Nuclear Thunder!

Why is USSR restricted but USA effectively isn’t?

Su-27/33 not allowed but the F-15A and all F-14s are able to be played because they’re <=13.0 (with the latter all having ARH)…

(Im sorry if this was asked before… It just stood out to me just now lol)

Wierd, you do have the nuclear thunder event on your hangarscreen?

Yep, but i try again…

Cuz uhhhhhh, why not

Im pretty sure its bc of tge r27ER again with su27/33 being able to carry way to many so gajijn seeing that as a problem

just spent 2 hours dying before being able to drop a single nuke hell yeah
legit waste of time just put the targets in sim and call it a day you lazy assholes

I dont think 7m or even 7p could change smth considering all jets fly low in this mode so your radar simply ignores them and you cant even launch anything

Skill issue lol

Yea alr thats true tho i have seen some people fly little high i was able to kill

either your having bad luck or the F-14’s im fighting are just bad players

the f14s in my games avg 50-70 a2a kills

Cool objectives. The score looks easy, but it is painfull to make points when everything is shoting down my bombs. I dont like the fact that probably there is more score in the event just for doing PVP than taking those objectives.

Yeah I’m having bad players then

Anyone else having issue with getting into the game and stufd

???

Su-27 at least can carry the same amount of R-27ER as AIM-54 for F-14s, Su-33 is the only one that has more. Again, it’s a SARH missile, not ARH. With RWR screaming from every direction, no one can maintain lock for long without dying

Do i get a cookie?

it was fun-ish for 2 games but i dont feel like doing it more today tbh

Ok i finally got back into the game

I have played both US and Soviet now and I gotta say sure the Teen series fighters are powerful, but so is the Yak-141 and MiG-29s, both anti air systems can be a pain in the ass, ARMs do work but the AI being AI insta lock anything that is a missile so you need to launch multiple and from shallow angles. What I found to be the best weapon against AA is just the nukes, using CCRP mark em and lob the bomb.

Yeah the F-4E radar is not the best, but it is a pretty good nuclear strike plane so I just treat it as such.

There is a learning curve to the mode and the reason I see US teams losing is because they keep trying to brute force through the AA instead of going in shallow or from behind a mountain or something.

I will note that the strong AA always stay in the same spot so take note of where the patriots and S300s are because you can use that when you are on the opposite side.
