Might be this perhaps?
Try a different airfield.
I remember the first one and while i thought that it had some very clear issues i absolutely did not think that one could ever ruin it this hard.
guys is what im hearing true? is nuke thunder terrible now

Gaijin because “taking a good idea and making it worse ruining it” is too long
Spaa everywhere and they start targeting you as soon as you turn on your engine. Also the rewards are really too nerfed

Well well well, who could have thought that giving one side mediocre HARMs and other ramjet god-stick with practically infinite effective range and perpetual Mach 3 would slightly tilt the balance DEAD/SEAD-wise. Absolutely unthinkable.
Modelling ramjet to give it to the best CAS nation in the game - yeah, sure.
Modelling ALARM so it does what it should for once on like 2 planes - well, you see…
After certain point you start to wonder why it’s always Russia. Oh, and also Buks just so happen to be on their side, too.

So literally nothing changed from the unbalanced state on the dev?

GBU-39s, AGM-154s entirely broken. Direct hits with 0 damage. I’ve got to hand it to you Gaijin, pushing an update to live that is somehow more buggy than an already buggy dev server is impressive.
The focus on the premiums is showing.

lol, gaijin sure likes silencing anything remotely negative.

Short experience: Instead of overtuning the short range SPAA, they massively overtuned the long range SPAA (BUK). It fires tree to four missiles from different launchers at you the moment you take off from your airfield (it doesn’t matter if it’s one close to the frontline or further back). You get shot down before even reaching the frontline most of the times because a stray BUK you didn’t account for got you. Destroying BUKs is nearly impossible as everything you fire at the will be intercepted except for sneaking up on the from the sides, which gets you fired at by the remaining BUK launchers. Currently it’s even more frustrating than the final state of the last nuclear thunder event.
Greetings, please, lower the BR limit to 12.7 or 12.3, or eve lower.
I’ve bought premium US F-18C which have both ARM and ASM loadouts but cant use it due to 13.0 BR limit.
Other nation also have a lot of vehicles below 13.0 which fit for event.
Please, make it also playable too.

We begged them for this on the dev server so that we could use the Tornado GR4 (you know, a nuclear strike aircraft in a nuclear strike mode). They don’t care.

The servers are aweful god damn, it’s almost impressive how unplayable it is.

Cool, now 10% of the playerbase can play the mode, 8% of that 10% being premium players. Oh, and only for a little under a week. And without the cool event vehicle rewards. And the nuclear capable aircraft are awful. And the SAMs are even worse for anyone not doing A2G

Ah they didnt fix it since first nt rip
They also didn’t implement a fuse timer for nuclear bombs (which would have been realistic), so you can still drop them while hugging the ground and do suicide bomb runs, taking everyone with you who tries to intercept you.
Here is the feedback :
- Where are the free vehicles? Who told you to turn Nuclear Thunder into a tool for encouraging the purchase of premium jets?
- Gripen radar is literally refusing to pick up jets WITHIN the radar range
- Almost no one is going for nuke runs on airfields; everyone is high-alt notching and bvr fighting
- SL incentive is gone
- people who dont have multiple high br jets are not welcome i guess?
- Airfield timer was unneeded, its a horrible change.
So
-
Remove airfield timer, as it creates a snowball effect, especially late game, placing one side in such a disadvantage that they can’t come back from with skill
-
Give us back the free vehicle choices, so that everyone can enjoy the game mode
-
Un nerf the economy of Nuclear Thunder
-
Stop ruining a game mode that was fun the first time it was introduced.
-
Nuclear Thunder is not a tool for boosting premium jet sales
As it stands now, it caters to a minority, it’s not fun, and there is no incentive to play(economy).
I played the last Nuclear Thunder event from start to its end and enjoyed it. I won’t be playing this one anymore in this condition.
Edit: Just roll it back to how it was at the end of the previous Nuclear Thunder test, fix the anti air, keep the ships and done.

I hope devs bring lower brackets at some point cause top tier is too much for me. Just give me mig23mld and r24r
Us side free vehicles were garbage even in first iteration so you had to buy f4s to be competitive
