TBF nuke should be removed and ground strike capable CAS should be put at its price range instead
What???
For sure need to be updated
Personally I feel an F4E would be a good choice for western nuke plane starting around 11.0 as it is still worse than current top tier planes but able to defend its self to a better degree than the current one. Additionally it was used by many countries unlike something like F111.
however I am unsure of a good Soviet counterpart as I dont know if any mig21 variants were nuclear capable
Pulse doppler radars dont care
Nobody asked for that

No, they won’t?
awful idea, makes zero sense balance wise or logically
Pulse dopplar radars absolutely do care, even at 14.0.
Yes they will lol, if an AIM-9J hits you, you are gonna feel it
No, they don’t. Unless you are multipathing PD does not care about altitude. You won’t avoid missiles or locks by just being low.
You have to do something entirely moronic to die to a 9J at 14.0.
Give me one single reason the nuke plane needs to be flying above multipath altitude? That was my entire point
Oh wow so you might avoid radar missiles! The all aspect IR missile in question:
Its GRB, if you dont see them coming and they get a shot on you, even a 9B is an easy kill on a 14.0.
Staying low isnt just for avoiding radar missiles, its to make yourself harder to spot. They cant fire IR missiles if they cant find you.
Also, I never once said the nuke plane shouldnt get flares or chaff.
yes, it is grb, this does not change what I said. Being blind to your surroundings is a moronic act
this is in no way some defense, to bring context:
The nuke planes can’t even flare the 9J if they DO know about it, so your point is dumb regardless
They can find you, it’s 14.0 my guy. RADAR.
because the nuke is just a gimmick not meant to be serious, who cares.
I agree, at least something with flares and a better top speed.
It doesnt change what I said either. So I dont get your point.
even at 14.0 many radars are still iffy at finding people at multipath altitude, let alone locking them.
Can they find you, get to you, and shoot you before you get over the ground battlefield?
Even at 14.0 you normally have to already have planes up ready to intercept the nuke, or have someone J out to spawn a plane the second they hear the siren to have a chance at killing it. (And if there are enemy planes up why would you even spawn it? Its asking to be shot down)
untrue entirely
Entirely? So all the games Ive played at top tier where I watch my radar lose lock on multipathing enemies, or fail to even aquire them in the first place account for nothing then?
Yeah okay, sure.
There is no mechanic that would do this, so yes there is nothing true about this. Your radar just has the same issues all radars in WT have rn which is buggy game code. It’s not related to “being near the ground”.
