Hello everyone!
Currently, the nuclear strike mechanic is restricted to high-tier Ground Realistic/Arcade battles and specific events. I suggest adding a toggle button in the Custom Battle creation menu that allows players to enable or disable nuclear weapons on nuclear-capable aircraft.
Currently, the nuclear strike mechanic is restricted to high-tier Ground Realistic/Arcade battles and specific events. I suggest adding a toggle button in the Custom Battle creation menu that allows players to enable or disable nuclear weapons on nuclear-capable aircraft.
For example, the host of the Custom Battle could choose:
1. Nuke availability: (Off / Point-based / Always available).
2. Spawn cost: If “Point-based” is selected, a slider would allow the host to set the required spawn points or mission score (from 0 to 5000).
3. Unlimited access: If “Always available” is selected, players can spawn with a nuclear bomb at any time, provided they are using an aircraft with such capability.
Why it should be added?
Custom Battles are meant for experimentation, training, and fun. Allowing nukes would help content creators create cinematics and other types of videos that encourage people to play the game. It would also allow players to practice intercepting nuclear bombers or simply let players enjoy the animations and visual effects of nuclear weapons. This would add more variety to the sandbox mode. Since it is a custom match, it does not affect the game’s economy, grind, or overall balance. This idea also synergizes perfectly with recently added strategic bombers like the Tu-95 and B-52.
Nuclear-capable aircraft availability:
As we know, in random ground battles, you gain access to a nuclear bomber that you don’t necessarily need to have researched. To keep Custom Battles balanced and reward progression from other modes, my solution is simple:
To use a nuke in a Custom Battle, a player must own/have researched a nuclear-capable aircraft on their account (e.g., Su-7, Canberra, Jaguar, Tu-95, B-52, etc.). Otherwise, the option to spawn with a nuclear payload remains locked for that player. This ensures that the mechanic remains a reward for reaching higher tiers.
Would you like to see Nuclear Strike options in Custom Battles?
- Yes, it’s a great addition for fun and training.
- Yes, but only for players who own a nuclear-capable aircraft.
- No, I don’t think it’s necessary.
