Seeing BVVD’s response about Nuclear Thunder gives me hope. It’s bigger and more involved modes like this one that will give more opportunities for more vehicle types (more bombers, more interceptors) and more engaging gameplay. This is a great way for the game to develop, I hope Gaijin really does keep pushing in this direction.

Hopefully we might see AGM-45 and some of the other ARMs to test out before the event is through.
I do hope they keep this mode in the future with some tweaks. It would open up so many possibilities for aircraft and weapons that could be added. Stuff like:
- More strategic bombers
- Some “Novelty” aircraft
- Mainly makeshift bombers like the IL-76M, MC-130, C-17, (possibly C-5 with the tested Minuteman ICBM as a nuke carrier)
- More helicopters (if they allow them to be used in the gamemode)
- Transport focused with some weapons capabilities
- More interceptors
- MiG-31, Su-15, YF-12
- Aerial Refueling (since the map is big enough)
- AWACS
- More Weapons Choices
- Cluster munitions
- Larger Air Launched Cruise Missiles
- MmW weapons
There’s loads of opportunity with the mode to expand on everything.

Modern naval targets
More anti ship missiles
Maritime patrol aircraft
Electronic warfare on a large scale
Stealth would actually matter if modeled ok

Unfortunately IL-76s only really have access to 50kg training bombs iirc… Nothing like the armed C-130s dotted about the globe…
Would love to see an Argentine C-130 though.
Another thing I think would be interesting to add to your list is recon implements, either pods for existing aircraft or maybe even dedicated (sometimes unarmed) aircraft like An-30B.

and giving all this for Sim players aswell, they gonna really apreciate this mode for Sim.
I like the fact that the event is said to come back with some tweaks.
Hopefully, the BR ranges are expanded lower too, so we can see aircraft with AIR-2 missiles or stuff that are like why did you do that with nukes. ex. Canada and the CF-104.
Yeah that would be cool, I was more thinking of the MC-130J with the MOAB and Rapid Dragon system for this mode (and obviously the AC-130J and KC-130J Harvest HAWK). Rapid Dragon would give it a standoff range of over 400km IIRC which would make it pretty good for hitting airfields and the new smaller bases from the event.
Could be good for late WW2 → early Korean War era too. Have stuff like the B-29 and Tu-4 as nuke carriers. Obviously scale the map down a bit but it could work with them.

oh peak, hopefully this wont turn into another wwm where we never see it again, even if it was just the same mission I hope we see it again soon
god I hope it would be so peak to try it out in this mode
There’s not really a reason not to have it in this mode, having to laser guide something like a Brimstone in will be a death sentence against the broken SPAA.
Also the excuse of it not being balanced for tanks wouldn’t apply because they’re AI targets. It would be great to see how they perform in this mode.

Let me use Mjölnir and it would be so peak
enough radiation in the air to give a lead statue a headache
This is where they really need to add colour filtering for different types of sensors (i.e, ground, air, player, ai, vehicle, weapon, etc etc)
Make it totally custom, so you can pick the sensor type and pick a colour for it, or just hide it completely.
Maybe even allowing targeting a specific contact so you can clearly see only its sensor field in a specific colour. Been more than a few times I wish I could do that

yeah that would certainly be nice.
Also looking at some of them there are quite a few instances i am noticing of radars tracking people through things they really shouldn’t be so the mode definitely needs some work but its not as bad as id thought it would be in that regard.
That’s been a thing for years with AI.
I recall flying on Port Moseby in ASB and being hit the moment I crested a hill that was between me and the convoy I was passing and this was 2? ish years ago
So clearly it had been firing at me before I had actually entered LoS.
Though I would take that one step further and actually add something that simulates being able to “fly under the radar”
Something like
When below X height (like 300ft) AI engagement range is reduced by 25%
When below Y height (like 100ft) Ai engagement range is reduced 50%
