Dropping the BIG Ones in Nuclear Option Multiplayer

[@Enigma89]

If you haven't grabbed this game yet then you are sleeping. It's good solid fun. store.steampowered.com/app/2168680/Nuclear_Option/

[@philhealey2520]

I bought this based on your interview, has not disappointed! Thanks

[@PvtPartzz]

How was this comment pinned two weeks ago but the video is only a day old

[@TheTrenchcoatNinja]

i had no idea what this game actually was, looks really fun

[@Enigma89]

Yeah it's good to just have a straight forward game that's fun and pretty bug free

[@TheDominionOfElites]

It’s pretty simple and early access but good for what it is, very happy more cool flight games like this exist. It just works.

[@Mike-ob8km]

I'd been thinking of getting this game, but your video made me pull the trigger on it. Your gameplay looked like a ton of fun!

[@Sandboxcode]

You are in for a real treat. Too many people are sleeping on this. We need to fill up the servers

[@eatleadcobra]

Damn what a coincidence I've been looking for a new flight sim to play. I'll have to check this out

[@Sandboxcode]

Yeah definitely dont sleep on this game it goes really hard. No idea of your finances but it's a steal imo at $14.99. you get a LOT of content

[@jungletroll3844]

26:35 you can just hold the weapon button down and it will release all the bombs. They should all hit as long as you are plus or minus 3 seconds from the drop que

[@vincentvoncarnap]

the +/- 3 s is VERY variable with altitude and speed, sometimes you can drop at 40+ seconds until optimal.

[@shimapanzer2823]

I am pretty sure the jammers in the Darkreach and Revoker work a lot better when you are at lower altitudes. With the Darkreach, I personally like using the AGM-68s to over saturate the air defense and then fire off the Nuclear cruise missiles.

[@mitchconner403]

From my experience, the jammer only works if you are notching The counter measure jammer

[@vincentvoncarnap]

the jammer countermeasure does 3 things: increase radar floor to 50m when fully charged, effect drops with charge. increase notch angle leeway, effect drops with charge spoofs your position when not in notch, increasing effectiveness of G-pulling missiles, effect drops with charge.

[@vincentvoncarnap]

6:00 the circle is a lie, you can fire at WAY beyond that angle. range part of it is pretty accurate though, unless the missiles get decoyed, which AAMs are very vulnerable to.

[@vincentvoncarnap]

This does not really include ARADS, fire them within 20-30°.

[@vincentvoncarnap]

Another tip for the AAMs, launch the Scythe at about 20-15km and the S3 at ~5, S1 ~3

[@themigmadmarine]

As I recall the nuke cruise missiles are a good bit slower than the conventional ones, so may need to account for that with your drops

[@themigmadmarine]

Also, avoid firing nuclear cruise missiles over big terrain features like that mountain, they are less maneuverable than the conventional and will fly into terrain

[@Enigma89]

oo interesting, thanks for the tip

[@Justa_Normal_Gamer]

Hey buddy hopefully we can fly together soon so I can show you the ways of the unguided nuke

[@Discordscammedme...]

Can I join aswell kia, God knows what the base runners of the taco team can teach-

[@KD-_-]

Cannot WAIT for VR.

[@NoSTs123]

The only air sim I am good at.

[@keithhudspith5245]

You too? 😅

[@Discordscammedme...]

yooo the real enigma

[@vincentvoncarnap]

ikr, not the “great value” one

[@Enigma89]

Real

[@elijahjoshua5215]

Now we need a video with the new 150 kT, that should be fun.

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

cool game...might have to check it out since it looks like DCS is imploding

[@keithhudspith5245]

Check out the interview with Nuclear Options creator that enigma did, some great stuff

[@briantoplessbar4685]

Thanks gif showing this. Im ganna go check this out

[@PvtPartzz]

About time it got Track IR support! This was what killed the game for me until now that is. Can’t wait to give it another try

[@CarnotaurusEnjoyer]

epic video love you enigma

[@WTCheatShaming]

Do you use a joystick and throttle setup with track IR?

[@Enigma89]

yes

[@mrcrabs3765]

I’ve been looking for someone that makes some content on here that’s not crash comps and news updates,

[@Enigma89]

I will do more when i get time

[@mrcrabs3765]

I enjoyed the video, I’ve been thinking about making some content for NO, I want to spread this game around as I found this gem on a whim and a spur of good luck

[@Darrylx444]

Is VR support coming?

[@vincentvoncarnap]

in stage 3/3 of the roadmap, so the last one. remember that the roadmap is not set in stone by any means so it may come much sooner, or maybe not at all.

[@mitchconner403]

It is a very fun game, but it definitely needs to be balanced. The current meta right now is to fly a FS-12 below 10m because the radar guided missiles can’t hit you and there is not enough SPAAG to stop anything. Then you can drop it like a dumb bomb even though it is supposed to be an air burst nuke. It should only work around 100m in the air but I think it is a bug. People can literally skip all the air defenses as long as you are below 10m. It is so dumb. It is still an early access game, but that is my number one complaint about it.

[@Justa_Normal_Gamer]

Last update this was able to happen easily but this update even for me is challenging to pull off a nuclear lay down on a base that hasn't been defanged

[@mitchconner403]

@@Justa_Normal_Gamer I think they need to add a ground version of the Medusa. If they have like a ground vehicle or ship with a giant laser on it then I think that would fix the problem. It would be a pretty easy add

[@TheIke444]

In DCS it's "just Notch it bro" In War Thunder it's the same "fly low and you're invincible." They are intentional design choices to make evasion easier in an unrealistic way to encourage close in, low-level dogfights. Would it even be possible to attack if those infinite ammo SAMs could track at any altitude and shoot down all standoff weapons.

[@jungletroll3844]

you can ban 1.5kt nuclear bombs from the compass and revoker to prevent this strategy

[@vincentvoncarnap]

next update will fix this because nukes are going to be a limited resource, in a later update everything will be (sort of like falcon BMS i imagine)

[@fndrsm]

what is the input? MnK or joystick? or VR?

[@Enigma89]

Joystick

[@soleenzo893]

well at least if dcs dies we still have this amazing game and VTOL VR lol

[@blakemuch5607]

how did you get track ir to work with this game?

[@Enigma89]

Just update your trackir. Most games are so old that trackir already has them, for NO you just need to update TrackIR by patching it.

[@blakemuch5607]

@@Enigma89 thank you enigma! Also I love Ecw and all the amazing work you guys have done for the dcs community!!

[@Vlamyncksken]

​@@blakemuch5607unrelated but ok

[@mbtenjoyer9487]

Cool

[@Munky332]

VR When? lol

[@Enigma89]

It's part of the roadmap

[@MozTS]

Wish it had vr support :(

Is there vr support? If so I would give it a try.

[@larsschroder212]

@@vincentvoncarnap Not at all would be sad. I could Imagine that this project could win a lot more Players with VR support

[@ricbish]

Interesting gameplay and the graphics look okay, not bad. Strange how they’re trying to make the use of nuclear weapons okay and normal. People who didn’t drown up during the Cold War and the threat of these weapons don’t have a clue how terrifying they really are. That aside it looks like some fun.

[@Golfwhiskey]

It's a video game about war, get off your high horse

[@ricbish]

@@Golfwhiskey Too funny! I'm more on a low horse but whatever! I know it's a game about war I just thought it's interesting that nukes are now a common weapon in games! Relax it;s all good

[@Vlamyncksken]

It's a video game... How is it "strange"?

[@TheIke444]

Wow you can lock by left clicking on the map? That makes non-track IR so much more manageable. Hope VR comes eventually

[@vincentvoncarnap]

VR is on the last stage on the roadmap (stage 3, concept)

[@holy-ordos]

is this game still populated? every time i check steam charts it says less than 200 or 100 players

[@Enigma89]

The population goes to and from as patches come out. You have to remember that this game is still being actively built out. The game is still very playable with just a handful of people in a server. There is a big patch coming and when patches drop is when teh flood begins again. I would def say its a safe buy in the long run as the developers are putting a ton of new stuff in constantly.

[@lemangkuk]

Will there be a dedicated server for nuclear option by Enigma? would love to jump in and fly until stuff in DCS settle down.

[@Enigma89]

I don't really have plans to make a server again, the sheer size of ECW has sort of exhausted me on the idea. With that said, Nuclear Option's default game mode is already really good. I think dedicated server support is coming to the game at some point

[@lemangkuk]

@@Enigma89 I see, understood. welp hope to get a chance to fly with you in Nuclear Option if you're doing a community fly or something. o7
