anyone else see a Nuke icon sometimes when spawning a bomber in ground arcade?

Yes and it’s normal , you can have a nuke in arcade
The number on the icon is telling you how much point you have to make to have it (if it tells 1/4, you have made 1/4 of the required battle points for it)

How many kills was this? I just now got a 10/nuke with no mushroom cloud icon
Probably 13 or 14, assuming that you don’t spend any on CAS.
In Ground Arcade it’s currently 15 points. It’s pretty much impossible, I played thousands of battles and saw nukes only a few times in Ground Arcade. Which is fine, because at least you don’t have to worry about it.

Ah, well that’s unfortunate lol. was hoping for something manageable but hey
It’s quite manageable, for vehicle of choice I would say something with good armor and reload time like tiger 2. I usually have issues with not enough targets or match ended when I was just one kill away.
Believe it or not, getting nukes in arcade is harder than in realistic lol the good thing is dying and respawning in arcade doesn’t set you back, unlike in realistic you die it sets you back by two kills.

I mean fair enough, I’m only just researching the M109G personally thought the Tiger 2 (P) can BE researched along with the Panther A. I’ve found the Sturer Emil and Nashorn to be quite effective for kills too.
My average kills in a match is around 2-3 total so its safe to say no nukes for me until I get better, which I am happy with if I’m honest, as long as my SL output after the match is positive then I’m happy.
I came very close to a nuke a few weeks ago in arcade. We were on the Hurtgen map and I was in an M4. For whatever reason the oppo chose to come at my position but at the same time go around me, which opened up a target-rich environment for me. The nuke icon showed up for me but had not highlighted yet. I was one kill away when a teammate got the nuke.
That is the only time I have seen a nuke in arcade, let alone an icon, even though I have had games with more kills than that day.
Unfortunate that your teammate got the nuke first but what can you do? Plus their also earned their nuke, congrats on getting that far man!
