do u know if uavs count?
OH! @WHITE_BENGAL also, since the Strela now has 250% visibility, it is worse/harder to use in Arcade than in the past. It used to be in the 60%-70% range. In case you didn’t know, 100% visibility means that your ENEMY’S “Keen Vision” stats stay the SAME.
If your vehicle’s visibly is 250% however, they can see you at 2.5x the distance as normal! Often ALL the way across the map, often even into your own spawn. (Their Keen Vision stats get INCREASED by 250%, for YOUR vehicle specifically.)
(Conversely, if YOUR vehicle has 70% visibility, your ENEMY’S Keen Vision stats are REDUCED by 30%, to be 70% of their original stats. Making it HARDER to see you at range.)
TL;DR: For YOUR Vehicle: HIGHER Visibility is worse/harder to play. LOWER Visibility stat is better/easier to play.
wow thats rough

They DO count, but they only give 1/3rd as many CAS Points now. I also think the rewards for the Intelligence awards are reduced too? Not sure. But it will take longer using the UAV’s to try and get a nuke. Fine to use them if you can’t see anyone anyway. But just keep in mind everything will take longer with the UAV in the air.
Sadly, you can NOT get nukes when it is a Heli match 😭
okkkkkk :(

I think there is a small sweet spot where Nukes become possible, but before Helis can happen. 6.0-7.0 or something maybe. I cannot remember exactly when Nukes start, and when Helis start for Arcade.
@HighRiskNoReward hey bro, do you remember the exact BR’s for Nukes and Helis in GAB? Is there a BR where you can get nukes, but still impossible for Helis to be CAS?
Sadly, it’s not possible to spawn nukes when the air spawns are helis. If you have them use them because no point in saving the CAS points with heli matches.
Idk what’s the minimum top BR in a match where nukes are spawnable with plane CAS
Ah! Found it. BR 6.0+ for nukes: Arcade Battles | War Thunder Wiki
Ok, so I can’t find an exact number, but looks like Helis start coming in at 8.0 BR. SO, a lineup at around 7.0 BR will be quite nice, if you have something you like. ALSO, if you do around 6.0, your Nuke bomber will be a B-29 which in my opinion, is a bit harder to get close enough to drop it before an enemy SPAA or even fighter gets you. The B-57/Canberra is great, which is what I got in my screenshots above.
OH! I did forget, I think they added new very high BR nuke planes, right?! SO! It might be better than before if you did something near max. 11.7-12.0 maybe. I have not gotten a nuke at near max BR since the last major update. I might have to go test this now and see how it goes lol. They had to change something with all the new SPAA’s. The old “top” BR nuke plane was NOT enough to be effective.
Oh yes lol, I mean what BR to Helis start being possible, where they “take over” the CAS options for the match.
