A 25% difference in acceleration. Does it matter? No not really. If you’re so few tickets on the enemy team that 15 seconds matters, then congrats on the enemy out-playing you.
add in FB-111 and F-105D, as well as F-15E for top tier. tbh for US and Russia you should be able to pick which nuke plane you want at the BR, since im sure there will be multiple options at some
maybe strategic bombers with cruise missiles at some point, like B-1B, B-52, B-2, maybe even B-21
Gotta be honest - the amount of times I hear the siren and go to intercept… only for the nuke plane to be flown in a way that I can’t even see the damn thing until it has gone past me. idk, maybe you sweats playing at ULQ have a better time pinpointing. I’m yet to be shot down while carrying a nuke, myself. Saying all that, they still haven’t fixed the sirens in this game so half the time you don’t even hear the nuke coming, until it’s just about dropped on your head… if at all.
The most common scenario where I’ve seen a nuke plane ganked are the earlier nuke planes, and primarily when they just fly straight without dropping alt. Often it’s because they think their defense arms will save them. I.e:
Makes sense. It’s what I do in a nuke carrier, regardless of the siren. It’s your best chance to blend in with the terrain and you’re not a target for SPAA until you’re already able to drop the nuke. Love the guy I replied to acting like it’s some big skill to hug the deck, lol.
