Nuclear Thunder!

Honestly this year is way too grindy. Mission points has been nerfed and mission points increased as well. Last year it was only 5000 and I don’t think there were any nerfs in mission points. Furthermore, this year’s respawns cost money so it’s actually stressful.

Overall, fun event but still a bit high cortisol lol. But definitely would want to keep this event! :)

One last question, what preset aircraft do you recommend (both US and USSR)? Do all of them get CCRP?

honestly it depends, best practice is after 5-15 minutes just restart the queue

For me USA was pretty fast but most of the time was an already started game.

I’ll keep that in my mind for tomorrow and hopefully it works because I couldn’t play US at all right after getting the first US Task done, it all have been USSR games lol

Looks like these WILL count as “Event Vehicles”. What that means as far as the “Event Schedule” I have no idea:

Are these going to be marketplace purchasable vehicles?

I get both fresh and already started matches on the USSR, basically the second I start looking for a match it immediately places me on one while on the US I waited for 30 minutes with no results both with NA and EU servers active, it’s impressive in a way hahaha

i dont believe so, as theres no way to currently make them sellable.

I think the answer is a definitive NO. There is NO upgrade task to upgrade the coupon to a tradable coupon that can be sold on the marketplace.

The ONLY other time these MIGHT be obtainable is through the SL Crate events. And only ONE of the SL events per year, of the 4 total. So very slim chance to actually obtain these ever again.

If you or anyone else is even slightly interested in these planes, I would strongly suggest grinding them NOW while you can. And/or buying them with GE’s if you want/can’t finish the tasks.

Pretty much like the WW1 Event vehicles

Yeah, but they are still researchable, no?

I think after grinding it you just keep them

NO! They are NOT going to be in the tech tree. This was specifically stated multiple times. They will be this event ONLY.

It isn’t a “researchable” grind like the Maus. This is an event. You can complete the tasks NOW, or effectively NEVER again. (Or like I mentioned the SL crates, but that is a VERY slim to actually get them to drop from the large pool of other possible vehicles from the SL crates.)

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.
