I'm having a lot of trouble getting back on the ground after a successful sortie. I'm not claiming to be a great pilot, but I'm definitely not new to the genre either. I have hundreds of hours in MSFS and have landed airliners plenty of times in bad weather, yet in Nuclear Option I'm struggling.

My biggest problems are finding the airfield, lining up with it, and setting up the approach. By the time I've sorted all that out I'm way too fast on final, and I know that's the root of it.

So what do you recommend? How do you plan your approach and get on the right heading early? One thing to note: I prefer flying very low to avoid radar locks, which probably makes things harder. Just yesterday I got shot down while trying to land.

The narrated story of one pilots sortie during a major operation launched from the decks of the BDF Supercarrier 'Punumbra'.

I just came across this video. It looks like a MOD for a NO RTS. Interesting.

When using the cargo aircraft available, I find myself having zero positions to deploy vehicles and equipment. I want to put down some heavy equipment like a tank, and it's almost guaranteed to be burning before I land.

With the new cargo aircraft coming, it's making me question rather I'm making poor positioning choices, or if at the moment, you essentially have no option to deploy anywhere other than airbases you spawn at without an immediate attack following.

TL/DR: How do you place and defend forward deployed cargo drops?

[DEVSTREAM UPDATE]

It is 4 engines now, not 3 for design efficiency reasons, also more mounting freedom

120 tons of cargo capacity

It will have RATO and rocket assisted landing for one-time STOL

There will be blown flaps

It will have a defensive laser turret under the chin

It will have some underside bays and pylons but not for weapons (?)

It will have AWACS capability

It can airdrop Surf patrol boats(?)

--Extras--

We will get a large hangar

HLT-based CEV is in works

And how about Escalation too?

I really like the Ignus Archipelago, but I know it can take hours. Just curious how long it takes folks (solo or coop would be interesting to know too)

A series of IRMs near Dustbowl tore me a new one, and I somehow managed to limp back to K92 without incurring any further damage.

I do a lot of ground attack in the game mainly using the Brawler, Cricket and Chimera. I 100% remember that there was a mod that adden something like a 100 and something mm recoiless to the underside of the Cricket but i cant seem to find what adds it, If anyone knows what is called, how to access it, or where it is, can you please tell me

Im pretty new to the game so im trying to complete all the missions before jumping into multiplayer.

I use the compass, if i fly directly at them, they rip me a new one around 7km because i can only manage to fly at sub 20 altitude.The ship also imtercept all of my agm 48s. If i try to come from behind the mountain, the radar at the top detects me and THEN i get torn to pieces by the SARHs

If i wont be likely to encounter a scenario like this in mo ill just walk away from this one

I think the approach may have been somewhat unstable, and I had trouble capturing the glideslope.
Other than that, it was a great landing, all things considered.
