Nuclear Thunder!

Sadly that would only increase the workload for the last star

I have no plans to spend ge on this
I already spend millions of SL on this event

F4j from stock to almost spaded(useless now)
F15a expert crew(totally worthless given its impossible to find a match with it)

I dont think i have seen a single big nuke today

It’s painfully on brand for actual changes in the right direction to be delivered just off mark enough to genuinely make the experience worse.

Its the usual one step forward and one two steps back deal

They could just have increased the cas reward’s and increased the bomb spawn points but nope they had to cut the kill reward in half.

So ofc people won’t shower gaijin in flowers

I can understand people taking issue with some of the changes (even if I disagree and think the majority of todays changes were positive, barring the slight compression of the frontline for seemingly no reason, but people aren’t offering nuanced takes, they’re acting like todays changes are the end of the world, that the entire mode is ruined and not worth playing anymore, that AA is literally impossible to destroy or play around, etc…

Ngl, im suffering the US phase a lil bit too much, i cant use my aim7’s now every russian is using a full load of flares to spam them because they know already phantom can just use the aim9 in this event, i cant get close to the bases because of the AAA’s idk what to do im just getting around 700-1000 points per match and every match is 1 hour, i cant even use agm’s or anti radiation missiles because the AAA’s are so op now that they intercept all of them

Well, at least I had the chance to spade the F-15 (and researched a bit the pobit) even though… finding a match in that one it was pretty hard. I was tempted to use F4, but stock grind in the event? No thanks. Especially cause I hate phantoms as hell

Obviously its not the end, but today changes were for sure a total mistake, they should put the AAA’s like they were in day one

Day 1 AA were a joke, they were barely a threat to people that werent paying attention to them and could basically be ignored by people who were. They’re in a good place rn in terms of capability. They punish mistakes, but can be handled if attacked correctly.

I still stand on the fact that to REALLY “fix” the AA situation, they should increase the number of static non-respawning AA positions, and double the depot respawn time. That way AA remains actually fun to engage with, and punishing to mistakes, but genuine “holes” can be created and expanded in the frontline.

Till you find out that harms aren’t locking fast enough each time, for OSAs never have there search radar on before they launch at you, putting yourself too close to the OSA before pulling away.

Just launch 6 mavs and watch it intercept 4.
5 or all if you don’t sacrifice yourself.

There is not really much play around either

Everything is on the move
So bombs are out
Laser is also out given they take forever to land and you can’t really fly defensive while launching them

So the only good thing left are TV and ir guided stuff
Both Russia and the us have only a very limited number of those (3 kh29 on the su24 and 2/6 agm65 were only the large dual config is reliable)

And arm seams to be worthless and is on worthless platforms does the su24 and f4e carry arm?.
I am only sure about su25 and a7 and those are painfully slow so you get intercepted or clapped by an s300/hawk before getting into range

Unless you have the premium f18 or av8b
Which gives you 4 big agm65

Bro, i just launched 3 agm’s at a OSA, it destroyed the 3agm’s i went to the floor and spamed flares and chaff and even like that it tracked and killed me ;-;

bro these spaas are moving like prime king von bro i fly 10m off the ground and if i move 1m above i get turn into chunky salsa bro

Yep, quite true

Rewards of RP and SL also have been nerfed with a huge amount.

I played for an hour (56 minutes), with F-15 researching F-16Pobit. Have premium account and had a 180%!!! (150%+50%) booster active. Made 15 air-to-air kills in those 56 minutes, nuked some ground targets. Over 3000 mission score

Got 28k RP towards the F-16Pobit, and 140k SL.

28k RP and 140k for a good game of 56 minutes!!! With premium account and boosters…

I thought the first day of this event that the rewards in this game mode were actually decent. But now they’re almost nothing?

its so fun getting killed 10 times per match by an osa or roland! Thanks for making such an incredibly bad event!

Yeah 9L is really good
