Nuclear Thunder!

will not FOR NOW.

ECM is logical and it will appear ingame at certain point.

(A-6, my beloved, will finally survive and be useful in GRB)

You need to remove them to free up space in the map center for dogfighting. Fly low and gun the OSAs. Its be best way to get rid of them. Alternatively advancing NPCs also seem to engage enemy ground units, including SPAAs. The longer the match, the bigger AA free PVP zone gets.

Kinda hard to get close if they shop down every AGM launched at then

Can the small nuke destroy a enemy base right?

You might have to drop more than 1

5kt no but the 30kt can

5kt takes 3/4 to destroy a base,30kt takes one, the main base in the rear takes alot of 30kt or just the one from TU-95/B52H

Does anyone else have a problem with the music not playing all
The time?

Thus the logic of using nukes with CCRP.

5kt nuke clears out enemy SPAA like a charm.

Spawn in, swap to bomb.

Click map with SPAA

Take off.

Afterburner towards SPAA.

Toggle automatic release

At about 20km, hold down secondary weapon release button.

Pull UP in a parabolic arc-ish.

Once nuke releases, dive down to deck,

RTB

Land

Rearm

Repeat.

SPAA = irrelevant.

and someone know how many point you get by destroying a base?

Some feedback after getting the first task for both nations:

USA: The given planes feel like they lack compared to the USSR ones, suggestion:
A-10A - A10C: It’s roughly comparable to the SU-25T that the Russians get with Air to Air capability and air to ground loadout
A-7 - F-111C: This would give a faster dedicated ground strike option with a larger nuclear option. More survivable but less multi-role than the F-4. This feels needed as the Russian air defense feels more capable than the US currently.

Russia: Allow the Su-27 and Su-33. The air to air component feels lackluster for Russia compared to the US.

Overall, the balance feels close, I’m about 50% win rate for both sides.

This is also the most fun I’ve had in a while!

How do I get a nuke if i cant kill? (Genuinely a first 5 minute problem)

like 200

I just fly head-on towards enemy fighters with all-aspect IR and fish for kills in the middle with MIG-23MLD or the phantom.

Might take a few respawns, but it’s self sustaining afterwards unless you’re unlucky and someone shoots you down after getting the nuke.

Nah i get it. I’m speculating, based on previous 1st apr events, when Snail was testing mechanics (or literally T-90 vs Abrams, yes. Rank 10, I remember, hehe)

So far, we saw:

  1. Dynamic loadouts - limitation, based on game situation (Escalation timer)
  2. ECM (I wasn’t on the receiving end of it, so can’t say much)
  3. Mega map (Will be added to the game, just like Atomic Thunder map)
  4. Ground force “director” - have you noticed, that ground units are actually doing something, not just static for bombing
  5. ARMs

We might see an ASB rework, based on this event too.

THE HOPE IS REAL

ah, I expected more, like 500

The Su-25SM3 is already banned

Now Russia have the Tu-95 and America have the B-52, Britain should have have the Vulcan, and other nations should get their own bombers too!

This is not a good sign.
