However strategic bombers in general are coming as they confirmed. So expect more modern and older B-52’s a more modern Tu-95 most likely down the line and so forth.

It’s quick just bomb and once you unlock mini nuke bomb close easy points don’t sweat too much
Again, it is pretty much a “NO”. They stated multiple times, in multiple places that strategic bombers will be Event Vehicles Only.
Unless that changes, or someone can quote different info, expect these types of strategic bombers to be special event vehicles ONLY.
If a Mod or a Community Manager is reading this, and I have any information wrong, please reply and I will correct any errors and edit my reply with a quote from you. Thank you!
Yeah fr. The strategy is just be chill and have some fun lol. Engage in some silly chat conversations. It really helps keep your mood up!
Honestly not a terrible event after you figure out what to do. A good chance to earn SL lol
They will be joining the research tree’s. Nothing here specifying it’s locked to event at all. As why would they mention research tree’s? They would specify just the aircraft tree’s and reference events only if this were true. Hence why all of us are excited.
Perfect, where is that from? Please post link.
Nah, you left out a specific section: “YOUR research tree”

If so they why are we grinding lmao. Gaijin can’t be this mean right? Lol
From yesterday???
“Strategic aviation will change everything”. Clear as day what us bomber mains since 2012/13 have been waiting for is happening.
bomber mode annouced 2 years ago still hasnt happened
That is the April Fool’s post BEFORE the event was posted. That original post on the forums is also locked, with a note to refer to THIS thread.
That thread was literally an April Fools post. The “real” information is at the top of this thread, where again it states clearly that YOU will be able to keep and use these EVENT vehicles after YOU obtain them.
Unless a community manager or dev says otherwise, and like they stated before (I believe in the Q&A video), the strategic bombers will ONLY be event vehicles, and NOT be added to the researchable tech trees.
Lmao. War Thunder ragebaiting players for April Fools.

Does Gaijin have any intention of letting us use the F-117 in this event? I feel like it’s a missed opportunity

I hate playing ARB but this event has actually made me better and enjoy ARB as well. Glad they added and hope they keep it regardless of people complaining to complain.

No, F117 carries 2 bombs and was meant for night time single targets in and out this is more of a F-111F operation

Opposite, Tu-95m is 8.3 and the B-52 is 8.7
You can see both in the hanger now, and test fly both of them. Go to achievements, click on preview. You can see stat card there, and test fly them. NOTE! They might (probably) change before and/or right after they start getting used in matches. Always happens, don’t take any of the stats or BR’s as final information.
Click on your name (profile) at the top of the main menu, then click on the “Achievements” tab at the top, click on “Nuclear Thunder” on the left, click on one of the planes on the right, click “Preview”.
“Test Flight” button will be at the bottom right when you are previewing one of the planes:
Sandman, the F-117A was the first stealth nuclear strike aircraft carrying 2xB61 nuclear bombs.
It’s just very quickly people realised it wasn’t needed and instead did it’s secondary role as a tactical strike aircraft for normal munitions.
So it absolutely is a massive missed opportunity to not have it useable as a nuclear bomber in this event.
