Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) test event

• The maximum number of players on the defending team has been reduced from 16 to 12.

We’ve seen your feedback and looked at the statistics of the SEAD event and have seen that it is often too difficult for the attacking team to achieve victory. Unlike World War mode (the mode that these test missions are developed for), where the starting conditions are dictated at the operational level, in this event the starting conditions are predetermined and can be adjusted.

We hope to make gameplay more balanced and interesting for both sides, giving the attacking team more opportunities to successfully complete their objective and expect that the above change will allow both teams to enjoy this event more. Thanks for playing so far and leaving your feedback!

Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.
