Nuclear Thunder!

I have noticed that BUK M3s can target aircraft behind terrain, not necessarily with radar but it launches it’s missiles in a vertial traijectory that are able to target you cause of their ARH nature despite not aquiring them on their radars first, is there a bug report on it yet?

PS. I wanna suggest that the A6 TRAM gets replaced by the F-111C, as the former is absolutely and completely unusable with the way the air defenses function right now and the general intensity of the scenario.

I have been getting into high tier matches instantly from US team now. The longest i had to wait recently was like 5 min

going on 1 hour rn

Maybe I am just getting lucky.

So I just had an interesting encounter.

I nuked base 1 (the forward middle base) in the later stages of our match and to my surprise both teams got upset with me in chat.

Almost like they wanted the furball. I told them all to PTFO but was met with distain.

Clearly the rewards need to be adjusted, if this game mode is to evolve into what we’ve all been praying far Gaijin will need to think about how they incentivise teamwork and objective based gameplay.

Great event though, first time I’ve played war thunder all year. Because well let’s be real ARB is a toxic mess.

Their anger is unwarranted but the bases themselves I feel are not protected enough by Short range SPAA, often times I find the airbases getting camped and rushed by suicidal Mig-23s just for the chance to snag someone on the runway, which I feel is a braindead strategy just to rush to nukes.

Remove ur F-15A and F-18 then you join in 0.1 sec.

they are the only thing that is capable of countering the mig-29 (9-13) reliably, and even then it has a 7/10 chance of winning

Another one go read the thread above for your answer but drop to BR 1 planes

You will never meet the Mig-29 if you remove those 2 planes.

Oh I agree, but the F-4E is better than the MiG-23MLD in speed, and armament, which I would have to say is well balanced.

Atleast it’s more fragile. But yeah it’s a problem too.

That’s not how this works bud

Absolutely not. It will cost the Su-24M 60M of fuel from Main airfield to Enemy Main airfield and return in full Afterburner. The MiG-23M can reach there but it’s going to turn in to an suicide mission…

I honestly prefer the center forward airfield’s existence precisely because it frees up the flanks for nuke carriers and ground attackers.
Its not a bad idea to accommodate PVP in the center and make the life of PVE easier on the flanks

It’s still too slow, and the game ends when it reaches the enemy main airfield, and I doubt that it can even return to the main airfield it took off from.

it is tho, if you remove the su24 then soviets would have a 30kt carrier… and if you add a 30kt carrier equivalent to the su 24 or arguably better then there is no reason for the f4e to retain it either.

The whole gamemode is based on asymmetry and the main point of the post was to add the F-111, not to remove anything. It would be much better for the gamemode to just add the F-111 than to remove Su-24.

Again if you add the f111 then there is no reason for the f4e to keep the 30kt nuke.

I get tons of kills against low flying mig-23s with ~25km launches from the F-4S
