we should be able to spawn it instead of planes when we nuke :)
Planes and helicopters should be unlocked in 1st or 2nd level of escalation then.
You literally want a tank-only mode, so where will all spaa go? Just realised.
See MGS3 snake-eater for a demonstration of even a tiny portable nuke mortar does, i think this guy is operating on the basis that small nukes work like in fallout xD

As mentioned, I just would avoid involving player controlled aircraft entirely. Having planes as AI controlled call-ins to add a reason for players to use SPAA/SAMs would be workable though.
Just having player controlled aircraft poses way too many factors to consider.
Shooting down the nuke planes, explained all of this earlier
On shilka?
so I’m guessing gajin next infrantry CBT will start trying cargo helis like Chinook and Blackhawks with mini guns
Eagles idea of nuclear weapons:

I personally think there’s a way to make this viable, but it should be something that doesn’t require an aircraft to be unlocked in order to use it.
Taking reality as an example, one thing I could see being added without breaking an EC version of Ground RB is a system similar to the artillery strike, but using glide bombs instead. It would simulate a long-range dumb bomb attack, with maybe a 30-second time to impact.
Obviously, to avoid an “I don’t even know where I’m getting killed from” situation, there should be sirens in the area where the bombs are going to hit, starting about 10 seconds after the strike is called, so people in the zone have a chance to get out.
That said, if I had to choose, I’d pick a tank only game mode every day, but we all know gaijin, and that’s just not going to happen.
Considering Gaijin has plans on adding helis and logistics aircraft to NE, I am not interested in having them present in ground EC tbh, provided these modes are both alternatives and the ultimate development of their respective realistic modes (air rb/ground rb)
Tank only game mode should be large scale and fun, not niche optional crap like bullet hell
who wants a NE arcade mode?
Why do you want nukes in ground mode, tho, they shouldn’t be there…
And the mode should be renamed to just escalation mode. Ground escalation and Air escalation. With BR ranges start from 5.7 or something.
air escalation is NE right?
To provide an appropriately tense endgame, i said earlier that conventional munitions to destroy whatever the spawn/key objectives are would feel a bit underwhelming
Gaijin needs to scrap arcade already

Two opposite things for a ground mode that erases spaas, ifvs, apcs, helicopters and planes.
So, a ground mode for MBTs only? Not cool.
What do you mean “erase IFVs and APCs”?
You don’t need planes for those to serve a purpose.

Yes cool, MBTs are by far and in large the most played vehicles (with heavies and mediums close behind), light tanks and IFVs can retain their scouting and mobility, that doesn’t vanish if we ban CAS
Furthermore, tanks are the only vehicle without their own mode, which is insane to me
In GRB they have a purpose to earn points. Thats their whole feature, recon to earn more spawn points and a reduction of spawn points to spawn a plane.
And by not adding infantry as well, you won’t add any meaning to them. So they will be as useless as spaa without planes.
Tank-only mode is just an MBT-fest.
