Nuclear Thunder!

Thank you ruining almost everything that was fun about the event, without truly addressing how broken the OSA/FlaRak have been during this event. Instead it was the ‘airfield camping’ that was super rare, and people getting strategic nuke ‘too fast’ that was the problem.

Clearly, you guys just hate when people are enjoying the event. Can’t have too much fun, right? The rewards were definitely the problem, right?

It truly does amaze me, how you guys can see majority of the player base having fun, and decide lets just ruin it without addressing anything.

Hey, i just saw that now it is almost impossible to dodge the OSA AKM missiles, i mean, i fly low, i spam chaff and flares and even like that ut hits me, the only way im having to survive is destroy her missiles with my gun or with an aim9L is that normal? I mean, the OSA is not that good in real matchs idk why is that op now, when the event started it wasnt tbis op im sure about that

Its a scripted death, which probably explains why you don’t get any score when you die to an OSA/FlaRak.

Ohh… Atleast,tomorrow is the last phase, im not playing this mode never in my life again i think i miss old ARB ngl

Yeah, they have a 6th one for extra mods, but I’m not GEing or playing it. I’m assuming after tomorrow, the player count will drop by a lot for it.

If they don’t revert the last changes tomorrow a lot won’t play as well, I won’t for sure. It would be good if tomorrow NOBODY will, so they maybe understand, but I highly doubt that will happen.

Go watch Hunter’s video on using them. The tldw of it is you wait for the OSA/Flarak to shoot at you, then lock and fire your harm at them and turn away without flaring. Let it chase you and your missile will kill them before theirs hits you, where it will then lose lock and you can pull away. It’s a slow process.

The better way to take them out is to just kill a few planes and then get the mini nuke and hit the spaa zones with them.

Im 100 % certain instead of nerfing the osa akms THEY buffed the flakrads in the newst “Fix” patch,
As before the patch you could actually flare and dodge flakrads with reasonable effort but NOOOO Instead of NERFIng the osa akms NO LETS MAKE THE FLAKRADS JUST AS BAD RIGHT? like please some1 tell im not the only who noticed this patch??

Well, this for sure is the most controversial april fools i ever saw in war thunder. First the US air supremacy, now USSR air supremacy, the totally op AAA’s imposible to dodge, the really long queues, the times when u get in a started match that will finish in 2-3 minutes and u gotta find for another one. Yep, i really miss the WW1 april fools.

Anyways, like I’ve said before. Our feedback doesn’t matter. Gaijin will do whatever they want. Its like they genuinely hate fun.

It’s not just you. And the HAWK’s are much better now too. Extremely oppressive.

Getting killed by AA gives you no score points, today a good 80% of my deaths was because of spaa’s. i don’t even care anymore about those 2 bombers.

An event that should be for fun (and testing) turning into an unplayable nightmare. got enough of those crap behaviors. They can have my finger from now on.

This turned into a blatant moneygrab today with the update. I’m forced to GE both fifth stars. There was absolutely no reason to raise the SP reguired for the nukes.

They wanted us to do CAS and raised the nuke cost and buffed the SPAA.
