dogshit mode
catch my vikhr...
>>562187574t.
>>562034094
It's boring when everybody instantly leaves
)))))))))))))))))))))that entire match didnt even count
>play 40 minutes to get 13k rpbrilliant
>>562187749keeeeeek
>noooooooooo you can't enjoy things, you have to be a miserable fuck who hates everything and anything, your brain is lying to you!!!!lmao
why do i have this saved and what is this
This event sucks ass. What even is balance?
>PLEASE chimp out
>>562187971pinpoint
I think it's fun. Finally something where you can ground pound
>>562187971
>>562187912You would have gotten several times that amount by just chimping out in RB and head-on'ing the first person you see
>>562188020You can PvP without the match ending in 5 minutes too, it's so much better than ARB.
>recycle 40 items>game glitches out and just deletes themkek
so do they have a reason it's just america and russia beyond wanting people to pay or what
>>562188060doubt it, 400k (700 with premum) in an hour for just afk launching at retards is easy mode
This game mode would be more fun if the U.S. got F4's and the soveit side gets Mig23's at most for fighters. Fighting against F15's and 14's is horribly unbalancedYou also lose connection for some reason pretty frequently.
>>562188143>>562188153>finally join a match>connection to the server lost
>>562188163god forbid half the playerbase isnt forced into fodder vehicles
pity i dont care for (and suck at) jets past ~8.x because i do really like the bear/buff. coping for squadron variants i guessevent seems (as far as i can tell) fairly well set up, tweaking balancing is probably in order but they were changing the WW1 event on the fly too, so itll probably be 'finished' by the final stage
loving the event
>no join in progress for the eventcome on
Why can't I put harms on my f-16?
I try to hit things with GBU-8 on f-15 but they always miss even if the bomb should be "locked" on enemy
How do you test fly the bombers?
This gamemode is GREAT
my points aren't counting up in the achievements tab
Yeah I don't want to play this event.
>>562188903it's aight
This shit is stupid as hell.
>>562188981come on the megaton nuke it's too kino
in todays episode>airfags get to play air ec yet again but this time with three more explosion sprites>roughly 70% of the playerbase calls it shit >server hamster has been fucked to death
>fire HARM>intercepted by a billion SAMs>if all the SAMs are dead it's intercepted by shilkas and BMPsthey literally do not test anything ever, do they
>bongoloids crying in the devblog for their shit planeslmao
Is anyone getting matches?
>>562189250No.
>>562189250i just got oneit immediately booted me with PL77%it's dead jim
Do I need to keep a lock on TV bombs?
>>562189179>see pidors we told you HARMs would be pointless to add))))
>>562189179Should've built better SHORAD.
>>562189250servers are dead as hell
>ARB faggots love this.>It's EC but retarded and ARB faggots genuinely love it.
>>562188912mine neither
>>562189326no
>>562189396Yeah I'm sure a basic-bitch team deathmatch without so much as respawns that's remained unchanged for 13 years is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.
Unleash megadeth over the F-14s with your MiG-29
>>562189396I'm one of the biggest ARB faggots and I HATE THIS SHITTY MODE WITH A BURNING PASSION FUCK YOU AND YOUR 3.0BR SWING YOU FUCKING BANAN NIGGERS
>>562189179AI controlled SPAAs are death machines and they refuse to fix it for some fucking reasonlove getting my ass raped by radarless SPAAs in helicopter PvE
>>562189506catch my fakour
>>562188319>>562188143did yo umake sure to check join in prog matches?
>>562189502Who said anything about TDM
Don't worry the second event is going to be greatRight?
I have decided that someone who doesn't have any actual planes can do this>pick f4>drop sparrows because nobody is going to above 100m>fire sidewinders to make people dodge and then gunfight them>get killed by SAMs until you get a nuke, at which point you can start playing the game
>>562189458How do I control the weird black and white camera I need to use to drop the bombs? It always points the wrong way and it is very hard to look for targets even if they are right in front of you
I'm stuck in the opration processing mines, send help.
>>562189396How is this worse than EC? It's its logical next step that's the same premise except better realized.>>562189571>balance = modebased retardYou could have this mode with normal BR balancing or Sim's rotating BR brackets.
>>562189396As a casfag I kinda like it
You can use zoom to see the target better.
>join event>flied forward a bit>rwr, hug the ground>got shot down by OSA-AKok
>https://warthunder.com/en/news/9760-event-deep-strike-attack-and-defend-important-infrastructure-en>Air War>As with the SEAD event, we’re using Deep Strike as a testing ground for ideas that we’re exploring in a new type of operation for World War Mode, called Aerial Warfare. In this event, players will only control aircraft (ground vehicles will be controlled by AI), and the focus will be on aerial combat and strategic objectives. We’ll tell you more about Aerial Warfare at a later date!
>>562189928the skill of american pilots
>>562189805>How is this worse than EC?Because of the RB pay to win spotting mechanic.
>leveling your crews is pay to winkeeeeeeek
>>562190115Meant for >>562190037
>>562190037>RB mode plays by RB game ruleswoah...also I'm sure dying out of nowhere and having absolutely zero idea what you're merging with until it's too late and the matchup is already decided is very fun (I play Sim and it's not, alongside the lack of mouse aim it's the worst aspect of the mode)
>>562189928>join event>look at the map>use my brain and spawn further back>watch as blueniggers drop from the sky like flies
>>562190224and how are you planning on killing anything from back there
I have no idea how to use ATG weapons
do you have to get the 7700 points in a single match to get all the points?
>6 min in queue reeee
This event is dog shit.
>>562190157no one tell him all the crews are aced
>>562190219It's more fun than getting dogpiled by 15 guys who spotted you visually from all directions across the map while you have zero indication that they're even there.
>>562190224>from the skyFor all intents and purposes I was walking on the ground.
played the eventits dogshiteverything respawnsthere are 20million spaas and every single one you kill just respawns
>>562189595im doing my best
>Nukes don't make any sound.
>>562190817>be deaf and retarded
>>562190573Only the pre-made ones?
Got no american planes past rank IVGot only two Russian planes for it. The 25 PD and the Khazak su-25 - both stock.How fucked am I?
>>562190953both work pretty well
>f14 with ARH allowed>f15 fine>not even the base su27 for vatniks???
>>562190948naturally yes
>>562190840>be genuinely autistic
>>562190592Spotting isn't magic, if you were spotted, that means you were near enemy units, be that players or bots. Also>15 guysThe engagements in this mode aren't anywhere near that big thanks to infinite respawns from multiple airfields spreading the players around the map fairly evenly.
>>562191008I'll give it a go again in a while. Mostly spent my first match getting my shit turned in by those Chinks in Iranian F-15s.
>>562191038NAFO safers o algo.
>>562191235F-14's*
>>562189572Same thing in naval, my lagg got raped by a japanese 75mm from 6.4km
>change one loadout>locked into infinite processing operationbravo
>>562191342just last thread someone was crying their barely flarable fox2s were not good at some niche method
>>562191634Are Chinese angry or the hamster is dead?
This is so fucking boring>a billion SPAA that shoots down anything you lob at them>at most you get 4 ARM's (shot down by said billion SPAA)>only get ARM's on shit platformsAre they retarded???It's not even worth my time to try and fight other players as there's so much SPAA the moment you lift your finger off the deck there's 8 missiles heading your way
>>562191814hamster is being abused right now
you get points for dying, all you need to do is die a lot
>>562191232That doesn't change the fact that I can be detected at twice the range that I can spot people.
Christ the chinkpard is a fucking death bubble once you unlock the AHEAD rounds
I can't log on.
>>562192181Use the website store to buy some golden eagles.
>>562192057IRST and AHEAD is a great combo. Shame it's no longer 8.3
kinda fucked that soviets can't use Su-27 when US can use F-15s and Fakors
>someone on YouTube makes a video about how Gaijin is secretly using Viking anti cheat to take screenshots and read your files while you play war thunder>Someone on the forums ask about it>That stone faggot immediately locks the thread and bans anyone else making a thread about it and admits that they are using Viking anti cheat, something they NEVER disclosed beforehttps://forum.warthunder.com/t/will-we-get-a-statement-about-this/316441Hmm
>>562192057AHEAD shells are good now? Last I checked people were crying they were borderline useless.
>>562192276good idea
Is that bad for pidors or the player count is bugged?
>>562192438They're also tracerless so castrannies have no clue I'm shooting at them, also the radar control screen gives you fucking aimbot>>562192648They're guetto HEVT but they're very, VERY good
>>562192824>literal hydrogen bomb (mutts) vs coughing baby (soviets) "balancing"gee i wonder
>>562192635I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't care. Anton could be fucking my wife and I'd still play war thunder.
>>562192648They were always good on the chinkpard due to the very high RoF
>historical matchmaking is bad when it doesn't favor me :^)
>>562193026it's because the soviet pilots are hydrogen bombs of humanity
>no Su-27>"""historical"""
>>562192824sovicucks are getting a taste of reality (they don't like it)
Can anyone get into a session?
>>562193203>1985>1974
>>562193026>1/10 expert crews
>>562193285So I take it you refuse to use flares or 9Ms on your F-15A?
>>562193392im using the iranian f14 dummy
>>562193450it's a shame i never bothered to spade it at launch because it's entirely and completely unplayable stock at 13.0
>>562192651I almost can't believe they're selling this utter shit for money, but then I remembered it's Gayjin.
>Click on a preset>"Processing operation"
>>562193530>2 fakours stock>>unplayable
>>562193605It gets 2 Phoenixes stock you retard
The hamster is REALLY dead
>>562193729yea my mistake, you are still launching them at people who dont have the chaff key bound in this gamemode
>>562193364Nigga I barely make ends meet as is. Such is life when you buy talismans instead of premiums.
>>562193605i wish it got fakours stock
>historicalNone of this actually happened.
TEC has shaved his beard, should have kept it though as it hid his chins.
>>562193803yeah that's a nice headcannon that doesn't happen everit's unspadeable in the current environment
TUPOLEV WON
Is Nuclear Option better than this?
comrad ivan is using hamster as cocksleeve please understand)))))))
PROCESS MY OPERATION ALREADY
>>562194131Than what?
>>562194131>no mouse aim>barely any planes>the planes that are there are gigasoulless made up nearfuturesloppaThis mode mogs it so hard it's not even funny.
>>562194128я им кoнкpeтный cлaвянcкий пpocтpeл cдeлaл
>>562193530Pretty spadeable in the even, though. Doing it right now. At least if you get good RP returns, my first match still hasn't ended. I get plenty of kills.
This event is so china coded. I've played 3 rounds and the top scorers are the chinksects that can stomach base bombing for hours.
>>562194125just play the gamemode and see
>>562194440I got first place without bombingjust kill everyone
I like how shit like the faggotrad and the osa doesn't care about shit like multipathingVery fun to play against AI units like that!
>>562194513They both fire IR missiles retard, no shit you can't multipath them.
Am I in the queue or not?
>>562193567Those two packs are a pretty good deal for the GE alone
>>562194603yes
>>562194592You are so goddamn retarded
>>562194131>half arsed joke event>early access since 2023idk man
>>562194685Why doesn't it show how many players are in the queue?
>>562194716Apparently yes, I heard "Osa" and thought about "Strela".
>>562194809Don't ask questions that are not in your best interest.
xaxaxaxaxa
>>562194512I can't. I'm playing russia. Even though I have an aced IRIAF with a 2.5k/dI either need to grind a new rank6 jet or get one trhough the event. After playing this garbage for an hour though I think it's just going to be quicker to grind the techtree
>>562194840Anyways neither the osa or the roland cares that you're glued to the deck to try and avoid it and all the long range sams in the distance
>>562194603Why are the RB battles locked now?
>>562194245>no mouse aimWhy???
>>562194995more questions will get you in trouble, little pidor
>>562194131Significantly. Better AI, better target variety, bombers that aren't just memes, helicopters, every plane actually matters and has a solid variety of loadouts
