Nuclear Thunder!

They need to allow spawn points to escort nuke plane over enemies final base. Camping for B52s to TUs is too easy. Wipe out all airfield, wipe out all Patriots or S300s unlock escorting B52 or TU planes to their final destination.

Same way you avoid the Roland’s.

Rename the event to “Worsen your F-15 stats”

the team kills costing us players 22,000+ lions because are aim 9 sidewinder lost track and killed a freindly when you are hot in combat almost screwed me out of all my lions today

i think i lost 68,000+ lions because 3 of my sidewinders when aimed at a target KILL A FREINDLY AFTER IT RELOCKED As WELL AS THE RUSSIAN STUFF FEELS LIKE IT IS A GENERATION HIGHER THEN THE US RENTAL WE HAVE

HO AND ADD THAT US PAYING 2,000+ lions on any of the rental aircraft so we can just get up and shot down again makes it hard for me at least to continue playing nuclear thunder even though i want the b-52h baddly i still want to be able to SHOT STUFF BECAUSE IT IS HARD COMING FROM PROPS TO JETS AND THEN IT COSTING ME 2,000+ lions to just go up and get shot out and 2,000+ more again because of not owning any of the jets

I think whenever you play f4e game should put advertisement of f4s

Add the F-111F default to the nuclear event. F-4E is not an ideal competitor against the MiG-23MLD.

If your f15 stats are going down in this event… I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you

Isn’t it frustrating? You are just going to have to learn, those were avoidable.
In sim battles the 22k would’ve been 66-100k 🥴 you learn real quick there

If gaijin doesn’t want to make AA deny high altitude, the solution to balance this gamemode is:

1-Remove external planes
2-Find a Russian aircraft that the F-4E has equal footing at lower altitudes, since bringing a more advanced F-4 ends in complete massacre for Russia and without them is a massacre for US. Because “AIM-9L better than R-60!” while they ignore the Mig-23 can use the R-24, a better missile than the AIM-9L and which 2 of them are more valuable in the scenario Nuclear thunder pushes than AIM-7s and even then both of these aforementioned IR missiles will eat the first flare they see.

They also pull the argument of F-4E being a better nuke carrier, it has to be, Since it needs to cover the SU-24’s and Mig-23’s roles because F-4E is the only supersonic US recieves in the free preset.

Both sides are victims of people bringing external aircraft to club newbies on free presets.
First it was US with F-14s, F-15s yada yada.

BRs were split, and now apparently one side needs to club the other on 1 BR bracket and viceversa (USSR on lowr bracket and US on higher Bracket). Just remove external aircraft, because they were 500% not tested and done.

You can’t play your X plane? cry about it, maybe actually try to outplay your opponents, its not like everyone has 500k hours on WT, is free event, where even someone who barely is past rank I can play.

Are stats from this event even displayed on your account?

pardon how is it my bad that my sidwinder shot my own down after it lost target on a mig that is teir 8

agreed and make it where after a aim 9 losses it track and team kills a player it don’t cost 22,000 lions because it killed someone even though you don’t lock on them

True that.

Also, I just noticed that the fab-5000 from the tu-95 is different than the fab-5000 from the pe-8, the tu-95’s is worse, you can look at the stats, but at least you get two

No, it doesn’t.

  • Noticable amount of invisible missile hits from flarakrads
  • Had a gepard engage me while making no sound, nor did the tracers appear on my screen. (Grid C7 patriot battery site)
  • Anti-radiation missiles feel more useful now. it might be just that im engaging at around 10km but most of the missiles are not intercepted by flaraks and OSAs…

I saw some people complain about the center forward airfields and the center map PVE zone. My opinion on that:

  • it is good design that pure PvP is facilitated in the center, freeing up the flanks for ground attackers.
  • even after destroying the forward center airfield of the enemy, the PvP-focused players continue to take the shortest route to the active main enemy airfield, thus creating the same effect.
  • Incentivising ARM usage and general ground attack by improving this aspect of the event would work better than removing airfields.

I could see the planes being a Mig-21bis and F-4E equipped with Aim-7E (not E-2s), and maybe just limited to Aim-9Js. A Mig-23M is completely unviable because it has 12 cms and no ACM (and garbage R-23s), but an ML or MLD without R-24s could also work.

They could add an F-111F, but it would only work if it gets a nerfed loadout, since it is considerably better than the Su-24 in several ways.

100% agreed. This would also increase queue times since the US side wouldn’t have a ton of players playing high bracket planes.

I’d say ARMs need to find a way to fly into their targets without needing for your plane to shake their butt in front of the AA so it doesn’t intercept your missiles.

Why cant R60s even be pre-flared from head on in nuke mode? The RNG needs to stay with ground

R60s

Adding it would could also see the removal of the big nuke on the F-4E, making them more similar to the MIG-21 due not now not having to carry the responsibilites of 2 supersonics and dedicate itself into 1 role.
