Hey guys, I wanted to ask you, have you ever managed to win a match in Nuclear Thunder with Russia/China? Because aside from the fact that I can only get into matches with them, they practically always end up losing, no matter how hard we try, every time the “blues” win. I also tried looking at the vehicles available between the 2 main nations of the event, so USSR and USA, and it seems to me the “red” side is slightly at a disadvantage compared to the “blue” side.
The main thing is that BLUFOR gets a lot more powerful air to air, as well as more well rounded air to ground.
Typically in the matches I’ve played it’s not just USSR and China against the western block and tends to also include other nations like Britain and sometimes Japan for the REDFOR side.
Even then, it’s not very helpful. Britain doesn’t have a lot of air to air choices to pick from, and is extremely limited for air to ground. Other nations like Japan which occasionally get put on REDFOR usually don’t make a lot of difference because they are getting put onto REDFOR because there are just too many BLUFOR players.
Personally, I don’t care which side wins. I just care for the gamemode to be fun to play, where making a noticeable impact on the battlefield is possible.
NT currently somewhat does that. Gun spaa is still too strong against munitions, and ships give you like 3rp, so there are definitely still a lot of things to improve on.
So yeah, I would say that REDFOR is at a disadvantage against BLUFOR currently, but I personally don’t care for it to be “balanced.” I care for it to be fun.
