First mission was rather easy, even fun. Second is "fuck you, you're not getting this unless you're jobless and want to put in more than 8 hours a day."
Yeah, they had the whole "25 for a chance" but no one buys into that, really. Also victories are almost entirely out of your hand unless you try to beat the system (Yer-2 Arcade spam) or bring out a squad. At least kills were something you get reflective of your own effort.

Honestly I feel like they are compensating for the first one being a bit too easy. I would have been fine with a difficult challenge if it was based on individual play and not based on how functional your potatomates are.
[editline]5th August 2014[/editline]
they had a whole week for the first challenge, I dont know why they just said "get 90 kills lol" instead of doing daily challenges like they did with the TB-3/XF5F, or at least a series of challenges instead of giving people a week to do something that takes a day to do
[editline]5th August 2014[/editline]
maybe its like artillery ranging, first challenge was too easy, second challenge was too hard, so the third one should be dialed in perfectly :v:
Would be fine if it was perhaps 100 kills or for something special like the A26c (it's not even in the tech tree )

But it's FREE shit in FREE TO PLAY game
Yes, sometimes it's easy free shit and sometimes it's hard free shit, but it's not like only some people could go for the tanks (mainly when the best farming vehicles in the game are Rank Reserve for germany and rank 2.3 for Russians).
Maybe they wanted to get more people into tanks with easily accessible low rank premium.
It's up to them, they aren't obliged to give completely optional not-pay-to-win content to anybody.

Basically this. I had fun doing the first mission, especially because it was something that wasn't just up to the luck of the draw. You have so much more control over your kills and wins in ground forces than you do in planes. Planes are so much more situational and dependent on your team's plane choice and how well you can work together.
Trying to get 250 wins in a plane is a total crap shoot because it's extremely hard to carry a team in the air where teamwork is so much more important than it is with tanks. You can be the best damn War Thunder player ever and you'd still have a hell of a time getting consistent victories without just gaming the system to take advantage of broken mechanics.

for a weeklong challenge 100 kills aint shit. People had to get like 1000 kills in a month to get the invader last year

well those were special planes, the ones they are giving out now are buyable with real money and have potential value to gaijin.
I remember getting the D-13 in Fw 190 A-1/U2. I fucking mastered that plane and regularly had 3-4 kills per RB match :v:

[B]On August 5th 14:00 GMT to 19:00 GMT time on August 6th[/B]
[QUOTE]Main Features of this mode:
After starting the session, each player in the team will receive an initial 400 Points which he spends to get the first vehicle to participate in the battle;
Matchmaking is calculated according to the vehicle that has maximum BR in the line-up;
If the player fails to earn enough points for respawn before his vehicle is destroyed, he withdraws from the battle;
The number of respawns are limited only by the points earned by the player;
A team wins once it accomplishes the mission’s task or destroys all enemy vehicles - the same as for standard War Thunder missions.

Definitely for combined, but I wonder if they'll do it with plain Jane RB air battles.
Anything to make playing an attacker worth it versus bomber spam and CS:S fighter wars.
So far its combined HB with point system, the AAA on Ash River makes planes useless pretty much.

its pretty easy to munch on the AAA if you are willing to set aside an attack run for it at the beginning

Provided the AI AAA doesn't one shot you while you're doing it... which is what usually happens.

Can't wait to see the team all drive up one another to get onto the roofs.
They need to do something about how many respawn points bots give in that new gamemode, racked up over 3000 of them just by popping the retarded AI tanks sitting in a cluster near a flag within a couple of mins and basically unlocked my entire garage to be used in the battle and some leftover
How many planes/tanks can you use in a battle on that mode? (As in different planes/tanks, not respawns)

They devs seem to treat 1.43 as something pretty major, so there might be some sweeping changes with it. Especially in the payload department.

Just tested whether you can use multiple different planes and you can (In that new mode.)
[QUOTE=goon165;45601807]Goramit[/QUOTE]
It's pretty much destined for 1.43, or shortly after. They want one jet bomber for every nation at a time. With the Ar 234 and the 234C on the way, the Go 229, and others - Germany's set. Japan gets the new R2Y and Kikka. Russia will have the Tu-14 and IL-28. Britain and US will have Canberras and maybe something else.

HG-III didn't exist tho. Like not even as a design.
HG2 was "lets sweep the wings 30 degrees" and then the built one but it probably didn't fly.
HG3 was "at some point we should try a 45 degree sweep" but no actual designs ever happened but lots of wehraboo fanfiction did.
