Waiting moment, when we can stand next to nuke that has timer 10 seconds, than you can see small cinematics how it destroys your tank and rest of map lol. But of course it would be cool, to show all kills and teamkills :D, jk...
For me it is very nice.
War....war never changes.
Cool! Now, how will it look like in game?
Stop trying to cater to the "muh Call of Doody" crowd
WOW! This is incredible! Outstanding work, Gaijin. Love it!
So.... do I get kicked for team killing when I drop this nuke? Asking for a friend. lol
So, game nuke went from tactical kiloton size (about 10k ton) to megaton power that will put a crater in map and blow up players GPU.... Does look amazing, though (movie, when?) PS: never knew there was a statue for airmen in game? Where? US map?
I just hope that they finally add the ability to paradrop certain tanks into a ground battle. (I have suggested this on the forums if you're interested please check it out.)
U cant fix Ur game bugs instead add and change useless things in it really U are amazing.
