Bomb dropping

[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]

Could someone please do a tutorial on how to drop nukes without getting them intercepted or myself getting shot down?
Here is what I do
I take off from the airport and fly to my target (28-33 KM) and when the system tells me to shoot they always get intercepted or I get shot down. Any help?

idk get like a million gajillion bombs. they will always be intercepted

[SonukYildiz]

you first need to take down aa, in case for bombs the main culprit here is SPAAG's

another method is get tons of PAB-80LR's and make a saturation attack. PAB-80LR specifically because it is a small bomb, making it harder to get intercepted, it can glide so you can safely bomb and load tons of them

I personally first get a plane and load crap tons of PAB-80LR's and bomb the aa defenses, radars, anything that can stop me. Then I switch to nukes

That's not much of a tutorial, but it's truth. You need to eliminate AA, since in this game it shoots down bombs and missiles. I prefer stand-off missile attacks against radar and AA in the Darkwing, but you could just as easily use Chicanes and Lynchpins.

The game has a difficult time dealing with saturation attacks and alpha strikes, so that's what you use. Most carpet bombing doesn't affect a large area, though, so you have to be patient and keep chipping away, one SPAAG at a time, all while denying the OPFOR.

You can sometimes lob in a nuke and get it to catch AA right at the edge of the nuke's blast, that can work as well. Again, because you are literally using a nuclear bomb to destroy a truck, it will take many passes before you eliminate enough of the AA.

Don't forget, when it comes to doing strikes against AA/Radar, you can target things on the map, even before takeoff.

Conventional dumb bombs are much more durable than nukes, nothing embodying this more than the Auger - that thing basically ignores SPAAGs.
If you don't have time/just don't want to clear out the air defense, lead your nuke with some 250s or something. The SPAAGs and R-SAMs will tend to target the closest munitions.

before dropping a nuke on a base try taking down the Stratolances, Boltstrikes, Aerosentries, and Anvils for the best possible chance for your nuke to hit

[LS-33 "Wraith"]

they at 15km+ alt, invert DIRECTLY above target and dive. Release 15 250kg bombs and then your 2 nukes. works pretty often

It like playing jenga, you got to take out piece by piece and make holes in the defense before you can destroy everything, reason you target enemy anti air, this game more like a arcade DSC not like ace combat, you get the fun and feel of ace combat when you start destroying thing but begin thinking of yourself as the best and the game will smack you hard with reality that you need to be tactical and smart too
