Nuclear Thunder!

I managed to get 4 kills in a crappy F-4E with my gun, since they flare every sidewinder.

Still not enough to spawn even the small nuke. I just wish the grind to end. Nuke mode without Nukes is meh.

great event ruined

9 kills to get a mid nuke. fly all the way down coast, cut in and the AI long range spam = death no matter what u do.

The AI has been cranked up to protect the snails silver levels

Lol my comment just disappeared

I get what the devs we’re trying to do, i honestly do,i can’t blame them.

But this puts the spotlight on another big issue that was shadowed by the fact that everybody enjoyed the mid gank up fights .

Now the fact is, that SAMs and AA and light tanks are overpowered and their missiles are unfun to play against. The convoys that lock you immediately ,while moving through a forest/jungle at 75km/h and still manage to lock you perfectly, isn’t fun.

Mobile SAMs in convoys should be replaced with SPAAGs, such as the ZSU-23-4M4 and the Gepard 1A4. The OSA and FlaRakPz should stay in the emplaced positions they already occupy.

It’s a strange choice to have SAM systems that cannot fire on the move in these positions, giving convoys AA with short range IR missiles would make them able to defend themselves without ganking players trying to fight one another in the air

R-73s are more frustrating imo. 90% of my deaths are bots who just mulitpath and shotgun spam them off with no counterplay the entire game. It takes zero skill and feels really cheap to die to.

Yeah, this was another really annoying non-sensical thing. AA that can’t fire on the move like the flakrad, are deployed in convoys or just moving on their own on the map and firing on the move. At least gepards and ZSUs you can dodge because they have easily flareable IR missiles, but the former makes no sense.

Its more than meh given you need nukes to do cas
For real this time not just the top tier pantsir experience

Are the SL earns cut in half?
First time, and after 1h45 of play, i got 0 SL at the end of the match. And this without teamkills.

PS

Maybe it’s because i didn’t get air kills.

making an awesome event ass is so retarded of gaijin, i feel more frustrated than when the bmpt was added
anyways customer is king so we have the power to change something, dont forget that

F-4S and J players still rack up 20+ kills. Sigh…

They would also be less effective at intercepting air to ground munitions which would be much more conducive to actually being able to meaningfully effect the ground battles from the air.

Not even if the enemy has taken their multi path lesson

I am almost thinking about removing gun and missiles and just go in clean

I just wanna thank the guy who censored my comment. The truth seems to hurt a lot.

I’m sitting here wondering, how you can only damage 8 ground targets in an hour.
When it should look like this at least, the 1 player kill is a guy who flew into my nuke.
I used AGM-88s to kill OSAs until I had enough for the 3kt nuke, I think next I’ll use AGM-88s until I have enough for the 30kt nuke.

Anyone know if the anti-air around the airfields respawn plz?

50k SL for one hour of playtime with decent performance is crazy low.

let’s reduce air rewards 450 to 150 & increase ground rewards 50 to 100, fill half of the map with f… sams with 100% accuracy. That game potential wastes in hands of bunch of i****s

Well I tried to grind NPC. So I spawned the A10…wasted 5+mins to reach the frontline with like 600km/h. First enemy SPAA NPC were on the other side of the hill. I flew up the slope and prepared my Mavericks. Suddenly exploded midair…OSA… Somehow must have fired from the other side of the hill or from farther away…dunno. Its just not possible for me to do this. All this wasted time, just to get nuked by an NPC…I don’t even know from where. From my POV I had no line of sight.

Also palm trees are too high and too dense. Almost always you don’t even see anything when flying low above the ground. Its just so bad.
