3. 💥 Gameplay and Score Acquisition Strategy
· To deploy the B52H or Tu-95M, you need 2,500 points.
· There are two main ways to earn points: gaining air superiority by shooting down enemy aircraft (MiG-23 MLD recommended) or attacking ground targets (Su-25, Su-24 recommended).
· Some aircraft can be equipped with nuclear bombs, which consume additional spawn points.
· Recommended strategy: First, farm points with cheaper aircraft, then equip the Mi-23 with a 250kg nuclear bomb to attack AI targets, and then equip the Su-24 with a 500kg nuclear bomb to destroy enemy auxiliary airfields for efficiency.
· Auxiliary airfields are located at the front, while main airfields are at the rear. Destroying an auxiliary airfield grants significant points.
· There are no redeployment limits in this mode, but repair costs will be incurred. You can continue to redeploy and play with the same aircraft.
· The main objective is to destroy enemy airfields to reduce the opposing team's tickets.
· There are many AI targets, but enemy anti-air defenses (medium to long range) are very strong, so low-altitude flight is recommended.
