Nuclear Thunder!

This is a very good point actually. Gajin tends to put too much trees on their maps. Also this one. When you approach a sam complex or whatever, every unit is often hidden within dense forests. Makes CAS etc very hard.

It’ll probably be an event they’ll do once every few months. They’ll replace the nukes with normal base bombing and then it’ll end up being exactly like air RB. Then people will stop playing it and Gaijin will stop running the event because nobody is playing it.

Joined 6 games. Every game nearly ended. not even just started 20 mins ago. Last game nuked on runway first spawn.

Game mode isnt fun at all and saying its just rough is a massive understatement. I need some of what yall are smoking

Your best hope is contacting the CEO Gabe from steam and begging he talk to Gajin else, you will need to GE

Remove OSA’s and Flakrad for the remainder of this event, or severely limit them. Cannot even express how much they’re single-handedly ruining it.

Now I actually get the start of the game and its crew locked my f4. You cant make it up.

Snail wins. Game mode is just 100% waste of time slop. Il just GE the rewards.

@Stona_WT Why are you merging extremely specific questions such as how radars work etc into this giga thread?

Pretty much everything is very poorly added.

Ground vehicles often go underground or start floating. They also don’t follow roads correct, get stuck on trees and rocks, and occasionally teleport a few metres.

Armoured vehicle depots produce self propelled artillery that usually doesn’t move away, leading to huge groups of artillery around a single depot.

The depots don’t show their capacity properly. At the start of the game, each armoured vehicle depot will show a certain percentage of capacity at around 30% and this will never increase or decrease despite producing vehicles or taking on fuel and ammo from lorries. Once nuked, it will be reset to 0% capacity but this has no effect either.

The air defence do have their radars deployed if you look at the sensor mode in the replay. However the animations are really bugged and often show them either retracted or in the process of being retracted.

The tactical ballistic missiles Gaijin said has cluster munitions doesn’t actually do anything. It hits the ground and does nothing, not even any explosions.

Quite often, the AN/TPS 59 and Nebo radars become undestructable. So amount of guns, rockets, or bombs will destroy them.

The game mode technically only runs for 15 minutes despite usually going on for an hour. Meaning the replay only catches the first 15 minutes of gameplay.

Gaijin even forgot to add air defence to the American main airfield.

OSA is a real hindrance for this game mode. Why can’t you just remove them?

Its made me hate the game so Il just stop

No excuse for 50 M trees that look 30M
No excuse for having dont join already started game and 9/10 are nearly finished
No excuse for crew locking my vic when i get nuked off the runway 1 min after joining and leave

I get bugs and the rest but this isnt that

Just rammed another 100m tree. Remove them too. Remove most of the super dense and high forests. Its not fun.

Not just the Osa, but the Shilka, FlaRakPz, Gepard, Bradley, BMP and maybe the Strela all deal scripted damage. If you’re in range, you will die for supposedly no reason.

Dont forget MBTs sniping the jet going mac 1

I’ve never been killed by a tank. But now I should test it.

Also I wonder if air defence can even intercept the tactical ballistic missiles.

cracked AI

BMP2 gunning down jets, too. The whole NPC side of the mode needs to go. Its too strong.

The F-4S and Mig-29 are the best jets in the event.

I don’t have this issue. I just multipath to 50m.

Then the trees kill you

I know they enabled the joining of in progress battles to ease queue times, but that needs to be disabled for a battle when one team is down to their Main Airfield. It is EXTREMELY annoying to join a match that’s going to be over in 5 mins knowing you can do nothing (either joining the winning team and having nothing to do or the losing team knowing nothing you do will make a difference).

Also I just had a bug where I was permanently bugged in weapon selection (That randomly turns itself on in this mode despite me not pressing the hotkeys for it) and I legit could not take off. My game then froze and crashed to desktop after the UI vanished.
