FS-12 REVOKER 🔥🔥🔥

[@declanb170]

The musicians for this game are so fantastic. They just keep iterating to make the best experience. Saxophone and guitar collide in pure adrenaline. Cant wait for more songs!

[@vincentvoncarnap2473]

hats off to jeremy and justin!

[@toysoldiernerio7172]

we're gettin out the airfield with this one

[@TubularAnde]

If there's one thing I've learned from playing Nuclear Option it's that DCS World could definitely be improved by each plane having it's own WWE entrance song

[@user-yj2om6ri9o]

And having nukes

[@komrad_emerald5543]

i wish the ifrit theme went for longer because its genuinely incredible

[@derpcade]

I remember playing the open beta for the first time, and immediately being blown away by how good the soundtrack was. This game is going places.

[@kutluakaln6789]

I love the depth that the Revoker theme has. The guitar and the rhythm really pump you up and awaken the feeling of "YEAH, TIME TO REVOKE SOME ASS!" while the saxaphones express the glamour of flying an air superiority fighter wonderfully. It is exhilerating. Paying more attention however, you can see the melancholy layered under all the kickass with the piano. It really makes you stop and think about the world this game is set in.

[@vladanikeev6018]

Yes yes yes

[@t65bx25]

It’s easily among the most dangerous planes to pilot. I mean it’s basically built to kill you, with how easy you can black yourself out. Not to mention I highly doubt Mitch was really surprised when his creation started becoming synonymous with nuclear kamikaze. Even the Revoker’s tutorial mission is the only tutorial where instead of being on the offensive, or defending down strategic target like a bridge or facility, you’re protecting _your home city from nukes._

[@Acruxis]

We're escalating the situation with this one

[@KiritoCuzYes]

We are going into total war with this one

[@FireMissionAlpha]

Love the Medusa track, more electronic instruments in there to mirror its EWS role

[@doomsdaylamb]

I would like a few more songs for when you play a plane more than once, maybe a bit more of a backtrack. But regardless amazing soundtrack, I like PALA and revokers themes best

[@t65bx25]

Yeah, especially when you are starting out, menu > team select > first plane means several songs at once, and then nothing. The songs being queued is a very fun thing though. Perhaps more songs like the Splash Target theme.

[@Arcterran]

As much as I love the Revoker theme (Its seriously one of the best themes of anything in any game ever, especially when you go on a missile tear!) I think Compass is a dark horse candidate for being a certified banger (The new stuff is really nice btw!)

[@flightknight4269]

FS-12 Revoker fucking slaps

[@larmpfy]

EW-25 track goes raw asl for no reason 💯

[@h1tsc4n40]

Fitting soundtrack for a plane capable of single-handedly shutting down a small country's entire air defense network

[@GanzaArjera13]

I love difference between planes music. Compass is casual but still has drive in it. Revoker is better version of Compass. More drive, more speed. Ifrit is the hell of ornament. The heavy metal perfectly conveys the heaviness of Ifrit and his huge arsenal in relation to other aircraft. Medusa is different. Special-plane of special-mission and music the same. DarkReach I think need to be more menacing and mysterious. Large strategic bomber. You don't know where it is and WHAT it carry now. Mysterious and menacing art of aircraft.

[@vladanikeev6018]

Oh yess darkreach must same!! And maybe another look of chicane? Or him theme is ok?

[@GanzaArjera13]

@@vladanikeev6018 Reminds me of some games and filmes about 90' wars and USA invasions. Heli-warrior carrying lots of ATGM and ready to fly away from mountain - shoot away his arsenal - fly away before enemy will show counterpart.

[@argokarrus2731]

Don't forget the Chicane's theme!

[@kutluakaln6789]

I love how solid and reliable the compass theme feels.

[@avi8aviate]

Each track fits their own aircraft. The Cricket, being the starting aircraft, gets two themes rather than one. Both of them belong to their respective factions. The Compass is a reliable and forgiving attack trainer, so it gets a more relaxed theme compared to the others. It can still deliver a decent punch in both air-to-air and air-to-ground. The Chicane is an attack helicopter designed solely to fly low and slow, destroy its target, and leave without a trace. Its theme has a sort of 'special forces' vibe, on its way to wipe out a target with a precision strike, unseen. The Revoker is designed for agility above all else, so it only makes sense for it to get the fastest-paced theme out of everything else. The Ifrit is a fast and agile airborne arsenal capable of adapting to any mission, with no expenses spared. The first half sounds more like its ground attack mission, while the second half is air superiority. The Medusa is a specialized electronic warfare and optional AWACS aircraft, so its theme gets an unusual electric vibe compared to the other aircraft. It sees all, and can effectively turn radar SAMs into useless statues. The Darkreach is a big, heavy strategic bomber, so its theme is slower-paced. It does, however, carry a menacing payload. It will flatten your airbase with said payload, or worse, turn it into radioactive glass.

[@QuantasA380fan]

Chicane goes hard

[@theLV2]

This soundtrack gets better every time I listen to it. It's good on its own but putting that sax in was a stroke of genius.

[@rufatahmedov2029]

God it is like late 90s- early 00s music and I love it

My favorite parts of the Chicane theme: 12:22 AEÜAEÜAEÜAEÜAEÜAE 12:31 DADADADADADADADA

[@cotabom]

This soundtrack is amazing! I hope they add a type of F-117 to the game.

[@FireMissionAlpha]

Nuclear Option is my favourite MOBA and my favourite soundtrack of 2024 :D (Its not a MOBA but damn do the aircraft all have their own personalities - each feel unique and fun, and the individual theme for each of them really drives that home)

[@rickyquinteros7100]

I love this soundtrack so much, it combines hard rock/metal with the saxophone and it sounds incredible!!

Is there an option to disable MSAA FXAA? Is there a .cfg file somewhere where I could do this? Disabling the option in the graphics drivers does nothing. Are you planning to increase the number of graphics options in the game in the future? I have a low spec PC. Thanks for any information.
