In the Eagle’s Shadow major update, we updated the models for AI ground vehicles in the Nuclear Escalation mode. The model re-work covers surface-to-air systems, such as MIM-23 Hawk, the MIM-104 Patriot, the S-300, the 9K37M1 Buk-M1, as well as the 9A52-2 Smerch MLRS, the M270 MLRS, the 9K79 Tochka tactical missile system, and the M978 and M939 transport vehicles.

The appearance of these AI vehicles now matches the level of detail of vehicles that are used by players in War Thunder!

In addition, carrier battle groups are heading to Nuclear Escalation.

The game will feature the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Nimitz aircraft carriers, escorted by the USS Oliver Hazard Perry frigate and the USS Halsey destroyer.

The Chinese group includes the newest Fujian aircraft carrier, the Type 052D destroyer and the Type 054A missile frigate.

Has the AI SPAA been toned down too? flying over the ground or anywhere on southeastern city is basically impossible from it and kills what fun there is in it

When will we get new AI logics like the SPAA acting even remotely realistic instead of tracking without actual locks and intercepting any and all munitions thrown at them or the long-range SAMs not firing on anything the second you take off?

For southeastern city specifically no due to the additions of the Type 052D/Halsey with SM-6/HHQ-9 which are massive upgrades over the previous ships. They effectively act as an additional mobile long range SAM site. Kinematically they seem to be way more deadly in my experience especially at range, arriving faster and with better energy retention.

Bigger versions of some of those would make good wallpapers
