[2020] [Feedback] Enduring Confrontation for Helicopters

Enduring Confrontation for Helicopters

Helicopter Arcade and Realistic battles have been switched off. Instead of them, Helicopter Enduring Confrontation for Arcade Battles is now available in the "Events and Tournaments” tab.


Changes compared to test launch on December 21st-24th:

Zhengzhou mission added.


Respawn timer for Helicopters with BR 9.0 and higher has been added (same as for air SB). Max timer value is 10 minutes. If a player only has a top rank helicopter in his line-up, he will be given another one available for respawn, however, it will not have experienced crew and will not have any modifications unlocked (same as in air SB).


Time required to capture an air zone is twice less.


Helicopter landing site durability has been increased.


Minimum time required for air capture zones to appear has been reduced from 5 to 3 minutes.

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

The game is actively enabling you to stop him by the overwhelming choice of helipads you have to choose from. Most maps have more than 5-8+ to choose from. Due to the very nature of EC, people will always eventually find spawn locations, which are protected by AAA. Add to this part of the EC objective is to advance into new zones and take the majority of the map, people are going to naturally stray across into an airbase.

Its the same situation of someone loitering near a base in Air RB or rushing a spawn point in Ground RB. There will always be those that do it and there is no way to reasonably stop every instance of it from happening without blocking off whole areas of the map for one team, which is counterproductive in many other ways and is not how the game functions.

Plus as I said, if someone is near one of your bases in Heli EC, do not spawn there. It is your choice to spawn there knowing someone is waiting. Its the very reason we have so many.

When we will be ready to announce it. Simple as that
