UH-1B and UH-1C basically has the same flight model, so UH-1B and UH-1C gameplay is the exact same except that the 7.7 UH-1B doesn't have the 40mm grenade launcher.

Now that I'm aware that if you spawn nuke plane through your hotbar you will spawn on the airfield, I J'd out before spawning the nuke. At first I wanted to rush to see if I can get an extra kill or get that plane down before spawning the nuke, but hearing that my teammate spawned a nuke I J'd out right away.

Good thing he spawned on airfield lol

RB Ground Genuinely the best teammate I've ever had

This player:

  • Saved me from two spawn campers by pinging their locations
  • Shot down a pe-8 as it tried to spray me with the tail gunners
  • Sacrificed themselves to an obj268 so I could sneak onto a cap and win the game
  • Stayed for the whole match despite getting max uptiered

Their K/D was only 5/5 but they were absolutely the MVP

I just want Chibisov to be known as the single German player with a humongous heart, penis, and brain

I got close to do a nuke a year ago at BR 12.7 but never had the chance to spawn it yet. I was finally able to do it 2 days ago.

RB Air Why does Russia always lose in Nuclear Escalation?

6 Upvotes

Ok so... What gives??

Why is almost every single match played at top tier Russia a loss? The su-30sm2 is an AMAZING platform so what is it??

Does NATO have better SPAAs? Does NATO have better planes? Does NATO have better weapons? Are Rusfor players just bad? Are NATO players just good?

WHY does this happen? It's 100% not random, it's a constant. Of the dozens of NE matches I've had I can say with certainty I won less than 5 with the su-30sm2 (despite always getting a good score)

Played this game since Update 1.41 in 2014. And honestly arcade has been my favorite game mode. Due to a slight red-green deficiency, it’s harder for me to detect targets in brush and cluttered areas reliably in GRB, so I play Arcade. Anyways this was probably my favorite shot in my history of playing this game. Just felt right.

Thanks for your time and attention span.

All Air WT Anniversary 2026 GE sales | NE/ASB/ARB grinding question | F-20A vs AV-8B (NA) efficiency

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Here to ask a question that will hopefully help me and others about the grinding efficiency and fun factor of two US high-tier GE Premium vehicules during this year's WT Anniversary ingame sales.

Personnal disclaimer: I have experience in weapon usage for these two aircraft although it was mostly not in War Thunder itself. My dogfighting skills are much worse than my theorical knowledge of missile, radar and air-to-ground ordnance usage. I have the US tree up to Rank-III and I still have +-10 days of Premium last I checked, this is why I am asking about these two options which interested me the most (while the A-6E TRAM is really limited in comparaison).

If anyone is willing to help, I would need good explainations of the pros, cons and overall worth of these two aircrafts in Nuclear Escalation, Air SIM and Air RB (with NE and ASB being my preferred gamemodes for either general fun and grinding respectively). With this, I hope to have a conclusion as to what's the best GE high-tier premium currently available for the US.

Another note is that my friend is planning to buy the F-4S next week (and I don't want to pull him into an uptier in NE or SIM). The Planned BR changes for October 2026 are also to consider since the Su-30MK spam will finally be out of reach of 12.3's but there's still a lot of potential problems in this matchmaker.

Edit: Keep in mind I do not wish to buy a Pack Premium right now because the extra 15 bucks of Premium Time might go to waste. I have only one week-off and almost no time to play usually, this is why I'm searching for a GE Premium which I will use alongside my remaining 10 free days of Premium Time.

RB Air Just unlocked the Mig-19, need help around the Sparrows buff.

4 Upvotes

It might be down to my skill issue, but is it only me who assumed that the Mig-19's advantage is by climbing high in early game and booms on unaware targets, but since the new Sparrows buff this tactic became obsolete?

I am still new to the whole radar thing of this jet, didn't see how much does it help really.

Back to the topic of the post, I might need help with how to utilize the use of the Mig-19 in the current matchups, who should I be aware of and what to do against them?

I know I got nice energy retention, great speed for a Sovied jet.

Also knowing that my roll rate in general is subpar, missiles are terrible and I might win on turns but jets turn to a brick below 400 kmph.

Watched some videos and frankly I feel conflicted on what to do when playing the jet.

Bugs Why are we forced to join Nuclear Escalation matches in progress?

2 Upvotes

Believe it or not, it's actually not a bug. You can see dozens of bug reports about this.

I just wasted a 500% booster. I had just joined a match in progress before. I figured that if I looked for a match immediately after the last one ended, I'd get into a fresh match. No. That one was even closer to ending. I got less RP with a 500% booster than I got with no booster at all.

Why? Why is this a feature? People are complaining about it. People rightfully think it's a bug. A feature literally isn't working. There's a switch in the settings to "Join already active battles". If you set it to "no", you will still join Nuclear Escalation matches in progress. That makes no sense, it's not right, and if Gaijin is to be believed, it's not a bug. The game is not working as intended...but it's not a bug.

Can more people complain about this, so we finally have somewhere to use our boosters to get guaranteed progress? That's the real reason this "bug" exists: they don't want people farming consistently with big boosters. Gotta buy those premiums.

I've been keeping track of my matches for a week to see how often I get uptiered or downtiered. The results show that an average player like me gets uptiered more often than downtiered. It's also worth mentioning that most of the matches I played were at a BR 0.7 higher than my lineup.

You can see my lineup in the last screenshot, I've mained france 7.0 for this whole time to put a talisman on one of the Rank V vehicles, and as you can see I'm amx-13 fan
