This is a topic I found interesting to discuss. Currently, successfully using a nuke doesn’t yield any considerable reward, but if it did, what do you think it would be and what would be fair for such a feat?

There already is a reward, you get extra SL for dropping a nuke in GRB

Usage of mass destruction weapons should not be rewarded.

Nukes were a dumb addition in my opinion. End the game for everyone early, even others who are doing equally well.
Start penalizing the use of Nuke for all the teammate kills

if you dont want the game to end thats your only option
yeah, but at a lot of BRs it’s physically imposable to intercept a nuke carrier if you are not already camping their air field, even if you have the SP to J-out of a perfectly good tank and pull a plane.

most of it boils down to 1. unreliable teammates that get curbstomped or 2. people who abuse broken metas neither are easily preventable
sure they are. one buy making the nuke siren sound before its imposable to intercept the carrier and second just removing the stupid mechanic altogether, the game was no worse for not having some spawn camping or aim botting moron nuking the entire map.
Intercept my own team? I find it the most annoying when a teammate uses the Nuke. Still annoying when an enemy does it. But literally nothing can be done when a teammate decides they want to end my match early
I have been a proponent of replacing the game ending Nuke with a giant artillery barrage instead. Big creepy arty would cause a lot of damage and wouldn’t end the game. I think it would feel rewarding, both as the user and even in the receiving end it could be cool. Everyone loves big explosions

The purpose of getting a nuke is an extreme challenge for the best players, so frankly I think it should be harder to get. Stuff like the france 7.7 lineup just prints them, and making them harder to get helps with that, and increasing the reward for those who do because it’s actually difficult and not just like sitting on one op spot with the Ferdinand or something for 5 minutes. If you want to stop the nuke most fighters can accelerate faster, especially once you reach jets like the Messerschmit 262.
That doesn’t work anymore, by the time you hear, J out and spawn aircraft the new nuke reworks already give you a guaranteed drop. The days of interception are over unless you are already in the air and/or someone lets you know.
