Something I realized is the convoys move way faster than typical. My soviet tv missiles struggle to hit at high anglular velocity shots

That’s not an issue with your missile. All TV/IR guided missiles have been unable to hit the moving convoy targets since at least the most recent top tier play test

For those unaware, assuming they dont suddenly change the devserver, nuclear escalation will be released permanently next update

In the picture you show , it has something…more interesting. Bullet hell. The mode we may don’t want so much, but the mode we need. To grind mods as we should!

Oh yeah I noticed it as well and I am hyped for it

Let’s hope they’ll include the modes in the update. If they do it will be the best update Air ever received…
Personally with nuke thunder i’m a bit on and off, but as a matter of fact i nearly never go meta even if i have the planes (currently grinding Sweden with …J35XS , 20lvl crew…) and it can be very annoying at times.
But bullet hell? You come home from work, grab a beer, sit your azz in the PC and just play. And you’d can grind mods way easier than all the BS grinding in the other mods that you can do very few things at start, and you won’t have to basebomb in fighters to guarantee at least some RP to grind CMs and a few more missiles at least.

I wanna use the F-4E with 4x vulcans in bullet hell lol. It won’t be the best plane to use but it will be funny. And I can’t forget to take full tracer belts :P

Actual Gaijin W for once???

Can we please please please get improved naval rewards? 10 mission points for sinking a ship is ridiculous. You get more points for damaging a ship than you do for actually sinking it. The naval side of Nuclear Escalation has so much potential that’s barely being tapped into and that’s also being strangled by the utter lack of rewards for trying to interact with it.

They still haven’t fixed the bug where when a Roland shoots a missile and it goes through trees, it does not explode, instead becoming INVISIBLE (missile diamond disappears as well) and literally jump-scaring you by exploding your aircraft seemingly spontaneously.

This sounds more like desync from playing in a far away server… :)

It’s not just the rolands that do that, all the shorad sams do it.

I have question. Do conventional bombing something to airfield in NE?

Ive seen damage done, withiut it counting on the base bombing tonnage in the results tab. But i havent tried it myself.

Saw someone mentioning 4 passes with napalm to destroy an airfield, either here or in another thread

I tried it once. I got little bit score but without counting bombing tonnage.

Yeah, they changed the units to kilotons or megatons, so i guess you would have to make a few runs before it started counting. Did you get good rewards for the bombing?

Nope. But its possible that I missed few bombs.
