r/Warthunder

I knew they would ruin this event mid way though forcing everyone whos spent time in the event to either go through hell or fork over money thanks for nothing devs

Last patch fucked the event mode I saw a guy with 68 ground kills and only had 3.8K points idfk tbh gaijin earns way too much money for bs like this

They are so anti fun it isn’t even funny.

People using stock planes were suffering enough now even those plane kills u get mean dogshit

At the end of the day we deserve it all the bs they throw at us we take it like good lil boys and don’t do anything ab it

it's not a skill issue, I can perform very well with the F-16A in Ground Realistic Battles.

This is a screenshot of what my kills looked liked after trying to ground pound in the F-16A. It is not possible to play CAS without nukes, due to how strong the OSA-AKM is. They are completely broken and eliminate playing the CAS role. With 5 spawns, I was able to hit only 1 ground target, not to mention, I fired at least 4 AGM-65s per spawn and a single one hit. 1/20 were hits. Absolutely ridiculous

If you can actually get close enough to get AGM-65s fired, all 6 can be intercepted by an OSA-AKM before hitting their target. They are ridiculous

The OSA-AKM needs to be flat out removed, or have it's missile and guidance redone for Nuclear Thunder. It has completely removed American CAS without just using a nuke.

What should happen is: Have the fucking radars turned on, the Radar is what is tracking an aircraft, not the AI. It's pretty clear the AI itself is doing the missile tracking which makes it essentially impossible to notch or defend from. Have the missile follow a radar lock, not the AI's guidance. If you can break the radar lock, you can evade the missile.

Also, if a player controlled OSA can't fire on the move, why can the AI controlled one? The mavericks are slow enough, so hitting moving targets that are shooting down your AGMs make the OSA's infinitely harder to hit

I don’t know if it’s just me. But HAWKs have gotten even worse. I am hugging the ground less than 100 meters from MY airfield near the ocean and got taken out by them. TWICE.

As well as them lowering SP rewards and RAISING SP costs?!?!

I usually don’t complain, I just deal with it… it’s War Thunder after all’s

But this is ridiculous. And I know USA is just as bad despite me giving up on playing it due to its horrible planes and que times.

RUS is much easier this event if your using the given planes. Also, AA still needs nerfing across the board.

To the people galling this event: this event does have SO much potential to be a great gamemode. But this one, should not have been an April fools event in my opinion. And, the devs blatant disregard to players begging to nerf or adjust this gamemode is pretty infuriating. They have done nothing, in my opinion, that actually helps the gamemode from my readings of changelogs. And after playing today, the gamemode feels MUCH worse.

Because of my work schedule I only get 1-1.5 hours a night to play without getting into dangerous levels of sleep deprivation, but I was still on track to get both planes.

Log on tonight and it feels totally hopeless. Changes to the map have dispelled the big furballs, however if you try and loiter in the combat zone to get air kills you get gimped by AA. Fair enough, they want people to actually play objective, but the AA is just too ridiculous to make any progress by ground attacking. Cut my session tonight short in frustration and I think I managed to hit two HARMS with an su24 in about 45 minutes. Guided munitions just get shot down, conventional dumb bombs are impossible to get on target close enough to get anything more than hits.

Part of me wishes they’d just made the grind this awful from the get go, would have saved me a week of effort as I wouldn’t have bothered. Missing today’s challenge means I’ll 100% not be getting the TU95, B52 is theoretically still possible but I can’t see it happening as the event is now.

Anyone still bothering with the grind? What are your tactics?

Hey y'all, I've never posted here, but I've been semi-active just reading posts, but I'm so angry about how they've ruined Nuclear Thunder; it's time to actually make a post about it. Gaijin as a company is one of the greediest scummiest companies I've ever seen. The best rendition of Nuclear Thunder was the second update, separating the BR's. We should just revert to that update imo and keep the increased ground kill RP stuff and nerf the SPAA's hella. I see more people die to SPAA's than I do actual players bro, it's so annoying.
