So as yall know for the April fools event gajin came out with nuclear thunder adding the BUFF and the BEAR. Personally I love this. And hope the game mode stays for good
I like the new gameplay as a whole, I like them testing HARMS, S300, Patriot systems, and the ECMS for the new bombers. But as of recent updates it seems as if they’re taking away the ECMS from the 52 and T-95 and putting it at 8.3-8.7 my question is why?
I personally hope that they put the Bear and Buff in higher rb with actual interceptors that can reach them and also keep the ECM so it can go into top tier and turn air rb into a more strategic game mode instead of missle galore. Especially for sim players this would be amazing if they upped the br and kept ecm.
But my question to the community is what do yall think about the event and what should be done for the new bombers? Should they keep ECM and go up in br or stay the same? Also should this game mode stay in warthunder? And after this event is done should it become reworked into air rb?

This mode should stay as a permanent feature, NATO vs WARPAC. The vehicle restrictions would allow E/W Germany split by simply putting Germany on both sides but X-ing out the appropriate aircraft on either side. Maybe add a couple of additional maps, ideally with a carrier offshore.
For the bombers:
Possible additions: B-36/B-47/B-58, Vulcan/Victor/Valiant/Mirage IV/Tu-16/Tu-22
ECM is a requirement, particularly for the V bombers that had no guns.

thats for afterr the event is over and they’re tech tree, their ECM rn is really strong, the MIG25 which has one of the strongest radars still cant get a lock on properly, and the few radar guided spaa at 8.3/8.7 wont stand a chance
Nerf the USRR’s BUK and replace them to appropiate US spaa equivalent.
A HAWK which its SARH guided its no where comparable to the BUK which uses ARH missiles and way more range. Instead they could replace it with the soviet SA-6 spaa, which its more like to the hawk, in terms of ammo amount, range and guidance.
And buffing the US spaa its not possible because they do not have something similar to the BUK, NASAM sucks.
The buk for me hasn’t been a problem its the osa thats been a problem because it shoots down every missile or bomb i shoot at it
For me buks its a problem, sometimes gets me while flying at 30m from the ground in my a10. Also spamming missiles very far away. Literally makes you kiss the ground
Well anytime i fight a buk is if i have flown threw the middle of the map and make it to there first airfield but the osa just dont miss compared to the buk for me and when i try to use anti radiation missiles they all get shot down by the osas so thats my complaint also it feels like they have a faster turret rotation than the ones we get plus they have infinite ammo so yeah its really annoying when you try to use agm88s and cant because the osas just shoot all of them donw before they get close

My agm88 doesnt even go to the spaa it just fly past it.
I do not have that problem with su25t’s ARHM tho
My agm 88s work when they dont get shot down same with the Russian one its just the osa shoots them down before they get close
Just the concept of ARB with respawns is amazing, actual objectives and (potentially) longer games make it just that much better. If it was up to me this would just be a permanent mode not only as it is now, but also with equivalent setups all the way from interwar biplanes to the most modern of modern day, and maybe a bit more varied in target types instead of being excessive amounts of SPAA only.
It’s just straight up more enjoyable than ARB to me. The respawns take the attention away from the “just kill everyone” way ARB is played and opens up new room for meaningful objectives.
Not that I’d want ARB removed, but I do want a mode like this to stay.
PLEASE GAIJING PLEASEEEE, This is literally one of the new war thunder april fool events that actually can work as a real pvpve game mode. Also if added Please add UK Nation Vulcan as Nuclear Carrier as well <3 and ofc France and other countries have their own nuclear carriers that might not fit but the Nuke option i guess can just be shared between the nations.

Just get good and learn how to properly evade SPAA missiles or even better…learn how to get shot at to begin with
IIRC the Vulcan was teased in one of the older trailers they did so its 100% possible
OSAs and FlaRakRads do stuff that is not possible in actual ground matches. Apart from anything else they are essentially omnipotent and can just see you regardless of whether they have any active sensors, and otherwise just don’t behave like an actual SPAA. Fine with gun AA, fine with the long range SAMs (though please can their launch parameters be toned down, they would not fire just because you’re in range and it is a massive pain for your ears as your RWR blares for a missile that’s nowhere near you).
The counterplay is to either never be in range or to offer yourself up as a target and hope your weapons arrive first so the missile stops guiding. Which is simply stupid. Nerfing them so they don’t behave like an aimbot programme, or giving something like a equippable jammer would go some way to alleviating this.
It was done for a pages of history video last year iirc. The model exists.

you can shoot AGMs so they will focus on defending themselfs from those missiles then you can either go for gun run or let the AGM do their job
