Meet Nuclear Escalation: Vietnam!

can we please have the max BR moved to 11.3 so we can use the F-4E for america the only radar missles we get are the AIM-7D which is very unreliable and the AIM-9C which can get 1 chaffed because of its pulse seeker some may say this would be unfair because the F-4E is supersonic with more flares than the russian MIG-23 or MIG-21 but i think it would be fine because although america would have more countermeasures the russian aircraft have better missiles and a lookdown radar

There’s these things called “Rockets” and “Ballistic Computer”. I’ll let you get out of the box from there.

True it has some sort of sandbox aspect which I like. I can do whatever I want in this mode and entertain myself for a while.

What are weakspots of baku btw? I got 2 skippers and 3 1000 lb

Could lead with that. I hate having to assume people don’t know, because I keep finding so many that don’t understand what five minutes of google searching can accomplish.

I’m not using my language to belittle you, but to get you to stop complaining and try finding a solution with what you got. Teaching how to fish vs giving the fish.

Baku is dead. The final gbu10 was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the optics button, and then it was over.

The old bad habit of under tiering attack aircraft is really ruining this one.
Seriously, A-10s and Su-25s shouldn’t even be here, they should be banned like the MiG-27. Also Harriers with mid 80s missiles like AIM-9L sidewinders.
I mean if I am in a Phantom and see a Su-25 I can only pray I can outrun it as I can’t defend against it’s R-60s

And the US is really crippled with only the C Phantom especially as the japanese premium version is allowed. I can understand as the in game E is the late model, but maybe we should have the D and B models of the Phantom or an early E without Slats and only B and E Sidewinders

Outside of this game mode, war thunder should make weapons a BR variable. Like for example a MiG-21bis only armed with R-13s having a lower BR than carrying R-60s.

I’ve said this last nuclear escalation as well, but having Nuclear escalation specific weapons and BR’s would be a great idea. I’m hoping they’ll be more likely to do this while the mode is permanent, as that would prob be easier than now while it’s just a one off test.

Having weapons restricted to specifically nuclear escalation (NE) would allow gaijin to add way more weapon systems that would otherwise never be added because they would be way too overpowered in ground RB. But restricting those loadouts to only be in NE would mean they can add them without having ground rb suffer.

Plus making a new BR ranking for NE (similar to how AB and RB have different ones) would allow them to have strike aircraft be more on par with the actual fighters (no more egregiously under-tiered missiles hopefully).

I just lost my 150 sl booster on a match that was already over when I joined…

if it was ever added to sim i would hope that the ais would have an awareness nerf because right now theyre tuned so that at the average players peak (with all assists and 3rd person) theyre still winning like 60% of encounters

F117 were so stealth nobody ever noticed them in vietnam, not even US forces themselves

I kinda appreciate freedom of movement in this iteration, I can finally fly at any alt freely and have multiple ways to strike targets

God damn I regret so much not buying AJS already. These rear aspects on the AJ are not cutting it for interceptor duty. I feel like I’m asking for permission to mount.

Hey @Stona_WT, you are all cooking with this one. I have one request though, could you look into the rewards for destroying ground targets and especially naval targets? The naval targets are more scarce and more difficult to destroy in terms of ordnance so I feel consequently the reward for destroying them should be higher. It’s also a longer trip for the bomber to make and more downtime. Cheers
