Nuclear Option | Aircraft Review | VL-49 Tarantula

[@MrZcrman]

playing a game in window mode is diabolical

[@avi8aviate]

Now play Windowkill.

[@wilberforce6991]

The real diabolical thing is having edge, chrome, and Firefox on the same taskbar

[@WiseArkAngel]

If it means better performance, then I could care less, though it may be a bit distracting.

[@AchingScaphoid]

There is no way this fictional universe has universal healthcare if they're loading a single aircraft with 520 guided munitions.

[@pluemas]

Fun fact, universal healthcare costs the government less per capita than private healthcare systems. You can compare the costs online using the NHS or a European system as an example.

[@pajamas720]

Eww politics. Id like universal healthcare more if they didnt find other ways to not make you use it like long wait times or tryng to make you consider unlife.

[@pluemas]

@@pajamas720 most universal healthcare systems don't have assisted dying, that's just a weird Canadian thing. Wait times are over exaggerated as an issue, and it's skewed by people who need medical help not being able to afford it and thus not being treated at all (giving the impression that private has shorter wait times).

[@avi8aviate]

524 if you bring IRM-S1s on the sponson mounts.

[@h.c5750]

People shouldnt be forced to keep living thats monstrous ​@pajamas720

[@violetvictoria9908]

Sad to hear a nerf is incoming but it makes sense. I used the cannon to snipe a radar 20km away lol

[@oltsu1234]

I managed 53km. Like yeah this thing might have needed a nerf if it can kill anything on the map with no risk

[@Thoriumplatypus5263]

I think the nerf shouldn't be as extreme as 5km. If I remember correctly the game's analog to the stinger missile has a range of 2km while the IRL stinger has a range of 10. The M777 with guided rounds has a max range of 40km so 10km seems reasonably to scale.

[@underpaidmook]

@Thoriumplatypus5263 The M777 is a 155mm tho. Even the AC-130 has a 105mm cannon. 76mm is smaller than both of them

[@84ceasar]

Nuclear Option is just so so pleasant surprise and I love simulated arcade. NO reminds me of Nova Logic games or Jane's ATF back in 90s. I love concept, thank you for supporting this game.

[@lorddragontree]

Man, I played Jane's when I was a kid. Loved that game so much. You're the only other person I've ever seen mention it.

[@pusher8]

The secret to mobility is lowering your fuel to 25%. I have never been below 10% and i tend to fly for a relatively long time

[@TheIke444]

I love using the S1 missiles as anti-AAM defenses. Gives you the option to fly at medium altitudes.

[@celzotertins6462]

now we only need a race of blue aliens on a jungle

Avatar?

[@QwerYT4819]

@@tidepod10yearsago97 yep lol

[@QwerYT4819]

What are blue smurfs supposed to do against an artillery shell from across their entire domain 😂

[@q_nx2321]

Your channel explains these things so damn good I love it

[@tidemon5881]

The 76mm guided munitions have a range far exceeding 5 km, they just become increasingly inaccurate. I have been able to destroy larger structures like radar stations as well as shard corvettes at ranges above 25 km.

[@avi8aviate]

The VL-49 Tarantula is currently the only aircraft in the game that does not have ejection seats. Even the SAH-46 Chicane has them, which is rare on helicopters.

[@rebel1o1]

Wow..this plane will bring me back Nuclear Option asap:)

[@jonathonsurritte4627]

Just bought this game a day ago and it’s quickly becoming my favorite combat flight simulator. In my opinion it has the perfect balance between complexity like DCS and simplicity like Ace Combat

[@hungryhedgehog4201]

If they nerf the gun buff the deployment of vehicles on the move with parachutes or something.

[@koopanique]

Thanks for this detailed breakdown

[@damienmckay6146]

Great explanations, much appreciated 👏

[@CharliMorganMusic]

How do I enable manual tilt adjustment?

[@DryHeatAndSand]

You need to set key binds to toggle the assistance on/off, and another to control the tilt position. It can be set as an axis or with up/down buttons.

[@Chancellor_dumb]

Default binding from what I saw yesterday are F to turn off stability assist then up or down on the arrow keys

[@mrmagoo-ip6ee]

This reminds me of Drop ship on PS2

[@Opeten]

please use fulscreen, great vid btw

[@patrickfrazier9613]

Reminds me of the heavy vehicle VTOLs in Tom Clancys Endwar

[@MouldedSalad]

*Edge Of Tomorrow* 😎

[@Wigza]

does anyone know if the powershifts connecting the props can be damaged?

[@superkazuya3328]

Giff more Nuclear Option videos 😤

[@bensmith6868]

Is there an auto hover?

[@dunkermitcell83]

Not bad it would be a very buetiful aircraft if it was real,😮 nice video 👍😎

[@GX33Official]

the 76mm and 25mm gunpods are the best a2a weapons lol

[@kedrednael]

I think the range you report of the canon is wildly off. It's like 15km at least.

[@DryHeatAndSand]

There is a nerf coming that will bring the cannons range down. The 5km range is the reported range in the game's encyclopedia documentation.

[@vincentvoncarnap]

it can shoot up to 45 km right now

[@kedrednael]

​@@DryHeatAndSand Oh that will really change the effectiveness indeed. That's basically in range of IR SAMs

[@pluemas]

@@kedrednael it kinda makes sense with the compressed ranges in game though. The 105mm from an AC130 can shoot about 12km, so shrink it down to a 76mm and then scale it to the same reduced range that the missiles work at and you get roughly 5km. I think that's balanced, as ATM it can take out shard corvettes whilst being safely out of range

[@92HazelMocha]

​@@pluemas​ Well, we are getting a substantially larger map pretty soon here, iirc it's about 4x the size.

[@3kz4]

tarantura could use parachute to deploy the troops

[@hungryhedgehog4201]

The 76mm shells can be countered by a medua's laser, I once fired over a dozen and the medusa just destroyed them in seconds with one laser sweep

[@James_Games76]

So hear me out, when I heard the ammo crates can expload, can't they be used as bombs?

[@DryHeatAndSand]

Yes, they are devastating, but you don't get any targeting aids.

[@derptomistic]

"Offensive Logistics"

[@RomanGTR35]

I used it in Escalation, just spawn fly up and enable Auto-Hover, nobody cant hit me and i can shoot at 20-25km range, the only threat was a Dynamo-class with his railgun.

[@scottlittle7057]

thx

[@bammbalam]

Love your review videos mate great work

[@bensmith6868]

Anyone have else have no luck programming their mouse buttons in the game?

[@DryHeatAndSand]

I've had the same issues.

[@Gegengrupenfuhrur]

Never heard of this game..

[@zerohours5928]

I like how Tarantula, a heavy cargo dropship, is faster than a light attack plane Cricket.

[@pluemas]

I mean to be fair, Ospreys are faster than Sky Wardens. C130s are almost as fast as A10s.

[@Thoriumplatypus5263]

Being fast lets you deliver stuff fast, being slower gives you more guns on target time.

[@mindlessmyriad]

Chinook is faster than the little bird WITH load lol

[@CASA-dy4vs]

Maybe because it has 4 massive engines nearly as wide as the cricket itself propelling it? Like how US aircraft carriers are faster than their escorts because of their size being able to fit bigger propulsion systems.

[@avi8aviate]

Size doesn't matter quite as much as drag and power.
