Strategic bombers with nuclear bombs are coming to War Thunder!

We’re excited to introduce a new vehicle type to War Thunder: strategic bombers capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear armaments! They’ll be joining the research trees and making a big splash in combined battles. You may have seen nuclear detonations in War Thunder before — but not often. Strategic aviation will change everything!
Time for big explosions: within a single battle, you’ll be able to move from the familiar high explosive bombs to tactical and then strategic nuclear weapons. What kind of shockwave can ground vehicle armor withstand? Will the AA guns and missiles manage — especially considering aircraft will receive anti-radiation missiles to suppress them? Under these new conditions, air superiority will be decisive!

Comments will be premoderatedSo the nukes are part of the normal armement of a plane that can carry nukes, bit unfair for people who dont have these giant bombers
Will the game end when a bomb is dropped?
What ??? is this 1st april fool or real update? Snail finally found a use for high tier bombers
Oh boy oh boy can't wait to finish work now
Me on my way to donate a Red Top to a TU-95 like the snail intended.
Nuclear Option!?
lwk just give me B-52 with napalm and ill be happy
Wait, so you are removing the 2500SP nuke planes? What about the sense of achievement in earning one? If everyone can drop nukes soon how will that work? Are the map sizes going to be increased? Because even a "tactical" nuclear strike would level every bit of most maps currently in the game.
So i destroy all bases on the map with a single nuke, I hope
oooohhhhhhhh helll yes
