About Nuclear Escalation and the Bomber Damage Model by BVV_d

Maybe you struck middle fuselage?
…or wing root, lol.
Anyway, when it comes to air launched rockets, 9,7kg TNT is not enough, you need like 4, while 12kg TNT will usually do the job in 1 hit.
Does it make any sense?
Not really.
Anyway, it’s absolutely ridiculous. Tu-2S best fighter of WW2.

Wing root most likely but I doubt it should be able to withstand shell made to obliterate tanks. More than 3 times tnt of su152 he which was capable of turning german tanks into unusable scrap.

Wouldn’t you like to improve the behavior of the gunners? The enemy is flying nearby, and they’re just sitting there drinking tea.



I’m going to write this in all caps because then maybe it’ll catch the eye of someone who can do something about it…

WHAT’S THE POINT OF JOINING A PLAYER IN THESE BATTLES?

1 to a maximum of 5 minutes of play and then a loss—great.

I’ve enabled an option in the game settings so that matchmaking doesn’t add me to battles that have already started, but it seems like that setting doesn’t work on NE.

And Mr. Bulannikov doesn’t want to correct this damage model?




Why do you need it if it works intermittently?

Ok i tested something…
If you don’t spawn at all and leave immediately you don’t get the daily bonus (at least) burned. I can show pictures for proof about that. I don’t know how it works with boosters though.
I’ll test it some time.

For the moment

Spoiler






The first picture in the row is the match i left because it was like the ones you mentioned, i would take off and the match would end.
The last picture is the match after it, i still got the daily bonus (where i have the cursor) for the vehicle .
So in case it’s unplayable the match you get into, just leave without spawning, i didn’t even get penalty (though i should retry it in case it finished by the time i was out).
You can see the times etc. to verify which game was played first , but clearly the bonus should have ended in the match i left. It didn’t.
So i guess that helps not to lose daily bonuses at least.

And btw do somethin g with gadamned trash of servers you have . Seriously. (And before some smartazz says something stupid it’s my my internet, only WT has that problem and only in the stupid NE mode) . Btw the last game it was mass DC. It wasn’t even in the middle of the match and it DC’ed me , then i relog (1 min later ??) it was over…
And that thing has happened at least 2 times today. ONLY in the nuke’s phase.

Oke so bought AV-8B (NA) on Friday so I can play NE USA, and since Friday Im unable to find any game in 11.3 NE, is there a reason for this, my longest wait was 34 min and I still didnt enter 1 game since Friday.

So what 11.3 is just unplayeble for Nuclear Escalation or what? Can I get refund for a Plane since its ussles to me? Thankl you

Devs refusing to take any action to solve queue time issue. There are way more blufor than redfor so it takes forever to get queued unless you are playing red.

Teams have gotten severely bad in NE as well, no one communicates anymore, no one tries to take out long range SAM like S-300 (not even F-18E/F players), most players just focus on air to air, Its literally turning into air rb 2.0

I mean zero updates regarding issues thgat majority of community is asking for… and ofc ARB players want to kill this mode thats why they just do air to air kills and then make 20 kills and 1k points wasting everyone time…

Not exactly.

Let’s just say not all have the armaments to go A-G from the start. The unguided weapons pretty much suck after 11.3 , which gives no other option than try to get A-A kills with the “stock” A-A missiles that in higher tiers are better than the ones you unlock anyway (up till you get proper ARH and IR missiles and proper guided A-G weapons).
Personal example in F-4E AUP , i tried bombs and rockets…didn’t go well. So i sticked with 2x AMRAAMs and 2 and then 4 AIM-9Ms till i get some proper weapons… in the last tier of upgrades/mods. It took me 10-11 games (±30mins per game). And even those A-G weapons i got can be shot down by SPAAs/SAMs etc.

And because of the free nuke plane it’s good mode to grind mods. So many will grind mods that way.
The nuke plane you can get it either way …so…

Another thing is the KDR that counts as ARB in general, so many people won’t even try to go A-G without stand-off weapons and take 6 deaths per game . Others tryhard to “farm” KDR because it’s way easier to kill someone that has 2xSPAA ,1-2 SHORADs and another 2 players on him.
Especially some planes …JA37 for example, in a downtier it’s uncontested with All-Aspect PD and Skyflash(DF) and in NE they can pick downtier by skipping games (and maximize RP/SL gains as well). Same in higher tier with the premium Su-30s…in a downtier as 13.3 they a relatively better than the opposition.

It’s the nature of the mode. As long as you can always get the freebie nuke plane and it revolves around nukes, people will do whatever will net them better gains and is easier…
Now…take out the nukes so you can’t “just end” the game , make it win or lose on resources and HAVING to work around it and you’ll see people actually trying to “win” instead of spawn the “I win” planes…which can be done by killing players as well.
And no, if you take the killing players aspect in giving points for the nuke planes less people will play , or you will have to give them for free useable air to ground weapons for the tier and depending of the capabilities of the aircraft , it might not even be useable in low amounts (for example guided weapons that SPAAs/SAMs can shoot down, you need to have an amount of them).

Personally, i’d just make it …Escalation mode, without the nuclear. Half the mode will fix itself then , just because the win condition changed.

And it need balance, Blue team that are 12.7 always figth againts SU30. So its unfair.

Again still waiting for answers to my questions:

  1. Why I cant find ONE game in 11.3 since Friday now its Monday?
  2. Can I get refund for AV–8B (NA) since I bought it on Friday and didnt play ONE game STILL?

Thank you.

You not playing something you bought isn’t entitled to refunds under their refund policy

If you didn’t plan on playing it, why buy it?

You seem to not understand what I said.
I WANT to play with it BUT I CAN’T find the game…Thats why Im asking for refund, its GAMES job to provide me with a GAME, not mine… If I could then I would not complain here but play the game with that plane…

Also I obviously BOUGHT it to PLAY with it…like whats so hard about that???

Technically, you bought nothing, you are just renting stuff.

Does anyone use aim points to take out S-300 or BUK? How do you pin point location of S-300/BUK when they are not visible on the map?

I used to but I found its just easier to hit one at a time instead of trying to place markers and then hitting them all at once.

I have the rough location of all 5 frontline SAMs memorized, but to get the exact location I pop up to bait them to shoot at me so I can see the missile smoke trails.
