Nuclear Escalation - Summer Development update from BVV_d

And like the April Fool’s event version, will we be able to access some vehicles that we do not have?

Hello @BVV_d , are you guys planning to add new, more modern, supersonic heavy bombers to carry out the nuclear strikes?

The likes of B-1B lancers or Tu-160’s would be perfect for this task, especially in the context of top tier br range.

Japan has ASM-3 which is a ramjet asm missile with an anti radiation mode. Having it as 2 separate options would be cool.

@BVV_d I’d really prefer having fewer active players per match overall. In some matches, it felt like there were just too many. Combined with the SAMs, it was basically nonstop chaos.

What’s the development team’s stance on this? Are there any plans regarding the player count? Fewer players per match would also mean less server load.

No you would not :)
Air maps are too large (and too simplified) even for regular tank gameplay, not to mention infantry (which is numerous times slower (and require even more details) than vehicles).

Nuclear Escalation mode is available for all platforms.

What are the chances of Nuclear Escalation ever coming in sim? Or any features implemented in NE ending up in Sim EC?

AARGM wouldn’t be an issue, the Malaysian F/A-18D with SCS29C should be capable of using them. But there’s nothing for AARGM-ER.

But that’s also not as necessary when there’s Kh-31PD on the Su-30MKM anyways.

I forgot they already had KH-31PD

But yeah, AARGM on the F-18D would do too

What is the release date of everything you guys mentioned?

Everybody is talking about what BVVD said, but what about actual strategic (or any types of bombers) gameplay?

I only care about whether the ultimate goal of dropping a super-large nuclear bomb with B52 will be retained, which will give us great motivation

Seems like absolutely nothing, as per usual for bombers.

Thank you for laying out your thought process, this is an example of great communication. More of this please, Gaijin!

They have great options with supersonic bombers, they could potentially separate bombers for 3 br ranges.

B-52 vs Tu-95
B58 vs early Tu-22
B1 lancer vs Tu-160

And to be fair, depending on nation played, they could also bring some unique ones like the Vulcan and the Mirage bomber.
