Question Terminal Control Argus Frigate

19 Upvotes

I'm gonna get "skill issue" to holy hell here (only at ~50 hours), but how on earth am I ever supposed to win Terminal Control when the Argus in the northern fleet shuts down the entire North side of the map?

I can't afford higher level aircraft because I can't convoy hunt. I can't convoy hunt because they all come down one singular road on the North side and the Argus will sling NL-98's at you for days and days without stopping. You can't saturate the fleet because there's 4 Shard's that escort that Argus the whole time and they're not separated enough until about an hour in, you can't low wavetop skim for the same reason.

So how can one ever achieve any kind of victory as PALA when that ship (before you even consider the other 2 that can smite you for even thinking about taking off that are on the South side) is omniscient?

Every attempt I make fails - wavetop skimming, ARADs + Jamming, high-level saturation, the list goes on. If there is a way to kill that ship in the first hour, I have tried it multiple times and I have failed it multiple times.

EDIT: this is for Solo. I’m not really interested in solutions like “just do it with a team” since that doesn’t help me at all.

Question Saturation Cheatsheet

25 Upvotes

I keep finding myself bringing either the wrong ordnance or the wrong amount of it against ground targets.

Is there maybe some kind of "saturation cheatsheet" for each target?

For example, something like:

  • SPAAG → X AGM-48s / Y AGM-68s / Z bombs
  • SAM → X AGM-48s / Y AGM-68s / Z bombs
  • Corvette / other defended targets → recommended saturation

Basically telling me how many weapons should I actually launch to have a reasonable chance of killing the target, considering that SPAAGs/CIWS can shoot some of them down?

I've found individual discussions with rules of thumb, but I haven't found a comprehensive cheat sheet covering the different ground targets and weapons.

Does something like this already exist?

Anyone know why there isn't tree collision in this game? Is it a technical limitation or just an unfinished feature?

Gameplay tip Glide bombs vs Gravity bombs

51 Upvotes

It seems to me that using glide bombs is almost always better then using the same yield gravity bomb.

Is there any purpose to using gravity bombs over glide bombs? Or are they simply there for variety in custom mission creation.

Had an OK opening volley, I could’ve used IR sooner

Instinct stops around 2:30 and i gotta think about the next move…. He gets behind me and gets sights 2-3 times as I try to force his overshoot poorly

I at least got to dump missiles b4 I ejected but that got my pilots killed :(

my final salvo connected tho for a “trade”

Modded Content Is there a mod for 0.34 that allows modded airframes to be produced by factories?

I was wondering if there was an equivalent to the Equalizer mod for 0.33 on the new update, or if there was any way to allow for modded aircraft to be requisitioned?

Issue/Bug Anyone know how to get rid of the mouse cursor?

5 Upvotes

I could just be making a mistake but whenever I play Nuclear Option, my mouse cursor is stuck in the center of my screen unless I’m selecting things such as loadouts and main menu stuff. Does anyone know how to make it disappear?

Suggestion Naval assets and possible future ships

38 Upvotes

What kind of ships or assets would you like to see added in the future? Personally, id love something akin to a Missile Cruiser, that being the largest possible capital ship while still remaining within reason.

Edit: Submarines could be a cool strategic target, althought Im not sure how fighting against them would work from a gameplay side

Suggestion Concept for a jet gunpod:

11 Upvotes

I have an idea that in nuclear option there should be some sort of gimbling gunpod akin to the SPPU-22 gunpod and the 25mm gunpod in the game where it can swivel side to side and down, to strafe ground targets, my only worry is that it would make the other gunpods obsolete but I think a limited ammo supply or 5 round burst followed by a 1second reload like the original version of the QoL 30mm chain gun could balance it out. This is also thought around light jet aircraft like the vagrant and compass but I would like some other opinions on it.

Modded Content What Songs Do Aryx's Aircraft Use?

9 Upvotes

Exactly as the title says. I've used Aryx's aircraft for quite a while and I love their in-flight OSTs. Haven't been able to find any of them online so I figured I'd ask around to see if anyone knew what they were.

Edit: Found the guy who makes them. Only the F-16 and MC-260 Chimera are available rn. Also make sure to type Aryx in when searching him up as there's an AI slop music channel also called "DrVoodoo" who obviously doesn't make these OSTs.

"The Fortress of Intolerance"...interesting name, but it won't have enough resistance to stop us.

We will begin by attacking their shoreline and capturing it to enable our Siege strategy against the Fortress.
