Nuclear Thunder!

Which makes no sense given the A-10C is allowed.

I don’t get how so many people are calling this mode great. Conceptually it is pretty good, but goddamn is the execution for this event terrible.

People were complaining about Air RB being too much TDM and this is somehow better? Just mindlessly respawning over and over again to fly at each other in the center of the map?
Well, Ground AA essentially keeps you from dogfighting anywhere, but the center of the map, due to them being overtuned af. It all boils down to missile spam and die, repeat - because who cares about reserving your resources when you can respawn 10 seconds after dying?

To top it all of, anyone who doesn’t have vehicles at BR 13 for these nations gets shafted so hard it’s genuinely impressive they somehow thought this was ok to release as it is. Absolute banger of an April Fools event.

At least last year everyone received the same vehicles to play their grind mode, but not this time.
Next year we’ll have to buy a premium pass to even access the event.

this happens basically every time theres a ground event but in reverse with everyone queing USSR, its been like that for years.
the moment its the inverse and everyone wants to play US its a issue.

And Kh-38T wouldn’t be as dangerous, because of angry Rolands

I can contest to that, just wish we had proper lofting mechanics (I.e it told you when to pull up and by how much)

Can we get NWS for every other plane that have it now? Given the B-52 have it working and it allows me to taxi around the airfield without any problem.

oh also a message to those that says “Muh Russia side is weak”, you have the Mig-23MLD with its PD radar inside the roster against the F-4E which doesn’t have a PD radar and has the 7E as its best missile against the R-24R. So please, don’t be annoying

MiG-23MLD has an AI radar, not PD

You mean there is F-16,F-15 and F-14 against MiG-29 with 2 ERs with virtually unusable blind radar.

I felt like buying the F-18C for USA, but realizing it is 80 euros and its gonna be 50% off in a month, I thought “nah im not falling for your tricks gaijin merchants”.

Them setting this up on purpose like this, discouraged me too from buying a premium airplane.

Also another thing from one of my discords:

They don’t intercept ANY dumb munition.

Meaning, you can use dumbfire rockets (like zunis) + CCIP to hit them from afar. I can’t attest to PERSONALLY trying this, but others cite it as quite effective before you unlock the 5KT nuke.

I would agree with you on F-15 and F-14 but, tell me how a F-16 is better than MIG-29?

Hey @Smin1080p_WT , could you guys let us have the nukes to use in test drives only? They are so cool and it would be awesome to still have them testable.

Default planes are fine.

The issue is that players can take any plane into the mode meaning you get a swarm of F-15s just dominating everything while your Mig-23ML relies on the F-15 being stupid.

We need the mode to restrict to only the pre-set planes and it’d be great.

bs the Mig/23 can track me below him,so it has look down,shoot down cap

Victor would be nicer than Vulcan.

it has an MTI mode for its radar, meaning it can scan stuff even if there is terrain behind them. The radar is AI, MTI, not PD

Better radar, and flight performance.

i say vulcan cause the model already exists as seen in the moments of valor brasil video.

Which still gives the Mig-23MLD a massive advantage over the F-4E given the F-4E cant even use its Aim-7E-2s if the Mig-23 is flying low but the MLD can. On top of that R-24Rs are very potent at short ranges

Then when defending, you cant really defeat the R-24R through chaff alone, but the Mig-23MLD, especially with LCMs, can defeat the Aim-7 really easily through chaff alone
