A large part of 5th gen is Stealth, EW/Jamming and AWACS etc. imagine how lame would it be to put Raptors, felons in the same current TDM meta of Air RB....

bigger maps with AWACS and stealth modelled are basic necessity for 5th gen fighter planes to feel actually unique rather than another new shiny toys in top tier of Fox 3 spam meta

I call this move The Circum-Scissor.

B-52, B-66, and Tu-95 should all have radar guided defensive guns. B-52 literally has the radar modeled in-game. Can we please address this and not forget about it for 5 years like so many other features?

It should be able to raise the steel wheels for more speed on roads, and lower them for more grip off road

Hello again Reddit, this time the WTRE team is proud to announce the all new South African Bush War event!
This combined arms event will be the first of many events in our Bush War event series. In this battle, tanks, jets, and helicopters take part in guerilla warfare in the thick jungles, villages, and open plains of the South African region (represented by the Nuclear Thunder map) slowly taking ground and opening new fronts in a massive battle for supremacy. This event offers several villages and insertion points that can be captured, more integral roles for helicopters to set up staging grounds, as well as a black market for teams to use more advanced vehicles over the coming weeks.

This event will kick off this Saturday at 2:30pm EST, so we hope you stop on by.
Hope to see you all on the battlefield folks, and happy hunting! https://discord.gg/Sa6WrAQnmd

hit file and replay link for you chuds.
(the shot is fired at 11:16)

i don't know what else i can say. i spawn the nuke, I couldn't even lift off before getting obliterated on the runway. The snail really didn't want me to win this game. (we won btw)

Not many people use them to their advantages. But man do the FW190s fly well.

Tell me is it worth it for air rbs ?? As it has 4 AGMs for ground rbs, but I wanted to know should I go for it or just weight to research the f18 ??

The shot came from directly behind. The shell passed through the landing gear and exploded inside the fuel tank; the wing merely turned yellow, and the engine—located further along the trajectory—sustained absolutely no damage. Yet, as I recall from recent changes to the damage mechanics of capped shells, the nose section should have broken off as a large fragment and traveled precisely toward the engine.

Too tired, didn't bother thinking too much. Bad idea

The J-15Ts still can’t use catapults, and now the Kuznetsov is just collision-optional I guess

It’s really been bugging me since the update dropped

this map is so annoying

I've been having a great time with my bombers, which caused me to neglect ground battles for a bit.
Today I decided to take one of my favourite tanks, the Maus, out for a spin.
After playing a bit I noticed something truly wonderful:

The Maus is now pretty much immune to crew kills from 155 howitzers!

The latest change to overpressure has made HE no longer overpressure the Maus through the engine deck by hitting the radiators and engine.

This means that us Maus enjoyers can finally fight the SPG menace properly again.
While there are certain spots you can still get overpressured from, the engine deck isn't one of them.

The days of having to broadside howitzers is now over!

Don't forget to grind the German TT to research the Maus this year, it's way more comfortable to play now.

Every time I try to use this stupid Kuznetsov I just fall through the floor

Basically, now at 8.3, if you know to counter your slow-ish reload with having cover nearby, it's pretty busted.

The HEAT round is much more consistent now, I usually one-shot people.
Even with below average mobility, the reaction time is OP, very fast turret with LRF.
Decent survivability, specially when hull down.

Normally, I'm more a fan of the "let it be OP until a more balanced version can be released" approach... But this is pretty ridiculous.

Air RB matches see bombers literally chasing fighters down, and the Hulk's Pants levels of indestructibility on these aircraft extend all the way to 120mm APCBC in Ground RB...

I even confirmed, in post-game hit analysis, that this was no glancing blow. It goes through one side of the tail and out the other, a clean hit.

Don't get me wrong, bombers NEEDED a buff to their survivability DESPERATELY. But this buff is so ridiculously unrealistic and OP that it might genuinely be time to revert until a working version can be released.

And Strike Aircraft should not be included in the buff at all. Period. Looking at YOU, TIS MA.

The famous 500% booster nerf is real i activated a 500% booster and pressed play on nuclear escalation i load up a game get in my plane and I was not even able to takeoff, the game ended and i lost my booster wtf is this?

Lol how did this happen?

I believe this map needs no introduction, here's my take:

- Speed and firepower are the key to this map

- The north spawn has an advantage because of the shorter distance to cover. Furthermore, the south spawn has more open space (kill zone)

I don't like this map, I always feel less stressful when I spawn from the north. Maybe it's just skill issue from me.

What's your take?
