Nuclear Thunder!

First game was all it took for me to do the first stage USSR. I’m onto the third one for US and nearly there

it took me 5 games for the USSR task and im still not done with the US one

idk what to say man, but the MiG-23 is the best nuclear bomber for grinding score. It outruns many things that it can’t kill, gets in, gets out, easy

i got 5k score from my last match using the MiG-23, the issue is getting enough sp to spawn it

I just flew out the MiG-29, killed like three tomcats then spawned it lol

I knew something was going on. Keep crashing every game when Im nowhere near the floor. Was hard to tell in fast jet but yes. The game mode is that broken

the trees are obviously firing surface-to-air missles at you

If it is possible to open up the use of aircraft from other countries, which one do you think can shine in this mode

Maybe the gripen

Gimme Vulcan as a reward too

Idk you, but I tried to do some cas in the event the last day and i was one-shootet by a bmp-2

In my experience it feels like the US is downgraded or really awful on the free preset planes with maybe the exception of the F-4E once you get the medium nuke, but you have some monster options if you have grinded the tech tree, such as the F/A-18s, Tomcats, and especially the funny Iranian Cat and F-15A, while the USSR side barely has any choices for extra vehicles to bring if you have grinded that tech tree, such as the MiG-29 9-13, which can be amazing if used well, or the Yak-141, but you get, honestly, the better free preset planes in the form of the MiG-23, which dominates the F-4Es because of the missile kit and ability to lock at low altitude and carry the small nuke and be effective with it, and the SU-24M is really solid with the medium nuke. That could explain the really weird balancing on the presets and aircraft you can bring, but it makes me wonder, why make it so dependent on how many people on your team have fully grinded the tech trees? I’ve had my best experience with the USSR side, but I’m not going to ignore that the Iranian Tomcat is a beast paired often with the F-15A.

I got one shot by a bradley from 3km away

Shame the B-52H doesn’t have GMTI like it’s supposed to (not that it’d be useful but it’s still nice). Honestly, this is the only real inaccuracy with this plane as far as I can tell.

bruh

I really hope to use the J-8 H in this mode, especially yesterday was an important day for the J-8 H

I dont thing they will add more plane or nation

Depends, watching teammates collapses like paper and giving air dominance isn’t fun.

Regular ARB user are fine enough to evade Fakour unless those are comes from multiple direction
But this is event mode which includes non-regular-users Which only are having MiG-23ML, Su-24, Su-25 preset

So, F-14A IRIAF acts singluarity which throws balance into shitehole.

Playing skill issue card is lame.
I told you that ‘F-14A IRIAF is breaking balance’ not telling ‘I cannot fight against F-14A IRIAF’…

F-14A IRIAF also does, not because it is generally OP (no, it is one trick pony which relys on fakour drastically, F-15A is generally better), because of special situation of this event mode.

Also, for whatever reason the 9L can lock the Tu-95M from absurdly long range. Like literally 10 km all aspect.

Perhaps if they introduce this mode permanently because it genuinely gives a reason to use that type of aircraft, who knows they can make maps where there’s a bunch of ships on each side and it’s an objective to take them out giving a very good reason to use the other aircraft that come with anti ship missiles too, I see a lot of potential on this game mode honeslty
