ThunderHQ / Nuclear Escalation
Mission Progression and Objective Priorities
Look at the score and the front before loading up again. The job that helped five minutes ago may no longer be the one your team needs.
Check the battle before spawning again
Look at the team score, remaining objectives, supply columns and where your teammates are working. Respawns let you change jobs as the match develops, so you don’t have to bring the same load every time.
There’s no set order you have to follow. Your team might need fighter cover immediately, or an exposed convoy might be worth hitting before a distant base.
Back to contents ↑What does your team need next?
| What’s happening | Try this | Then check |
|---|---|---|
| Fighters keep intercepting your attackers | Cover their approach or intercept the fighters. | Are your teammates getting in and out now? |
| A SAM site blocks the target | Suppress or destroy the site covering the route. | Is it destroyed, just quiet, or still firing? |
| Enemy supplies keep reaching the front | Hit the convoys or the facilities supplying them. | Are more columns arriving or taking another route? |
| Your target has already been destroyed | Choose another target or head home. | Do your remaining weapons and fuel suit the new attack? |
| A nuclear aircraft is available | Check its cost, the target and the cover you can get. | Will the strike help with the battle you’re in? |
Check whether supplies are still getting through
Convoys can reroute and factories and warehouses can recover. After a strike, check the map again. You may need to hit the next column, the building supplying it or the defenses protecting the road.
The October 5 increases to supply capacity give you another reason to watch what’s still moving. Destroying one convoy doesn’t prove you’ve cut off that part of the front.
Back to contents ↑Use the last flight to plan the next one
- Work out what you achieved: a target destroyed, a teammate protected or a route cleared. If you had to turn back, remember what stopped you.
- Choose the next aircraft and weapons for what needs doing now.
- Leave enough fuel and countermeasures to get home. Surviving a successful attack lets you rearm and do it again.
- Keep watching the score and remaining objectives. A nuke or main-base kill doesn’t mean the match is over.
