Nuke Spawn Cost Rework

2500 Spawn Points, in my opinion, is far too much for a chance to drop a Nuke and clutch a match is too much. The rarity is a shame given the special they have, this change allows for more dynamic counter play overall. My suggestions to improve this mechanic would be:

  • Nuke Cost lowered to 2000 Tank SP (Same method to drop as currently in game)
  • Instant Nuke added for 2500 Tank SP (Instantly winning the match for your team without the need to drop)
  • New Nuke Carriers for all nations (added counter measures for Top Tier Nuke Carriers, rebalancing certain spawn parameters)
  • Team Killing and Friendly Collision with Nuke Vehicles completely disabled
  • Inability to gain SP for the Nuke via Aircraft/Helicopters/Drones (added seperate SP for Ground Vehicles)

Tell me, did you tried to get a Nuke but you couldn’t, now you’re pissed and created this thread? Nuke does no reward nothing something big for the effort, if you get the 2500 spawn points is up to you get a few more Silver Lions. Is just a extra pressure, but yet, can be game changing, but it’s situational.

Nuke just needs better carriers for top tiers, so that you can actually reach battlefield and better reward.

I believe 50k SL for nuke drop should be adequate.

It doesn’t need to be any easier than it already is to get

Love the immediate hate haha,

A nuke gives the opportunity to win the match after getting 2500SP, the opportunity. I’m saying 2500SP is a lot, and should instantly allow you to win the match. Reducing it to 2000SP for the chance to spawn a Nuke carrier, as it is in game now, makes more sense to me. This would increase the amount of Nukes vehicles in game, giving more of a thrill to players for both your and the enemies team.

Agree, 100%

I would rather take the win, doubling the XP and SL gain of the match. Hence my suggestion :)

???
No.

What we do need is upgraded nuke carriers, teamkill disabling, and an actual reward for dropping a nuke.

To add to that, whatever RP the nuke plane makes (it’s always some) goes into a separate pool that is completely useless, we call it “the void”.

2000 points to instantly kill the match is a no go for me.

Yeah I agree, and the reduced SP of being able to spawn the Nuke:

  • Nuke Cost (Same as now, the chance to drop) —> Lowered to 2000SP
  • Instant Nuke (Instantly winning the match) —> Added for 2500SP
  • New Nuke Carriers for all nations, added counter measures for Top Tier Nuke Carriers
  • Team Killing and Friendly Collision with Nuke Vehicles disabled

That’s not what I said, 2000SP for what is currently in game and 2500SP to win the match without the need to drop.

Yup i missread. But still the same, The new nuke carriers & friendly fire sound nice but Instantly ending a game based on points is still a no from me.

It just promotes toxic gameplay.

I respect your opinion, but how would instantly winning a match after 2500SP be toxic; rarely do you see 1 nuke a match, let alone 2 or 3? Perhaps I’ve miss read?

Personally, if you give players an “instant win” button that they get after 2500SP some players WILL not use it and instead taunt the enemy team in chat and wait until the very last moment to use it, especially if that players team is currently loosing and they can win at the press of a button.

So it’s a no from me. There are other solutions that would work better.

Spawn camping & CAS is already bad enough, Adding a “instant match end” mechanic to that will just promote those two even more.

I’d rather see it raised to 3000 to be honest

If anything, nuke requirements should be higher, I have had so many matches where every games someone managed to drop it back to back. I do eventually finds them extremely annoying at time lol especially when your team is steamrolling the enemy team but you suddenly hears the siren but it belongs to the enemy team.

Yep, 100% agree; but then the issue turns to spawn camping and CAS, not the fact the Nuke is too expensive for just a chance to drop.

It is really not

Or just make some other jet carry the nuke at higher tiers?

2500 SP is enough for a nuke.
It’s already not even 3x the cost of CAS.
