Can you elaborate, lol?
I sure hope they eventually bring in Manchurai maps - the event is such a pain to play, those Pacific maps are the least fun I ever had in this game, all the enemies are inside of our spawn - while my team is inside the enemy spawns. dogshit gameplay, those maps have zero structure.

Oh so I wasn’t mad…
I always thought when I flew past my wingmates in my Zero, that they got into skirmishes and lost their rear gunners somehow.
But all of them? I know they are exposed but still…

In the first match today, 80% of the enemy team deserted. 
going great
Dude, yesterday I played 4 times in a row as Japan and lost every time. Right after, I played just once as Russia and won in a landslide!
I confirm the players’ complaints that Japan is suffering more than Russia in this event, and I confirmed that yesterday!
Just a quick note about this event:
If you’ve already unlocked the squads featured in it, you can still use the event as a great opportunity to level them up. Even though the predefined squads may seem unbalanced, they’re still significantly better than their base, unupgraded versions.
With that in mind, here’s a list of the squads — you can use the standard game mode to unlock as many of them as possible.
Japanese Empire:
228th Infantry Regiment (38th Infantry Division) - Assaulter II - MP 28 (7.65) Tier 2
27th Infantry Regiment (7th Infantry Division) - Machine Gunner - Type 11 LMG - Tier 2
28th Infantry Regiment (7th Infantry Division) - AT Gunner II - Type 4 Rocket Launcher - Tier 2
8th Engineer Regiment (8th Infantry Division) - Engineer II - Type Otsu rifle - Tier 4
48th Reconnnaissance Regiment (48th Infantry Division) - Raider - Type-95 “Kurogane” - Tier 1
1st Armored Regiment (1st Tank Division) - Tanker II - Ho-Ni I - Tier 2
252nd Air Group (11th Fleet) A6M2 Reisen - Fighter pilot II - Tier 2
705th Air Group (25th Air Flotilla) B5N2 - Attacker Pilot II - Tier 3
2nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment (2nd Tank Division) - APC Driver II - Type-94 Isuzu - Tier 2
Soviet Union:
212th Infantry Regimen (49th Infantry Division)- assaulter II - PPS-42 - Tier 2
315th Infantry Regiment (19th Infantry Division) - Machine Gunner I -Madsen - Tier 2
49th Infantry Regiment (50th Infantry Division) - AT Gunner II - Panzerfaust 60 - Tier 3
212th Pioneer Regiment (15th Infantry Division)- Engineer II - SVT-38 - Tier 3
99 - Motorcycle - I guess the Motorbike PTRS squad
126th Tank Regiment (126th Tank Brigade) - Tanker III - T-34-85 (D-5T) - Tier 4
215th Assault Aviation Regiment (47th Aviation Division) - Attacker Pilot - Sb-2m - Tier 2
287th Fighter Aviation Regiment (269th Fighter Aviation Division) - Fighter Pilot II - Yak-7B - Tier 2
5th Motorized Infantry and Machine Gun Battalion (5th Separate Tank Brigade) - APC Driver II - GAZ AAA - Tier 2

How I understood it: your teammates’ gunners just grabbed their swords and jumped over into the nearest enemy plane for some melee fight. Now I learned not only infantry can skirmish. 
A better idea going forward when having to get XP points per day to compete the levels is to actually reward ALL points earned in the battle to the player. Right now you get your individual point total as a reward BUT it should also include the total earned in the battle that includes all multipliers for Battle Hero awards, x1.5 for the win, and the Premium members x1.5 booster. This encourages all to play the objectives and not just farm individual points making the match better and encourages people to have Premium accounts. Win-win as Gaijin gets money and players don’t have to grind for hours a day.
Also, people take vacations and such so making events run longer and having a gold buy in to grind at a players pace is FAR more beneficial then a 25% booster and a name tag. Some days I have hours to burn through levels while others I have no free time…it’s discouraging to players if they already miss events or know you don’t have the time required to finish the levels…especially since the Victory Silver boxes aren’t around a lot and pull rates for missed event weapons, vehicles and squads are BRUTAL…millions in silver and still need 26 squads…please bring them permanently to the shops.

10 last games :
1x russian : 1 loose
5x japan in a row : 4 humiliating looses / 1 win
1x russian : 1 win
3 times japan in a row : 3 overhumiliating looses
Make something that we don’t go more than 2 times in a row in the same nation! I’m litterally loosing my goddamn nerves!
And please don’t allow more than 2 person playing together in stacks, it just litterally massacre the games for solo players: Just got in a game witth 2x4 stacks in the russian teams. Those event should be played individual.
Update :
- 4 more times now in Japan so 7 times in a row…

That’s what I’ve experienced in the 3 days I’ve completed my daily event task so far, too.
If randomizing the faction choice supposedly fixed any and all balancing issues with this event, then Darkflow Software should be transparent with us and share their internal win rate stats for this event.
If the balancing is good and if we exclude the first event day, then surely the win rates for both factions are going to be very close to 50%, and sharing these stats will alleviate the “subjective” balancing concerns of this community.

What a boring tryhard event as per usual, fcking grind and zergrush of tryhards running rampant, nothing reminiscent of ww2 combat.
and why a fake event? how hard was it to wait and make a manchuria campaaign where we could’ve had low tier AND high tier matches representing Battles of Khalkhin Gol in 39 and the Soviet Invasion in 1945

Also matches with premade Squads that ain’t our own is a shit way to do it. no immersion at all.
ALso ur Premades are weird, equipment and loadouts are not in my flavor.

Hopefully this wet fart of an event will be a lesson. They can look at how many people said “Fuck this event” (Me included). These guys are the M"SHE"U of FPS WW2 games.

So far, from what I saw, the event is nothing but a few guys in tanks and planes kill farming, while the rest are either trying to play the objective or just running around. Yes, this’ll really test the balance!

the saddest part is that the tryhard zergrush call of duty gogogo mentality is so ingrained in their brains, so deeply imprinted in their nature, they literally cant stop themselves from doing it even when it is in direct opposition to the event objective (the shorter the match, the lesser the points gained).
its exactly like the old tale of the scorpion and the toad. they just cant help it, its in their nature.
