Nuclear Option shill thread

something something pull up

>>715252871 (OP)
pirated and tried it for a bit after that one thread comparing it to Ace Combat and PW
I like it a lot, feels like the perfect mix of sim and arcade combat
I used KBM because I'm a masochist, it's a little jank but it works OK. It seems like the perfect game for my otherwise useless Steam Controller but I cba to map all the controls out, I'll wait until it's further down the line to buy it on Steam

Tried speedrunning that bridge defense mission an anon was struggling with yesterday. Catbox is fucking dead so I have to squeeze it into a 4mb webm

what is the multiplayer like?

>>715252871 (OP)
It should be illegal to release flight sims without VR support.

>>715252871 (OP)
awesome game
i wish i wasn't completely shit at it

>>715254249
Same scenarios as singleplayer, except that some of the AI planes are now people. Some servers do PvE and some do PvP.

>>715253285
jesus
okay you're good

>>715254925
are there lots of shenanigans? if multiplayer is just ''flight sim but AI is a bit smarter'' then I'm not interested
I see the same webms posted and although I'm interested, I see no reason to play this over any of the other games in this genre
>just try it
no, the fact that it's early access is enough to ignore it for the time being. this seems like a game that will be good after a decade of updates

>>715255562
Did you ever play Ace Combat Infinite? The F2P multiplayer one?
If you have the online's kind of like that, at least the PVE servers are. Everyone's racing to get kills and points so if you're not fast enough you'll find other players killing things before you get there.

>>715255562
>I see no reason to play this over any of the other games in this genre
I play all the other games in this genre and this.

>>715255674
I've never played that one, no
idk sounds like it's just tryhard stuff. I was hoping it was a bit more silly. if there are recommendations for a not-too-serious plane game I'd appreciate it but I don't know if that exists
maybe someone can post some multiplayer interactions and I can see what it's like

>>715256587
NTA but just go look up the game and see if it interests you fuck it's not hard holy shit you loser.

the "BDF in every alley" mission on steam workshop is really fun to goof around in or practice chicanery

>>715252871 (OP)
what is this? Something like VTOL VR but for a 2D screen?

>>715255562
>are there lots of shenanigans?
The entire server took off in formation with Darkreachs and 250kts dropping them all at once on the island. It made one guy lose his shit.

>>715257107
Its a touch more futuristic, there is no real focus on systems/procedure, and the combat environment is usually more chaotic, but yeah basically.

>>715253285
Can't understand anything, but looks cool.

am I right that the servers go up to 128 slots?
I think it'll be fucked if this game ever gets popular the games already seem crowded with 10 players.

>>715252871 (OP)
no VR huh? Shame looks fun

Just tried this out, is the tutorial plane supposed to have a mind of its own and handle like the very air itself is made out of bouncing rubber?
Compared to Ace Combat or Project Wingman this feels less like flying and more like barely controlled constant crashing

>>715259193
That sounds like how planes do. You're always getting buffeted a lot in the air, games like AC and PW make flying extremely straightforward.

>>715259193
All the planes are very controllable compared to pretty much any other sim due to all the planes having fly-by-wire. PW and AC planes don't fly like real planes, they are on railway tracks and don't lose energy.

Does the game only have a first person view or also a third person view?

playable with an xbox controller?
like how complex are the weapon systems?

and was it on sale during the steam sales? why didnt u shill it then asshole

>>715262890
All the weapons are basically just "lock target, press button" but you need to know how they work still. IR missiles seek heat sources, SARH missiles are guided by a radar on the ground, ARH missiles use whatever data link source or radar for most of their flight but then use their own radar in last 10 km, optical munitions detect shapes/contrast, cruise missiles use GPS/inertial and don't follow moving targets, laser guided rockets require you to maintain lock + line of sight for entire flight. You can shoot an AGM from like 15km away, but it might be better to shoot it from 5km, so its still moving fast and is not easy prey for anti-air, etc.

I play on a gamepad + I did shill it last week + it never went on sale

>>715262487
this is basically how all my dogfights turn out
>I fly towards the enemy
>go in a circle
>manage to see them for like a second before they fly past again

>>715253285
nice
