the lore of this game is pretty vague at the moment as i believe shockfront are busy fleshing out the gameplay before the lore, but what does the community expect from the world of nuclear option, if anything?

a capitalist dystopia? a former utopia just now beginning to form cracks with the BDF-PALA conflict? are we even on earth?

1. “OUT OF ARC” is often incorrect when it comes to weapons. Broadly speaking, most weapons can be fired at targets that are within the 180 degrees in front of your aircraft. Even more-so for the Scythe, which can literally hit targets behind you.

2. The above also applies to “TOO CLOSE”, except for the Scimitar. This can be taken as more of a suggestion, as some weapons might not be able to turn if you’re going too fast, but they are still very capable of hitting.

3. It will count as a successful sortie NO MATTER WHAT as long as the pilot is alive. It will also not count as a death.

4. You don’t have to taxie to have a successful takeoff. It’s fine if you want to LARP, but most aircraft (except the Darkreach) can take off from taxiways if you are in a hurry or just can’t be arsed.

5. You can land at >500 km/h. See tip 3, but also the “RAISE GEAR” can be completely ignored from my experience.

6. MCM (missile-counter-missile) is a VERY viable strategy. Every AAM can be used to shoot down incoming munitions to some extent, with the Scythe, S3 and S2 being the most consistent with it.

7. TBMs (ballistic missiles) can be very easily intercepted with Scythes or S3’s during their terminal phase.

don't really get the crave people have for it. no jammer, extremely limited armament, no survivability just seems like top tier scythe bait
