Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

@Smin1080p_WT will we be getting at least 1 extra camo for the F18C Late and Su-30SM or just the stock camos at launch???

Absolute max speed yes, but with little fuel and just a single nuke. Would be decently fast and more agile. For Britain, Germany and Italy it is the best choice for top tier nuke carrier for now

Can’t typhoon carry nukes?

And wouldn’t an F-111 with little fuel and 1 nuke (maybe one fits in the internal bay?) be fast as well?

German one maybe. But Britain at least, airborne nukes haven’t been used for a long while. I don’t think even the tornado GR4 ever “carried” them

Even if it could, the enemy should have a decent chance of intercepting the nuke carrier

They can just strip missile armament

pretty sure by the time the Typhoon came around, no country that used it used nuclear bombs

Mate, this isn’t about the nuke carrier being able to fight back, this is about the fact that you aren’t gonna intercept an Eurofighter due to its speed and agility unless you are already camping the enemy airfield

Isn’t there some deal where other countries can carry US nukes on their jets, if they ever have to be used?

They still have to get through air defence

It’s a dumb bomb after all, not a Kh-38

TBH, you could lob it just fine, you can easily get a good few miles of thrown on a dumb bomb

that would be pretty fun shame not a lot of people have the tornados lol

Would force you to climb up well inside of air defence range

you pretty much hug the ground until a second or two before release, now IDK the exact range you’d get but you’d be pretty safe until the nuke exploded

lol
lmao even

Plenty of maps don’t allow SPAAs/SAMs to intercept even the earliest nuke carriers and even on the maps that don’t severely limit the effectiveness of AA systems planes can just easily follow the terrain to avoid enemy air defences

Isn’t that suppression enough though? You are basically forced to hug ground until last second

The drop area seems to be quite large on most maps. I’ve had plenty of situations where the nuke carriers only had to show themselves for a second, if at all

Did they update the ammo count and flares again?

You think it is somehow problematic for the nuke carriers that they cannot climb?
There is no altitude requirement to drop the nuke, even if they could climb, they still wouldn’t.

Just replace current bases with infinite health and spread base destruction rewards over damage. Additionally buff kill rewards so people who wants to go for kills are not held back by the thought of grind.
