Hey Guys, I know I am just a guest on the server and forums; but can we have Nukes removed from the available weapons list? It sucks after a long hard fought battle that Red can just drop a nuke and be done with it. It's bad enough when friendly CAP leaves the ground pounders out to dry.

Offender: VFS-33rd Doc.

I can provide Tacview of the event if anyone cares to see it.

We'd rather ban/warn/kick/scream than limit the airfield ordnance options, AFAIK that does something to stability or file size (or both, IDK!).

To my knowledge the only mission where they're allowed to be used is one of the versions of Cold War which is limited to Fishbeds and F5s, but even on that I'd definitely be amenable to removing them from that as well. I don't know exactly how or why they did end up being a part of it, but I'm in full agreement that it's ridiculous. Especially in the context of Fishbed vs. F-5; the MiG-21 can zoom in at Mach 2 while the F-5 can barely break Mach 1.1. There's no hope of actually intercepting them and preventing a nuke drop.

If they used it on a mission where it wasn't specifically allowed in the briefing or in-game pop-up messages, they'd be risking a ban. But I recognize Doc as a regular so I'm betting it was on a mission where it's allowed.

Yeah, I think the ban-on-site policy is serving us fine thus far. Hasn't cropped up more than once every couple months.

My only issue is that if there's gonna be a mission that allows nukes, the side defending against them needs more than F-5s to do it. Cold War with the full complement of F-15s and M2000s and whatnot would be fine with nukes, imo.

The mission was Moapa 2, for those that are interested. Further when I asked him in chat if he dropped a Nuke, he said "nah man" and promptly disconnected.

Yeah, we confirmed that it was not on an appropriate mission. Bad things are in his (and his confederate's) future. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!
