Nuclear Thunder!

If they won’t get rid of the ability to let people bring other vehicles, at least add other nations to the mix

I wanna use my JH-7, my Mirage F1C, my Tornados and my Harrier GR.7

Also it’d be great if Gaijin gave us a quick and dirty F-4G for this mode. Need the more advanced electronics to direct the HARMs better.

I don’t think they have any code beyond letting you launch them yet lol

USSR is better.
Mig-29 9.13 has functioning TWS and R-27ERs.
Which makes speedrunning the nuke far easier than with American options.
Namely the only American option that can match its pace are F-15A and F-18A, and F-18A & F-14 TWS is bugged, at least for those matches.

The exclusive loss as Soviets was because B52 wasn’t intercepted in time.

Holy F~ a Rank VI for only 7700 SCORE??? I’m shocked! It’s a unique vehicle at that too!

Well, if only everyone had access to those planes…

It’s more difficult than 30,000 on standard tasks as PVP is the only real way to get score fast.

that doesn’t work when there more than one of them.

F-4G just has a jamming pod so that’ll be something they can copypasta from the heavy bombers over.

Translation: holy f- useless giant rp pinata which wont have any chance to gain altitute in both grb and arb. Its not unique at being dogwater too!

I really dont understand how people can be so happy about another bomber which just doesnt work in wt and suffers

Can we get actual reasonable BR brackets for this?

12.0-11.0 F4, MiG-23 and strike aircraft

12.7-13.7 4th gen multi role jets

I think you should change all Ground Vehicles to Anti-Air, just to be sure we can’t play at all :D !

Literally just remove non-preset planes

…ok…how would u suggest u get B-52 then? Like which vehicle and which strategies? I was gonna just play the B-52 to get the B-52. Should I something different?

Mig-29 vs. this free Phantom…pointless.

It could have been a cool event, but right now it’s more of a pain than anything else
It’s completely unsuitable for players and gives a clear, undeniable advantage to those who have Premium accounts or have completed—or are close to completing—the ground vehicle trees,
compared to beginners or players who haven’t progressed far in the air vehicle trees.
To create some semblance of fairness, wouldn’t it have been better to impose only the aircraft (and their payloads) instead of giving players free choice? Just like all previous April Fools’ Day events
A real disadvantage for those playing with the provided aircraft, as they offer no improvements whatsoever + air-to-air missiles that are completely ineffective/useless against the rest of the enemy fleet (especially top-tier and premium aircraft) with their latest-generation missiles + countermeasures + speed + experience
Not to mention the constant and massive loss of progress for this type of player.
All of this greatly spoils the fun of playing and the ability to enjoy this event even a little (for beginners/intermediate players or those using the provided vehicles).
Not to mention the repeated deaths caused by anti-air vehicles, the M3 Bradley, and so on for players using the provided vehicles
Is there a plan to rebalance the event?

Same goes for sitting in a MiG-23 and having to deal with F-14s and F-15s

Letting people bring their own planes was a terrible decision

To get it as fast as possible, PVP.
F-18A seems to be the best overall option, F-15A is probably as good.

If you run CAS, A-10C is the best option, but slow.
On the USA side, you have the 30kt nuke F-4E, which is the best option for fuel depots, and that grants good score, but does set you back 500 on progression.
It however is significantly faster to use than the 250 cost F-4E.

idk man I finished my bear tasks in a match in a half with just the su25t and su24. Score roles in pretty quick once the nukes start flying

The joke is that the mode, aside from some rough edges, is far more enjoyable than normal air…
