I just had an idea, gonna put this in the survey but I wanna share it here as well:
Escalation levels should be linked to losing tickets.
It would work by giving the losing side access to nukes first based on escalation levels, so once they lose x amount of tickets, the next escalation level should be unlocked.
The opposing side would unlock that escalation level once the equivalent nukes have been used by the side who originally unlocked them, instantly upgrading them to the same escalation level, and/or once they themselves lose a sufficient number of tickets.
This way, it feels more like an actual escalation, and not just different phases of a game mode.
So you everyone gets a free nuke because they’re playing bad? I don’t like that.
The current system works well and rewards you for playing good and also gives a single individual a lot of importance.
Now I noticed that in BR 8.7-11.0 (BR range of next nuclear escalation) we have (USSR) only planes with 2x ARM. We should start pushing for the MiG-25BM with 4x Kh-58U. :D
You seem like you’re just looking to argue but I’ll bite.
Nuclear Escalation is quite playable at the last test run’s BR brackets, so I’m not sure what you mean by “ready”.
What I want is to know when it’ll be up again so that all the people who are interested can play and enjoy this refreshing gamemode again.
What I really want though, and this is something I requested in the latest CU post, is that it should stay up permanently under the Events tab, even if it’s still a gamemode under testing, so that we can enjoy it and continuously provide feedback.
