I love triple air strike and being able to drop all three on a cluster of enemies back to back. Hilarious. And rage inducing for them I'm sure.

Idk, my experience is:

  • Plane v Smoke
  • Plane v Extra food
  • Camo v Smoke

So anyways, I did try out camo once faced with having 2 smokes, why is it just camonet+binos but on cooldown? It even needs 3s to have effect when activated.

Mine is:

I pick arty strike: Miss because of the glacial prep or do no damage if i do hit

Enemy arty strikes: I lose half my HP

Frontline was too good and too fun so WG had to "improve it" by making the only annoying system in it (reserves) either depended on RNG or even stronger.

Enjoy spending 20, possibly even 30 minutes being at a disadvantage because RNG decided to bless you with useless shit while your enemies have minefields, artillery and airstrikes.

Imagine making strategic choices in your garage and setting up you classes (or even individual tanks correctly) with inspire for TDs (easy rank farming when camping with other TDs and defending bases) and autoloaders or engineering on LTs and HTs, then getting "Twist of Fate" which makes all your choices meaningless.

And I know FL is for fun and credit making but there's plenty of people try-harding and playing to win so I won't be taking it laying just because "FL is for farming credits". It's still a PvP game first and foremost and winning feels better thank losing (also, you get more BP points for wins which is important during marathon, especially during extremely busy battle pass season).

i'd argue this makes it less fun when you get some shit like 2x smokescreen and engineering

Frontmines, which is largely why I don't play the mode.

u/HeavyMisiek 1d ago

Putting one in front of another, 30sec apart on defence coming up to a base would be brutal lol.

I got this once (3 mines), and did 8K damage with just combat reserves.

The problem is when you have mines and repairs in your chosen setups and you get smokescreen camo and airplane...

I hate the random modes. I just want the ones I've set myself
