Nuclear Thunder!

Its enough to finish a star in ~2 games. This event is the best thing to happen to WT air coupled with the most generous vehicle event gaijin has ever added to the game and people are genuinely complaining about it, and I can’t figure out why.

The event is fun, the score requirement for the vehicles is basically nothing (previous score events have been 30k or even 40k score), and gaijin is actually pushing themselves and putting effort into the game, and people are still complaining?

I get some of the complaints because the AA can be very annoying, but its still way easier than most WT events because you can actually get the star in 1-2 games, had this been another ARB/GRB event everyone would have to play a billion matches to get the stars.
Overall the message to get from this and some of the complaints is that thank god the people here aren’t responsible for “balancing” the event because we’d just end up with ARB 2

I dont fault people for fair or constructive criticism, but the majority of what I’ve read today has just been straight up whining.

Revert 80% of the changes and remove the MiG-29 9-13 and F-15A and this mode is absolutely perfect. No reason high capacity IRCCM slingers should be in this event.

play the lower bracket

Just do SEAD like this:

Easy and quick to learn, and its fun and gives decent score, so you should still easily get your event planes :)

They did, people were just suicide rushing down the middle to rush the strat nukes to win. It was a horrible gameplay loop.

They don’t need nerfs (besides doubling depot respawn times maybe), people largely just dont know how to handle them yet.

@イリアス here’s a clip of me doing the same thing in the Frogfoot, since you we’re wondering how it plays for SEAD:

well, the russian ones will track through the ground while usa ones wont, I have video proof of that.

Mode is RIP

no

I don’t play lower tier WT sorry

so the event is dead and dogshit because you don’t want to play it? really?

Look at the bigger picture. Too much silver was being made. The fun is over

Show me where I said the gamemode is dead or bad. This is the most fun Ive ever had in WT in the last 4 years. Don’t assume.

One thing is for sure there needs to be a max load indicator with loadouts. The US needs AWACS or better Anti-Air. Because US defense SPAAs are a joke.

look at the bigger picture, too much score was being made in just pvp, and now its equal across pve and pvp
you are telling me to look at the bigger picture while only looking at the picture of sl rewards for pvp in this event.

revert 80% of the game is usually not a way to explain you are extremely happy with the game.

I appreciate the reply, but a majority of players don’t understand how to do this besides doing PvP kills like me. On the other hand, I have tried this and 75% of the time the SAMS actually target any type of armament you throw at them (anti-radar, TV, & laser guided missiles, etc.)

80% of the changes that just happened dude. Not the entire event. The SPAA buffs and Air Combat Nerfs. That stuff.

the air combat nerf stays, that addresses the core issue they were trying to fix by buffing the spaa, the spaa can be nerfed.
also that is 2 things, not 80% of the changes

The SAM’s focus the first target to enter their engagement range. You have to enter, bait the shot, fire back, then pull away (but dont break LOS). That way they never intercept your stuff (unless there are more SAMs at the position). Thats what I was showing in the clips :)

NEW NERF MAKES EVENT UNPLAYABLE!!!

Moving the fighting airfields back creating an extra 2+ minutes of fly in but everyone is dead by AA by the time you get there because the long fly in?
This is anti player base and pro making grind harder.

Low points for air kills???
Yet can’t get near groundies due to OP AA?
Higher nuke cost making it even more nerfed?

Anytime I launch at groundies AA takes out all my munitions anyways.

FIX THE GAME OR ADMIT YOU HATE PLAYERS.
