Nuclear Thunder is unplayable

I’ve played a few matches in Nuclear Thunder, and I have to say it’s just not enjoyable. SPAA is way too strong, and there are far too many of them. They intercept almost every missile or bomb, and the new weapons don’t work against them most of the time.

On the Russian side, the Buk systems start shooting at you as soon as you get your landing gear up. I have constant RWR missile warnings and can’t do anything. It feels impossible to even get close to the battlefield.

It’s a losing trade to even try attacking because you’re spending so much Silver Lions just to get shot down. On top of that, every third match seems to be on a bad server with packet loss, making it almost unplayable.

What have they done to this mode? Why is it so frustrating now?

On my frist match I was shot down while on the ground by a Buk. That was also my last match of NT.

We need to understand that the only way to win against Gaijin’s BS is by not playing this game. Now just wait for some glorified redditor to flag my comment as being “against the community rules”

Very fun and enjoyable gamemode. Dieing to a BUK is skill issue. Bombing ground probably can be revisited, but I believe this gamemode enforces teamplay, so try getting few people to bomb with you, or escort a nuke.
It is so frustrating probably because there isn’t really any fun in bombing ground, but fighting with players is actually very fun and enjoyable, especially compared to air rb.

The missiles intercepting other missiles needs to be fixed it’s beyond ridiculous and then on top of that there’s near permanent cloud cover to protect all the broken SAMs. All they had to do was fix one bug, the broken AA engaging munitions. Only dedicated CIWS and anti-ballistic missiles that hit to kill should have any chance.
