Nuclear Thunder!

If that’s the case, the MiG 23’s need to go since they got MTI.

got a new plane that must be removed everyday?

Add the F-111F for USA

I have had much higher success in performing S/DEAD with the A-7 than Su-25T.

I have a fairly consistent method now, and can almost always get 3 or 4 HARM kills per sortie. Su-25T on the other hand hasn’t been quite as successful for me. I’ll have to try with the 4x ARM loadout on Su-25 since I was using the loadout with AT-16 missiles and two ARMs next time.

This being said, the A-7 is 100% not viable to do literally anything other than throw HARMs around at SA-8 launchers. Too slow to get near the better AA, not enough payload to deal with tank columns and can’t take out bases after knocking down their SAM protection.

People seem complain a lot about this event forgetting this is basically in beta phase.
I’ve never seriously played ARB, AAB on the other hand a lot and somehow I get quite some entertainment playing this event.
People say this US this USSR that, like everyone in the enemy team is an ARB expert, but that is not true at all, I’m one of those ARB newbies that makes a lot of mistakes and I bet there are many like me out there.
I’ve been killed many times in my almost stock F15, F14, F18 or Mig29s to those default planes, even by F4E.
I’d say this event is fun because it’s quite challenging, especially for non ARB players, but it’s exactly as the game should be, to test and train those braincells God gave you!
Good luck out there!

Why can the OSA in nuclear thunder fire while moving? The OSA in the TT can’t even do that!

Was actually referring to the amount of time it takes to get a match for the US. (BR12.3 and up)

Same for the Roland. They can fire on the move just fine in the event…

That’s exactly the key point — this is essentially a beta (or maybe even an alpha). Something like this shouldn’t be a reward-based event. A lot of players are participating mainly to obtain (for now) unique aircraft.

I guess that the April fools.

I believe this is officially the most commented on post in this forum. Shows how much the community is interested in this event

Russia’s SU-24 needs to be removed as a nuke carrier unless the F-111 gets them too. The immense low level capability the SU-24 has over anything the US has is actively the main deciding factor of games and is as big of a problem as the OSAs being disgustingly good. I definitely agree the mode needs to be evaluated further because at the moment the game still plays like the TDM style AirRB but with air defenses and a viable option of contributing to strike and attack jets. But BVR is still dead and the chaos and overwhelming nature is still present. Honestly I think spotting needs a little tuning in this mode too. Maybe give us back the minimap but make spotting outside of 10km client-side only?

Oh and for the love of God make missile RCS lower. This inadvertently helps the R-27ER slingers by cluttering the radar screen and isn’t realistic, especially for RIO equipped jets.

Overall it’s a great mode. 8.5/10 even in its current state.

Trees are radar-transparent ig, this is why they are the true AA

Why did gaijin buff the OSKA-s this much?

Every single game the entire kill feed is OSKA-s absolutely shitting on people. This is a fucking massacre. They are ridiculously overpowered to the point where if you play as USA, you just have to accept that 80% of the time when you die its going to be because of some OSKA that’s going to snipe you from 10 km with no warning while you are multipathing and chaffing and notching and terrain masking etc. They just simply don’t care because apparently Stalin himself is guiding the missiles into your face.

And by the way this is only the OSKA. The S300, the HAWK, the BUK, the Roland, the Flakpanzer1 are all perfectly fine and balanced.
Meanwhile the OSKA operators are smoking some super crack

The FlaRakPz is just like the OSA, I’m not sure if the OSA has a faster missile but both are super accurate and really hard to dodge.

isnt mig23 just a straight up better option

Can we PLEASE somehow prevent the f-4j from entering the lower bracket? its seriously just destroying every lower bracket lobby it gets into. Not only is it frustrating for the russia/ussr to get killed over and over again by the same dude, the people playing USA are also frustrated because we usually the leader board is one guy with 25 kills in his f-4j and the second person has usually 5-10 kills.

in all honesty the lower br bracket should just be 10.3-11.7 instead of up to 12.0, just gives usa a crazy advantage

@Smin1080p_WT

Are there any plans to open up an additional 13.7 - 14.7 bracket? I’m guessing no, but I thought asking wouldn’t hurt. If so, would it involve “default” aircraft with loadouts similar to the ones we have?

IMO, it would finally solve the lack of fighter diversity for USSR (ahem, Flankers being allowed) and USA having usable radars, etc, etc.

will the b52 and tu95 recieve the ability to open cockpit, like opening the little door and stairs. i think i would just be a cool little feature

They will intercept you if you fly low
I have trillion times that i fly low just to let mig23 AcQ successfully and a sudden tall tree hitsme
What!?Gaijin you better shut your game down for that
