Nuclear Thunder!

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.

? No problem flaring R-60s and rolling away.
I don’t really see an inmunity from flares, perhaps only R-24 but that’s it

It should not be able to lock through a mountain, and yet I’ve had BUK/Roland/OSA lock me through mountains and lately I’ve died to Roland missiles that phase through mountains. Missile clearly blows up against the trees and I dip behind the hill only to die from an invisible missile from the same Roland I was dodging.

RWR Deadzone isn’t a thing when its locking me from only slightly above the aircraft and not 70 degrees above me.

When will the OSA spam and fire on the move and lock through trees and not using search radar and intercepting everything including sidewinders and etc. end?

I would also like to suggest modifying this event to fit world war 2 aircraft.
The reason being is that ww2 got left behind for no good reason. This sort of deep strike game mode with big bombs replacing the small and medium-sized nukes would work well, and it would hopefully pull the ww2 part of the game out of the beginner’s swamp.

Too many events are focused solely on modern jets. And this gamemode would finally facilitate ground attackers, unlike Air RB and AB, while also giving an important role to bombers. Bomber escorting would also become an actual thing people do, as bombers would play an important role in destroying the industrial plants and AA sites.

Map size and spawn types/locations would have to be adjusted ofc

Dodge cracked AI AA then the MBT will dome you with its 2 sec gun traverse speed vs mac 1.
Fly above trees- not really as 30 M trees are still 50 M- which ones? Random so even more fun.
R60s are now straight up RNG
Spawn in “NEW” game- get nuked 5 seconds later

Rewards should never be locked behind a random event ever again. Its torture

I had taken the freshly stock F-15A out and completely spaded it only in this event. It doesn’t record the stats for me.

Playing this event has no consequences on your personal service records. You can go suicidal, head-on jousting at the center of the map and collect kills in the process. Rinse and repeat.

MiG-29, on the other hand, is cracked in this event by doing exactly the same thing.

Oh, and you cannot farm kills to unlock your aircraft camouflages, unfortunately.

Should add account bans to punish players for devs mistake

Could be also attributed that S-300 have a better coverage (for airbases)

S-300s are on higher elevations so their radars can see more. A lot of the US systems are in valleys and depressions which limit their effectiveness.
