like this is the funny game mode we were promissed 3000y ago?

more of a fools than april :/

ok 1. im not saying you should waste 1 sortie per AA destroyed (since my tactic is supposed to prevents destruction)
2. i am also of the opinion that the AA is very strong right now and shouldnt be the sniper anti-ordinance machines they are right now and obviously firing multiple missles/bombs shouldnt be all destroyed BUT i think this dynamic of not having a 100% destruction per ordinance dropped brings a change of pace compared to what we have in ARB and SIM. I just think that having the AA shoot at missiles/bombs occasionally would definitely make this game feel more alive and especially Airfield AA could benefit from this change as spawnkilling with IR missles or ground munitions could be made a bit harder.

If i communicated this sub-optimally then i appologise for that

I love this game mode 😍 It just needs more work still lol. I’m optimistic. I appreciate being able to play a “work in progress” mode. The SPAA’s just need to chill out some more 😂

Sounds like not enough people bought F-4S, F-18C or the stages so have to at least force people to buy the last stage before the bomber. :)
