Fighting Players and Dodging Nuclear Weapons! | Nuclear Option 

I'm so happy this didn't turn into another early access game that died out the gate, the updates have been awesome. I've been revisiting this week too and love it, it even has a small online playerbase, unheard of for an indy flight game in early access

This game DESERVES more attention. It's on it's way to being astonishing if THIS is basically 25% of the planned game total.

Wakes up from black-out. "That's not good." smashing straight into the hill side 😂

Fun fact! You can move the ground forces by clicking on them on the map, then clicking where you want to send them

Been playing this game so much in the last week when I decided to just dive in. Such a good game for being to EA. Glad to see another video on it.

As a huge fan of the early to mid 2000s flight games on my PS2. I feel that this is the spiritual successor to the PS2 game "Dropship"

check the workshop i spent hours working on adding to escalation "Total War Escalation" i made it a tad more difficult to just punch any old hole in the defenses by air and set up defence points on the ground for both sides to stem the spawnslaught

In case you haven't figured out, this game supports HOTAS and Track IR, definitely recommend

3:50 "I survived!" smacks into earth going mach damn

Great video. Keep featuring this game imo, it deserves a large player base and people supporting the small dev team!

Happy 4th of July Devildog! Thank you for the awesome content, been watching since the ARMA 2 MSO days :D loving your work! Stay Awesome!

I remember when it came out looks like they added cool stuff

I love this game. Really hope the devs keep going and it gets more attention. Would be crazy if it got to the point where there were multiple 100 player servers.

I think it's funny that he crashed after a black out. Many modern planes have terrain avoidance that take over after high G maneuvers and no pilot input.

Love that SDI spot!

4:31 he didn't know until he woke up

You can enable TRACKir in the settings if you have it. I thought I remember you using one for DCS, the planes all have HMD which is awesome

Hey Devildog, I just want you to know about a few of the games mechanics. You can switch to a jammer when flying jets to help lose radar guided missles (SARH, and ARH) but that requires you to either hug the terrain or "notch" the missles (fly perpendicular to the radar emitter). If the missile warning says "SARH", that is a Semi-active Radar Homing missile. so flares do nothing and you need to hide from the emitter (the launcher), hug the ground (jammer helps this) or notch it (jammer helps this too but it's very hard to do). If the missile warning says "ARH", that's an Active Radar Homing missile, so it has it's own radar emitter and is hard as hell to evade, hide or notch but also know that it was a plane launched missile (the same ones you were using) so that tells you the threat is close-ish. Oh and for when you are attacked by an IR missile, Throttle down is very important less so for crickets and for the ifrit and revoker (the planes with afterburners) they have to be throttled down for a while for the IR to lose em making close to mid-range IR missiles a death sentence for em.

about time! This game is absolutely needing more attention

This video has 900 likes and 0 dislikes. That's a solid community right there.

can you use track ir?

looks better than war thunder tbh. especially TGPs and all displays. quite modern. reminds me of early flight sims like Falcon 4 etc. They are still relevant and better than most of the AAA sims out there.

"Oh shit I just blacked out." "That's not good."

You can switch to the radar jammer countermeasure (default is v to switch I believe) and it just increases the height of the radar floor and can shake off most SARH missiles and help notch ARHs

I enjoy this game a lot. It’s really good with an Xbox controller as well

love the aircraft damage effects

Nuclear option is so much fun man

4:32 cartoon logic

wow looks good. maybe ill reinstall. i wish there were a little more variance in the smoke columns.

All this SDI sponsorships... inb4 garandthumb or micah mayfield collab. I'd love to see Mike play GZW.

When I bought this thinking it wouldn't be any good I ended up playing for a solid 10 hours in one sitting

I saw a Air force veteran play this game but with flying controls I forgot what's it called

Ive never played the pvp (my internet sucks) But really enjoying the game so far.

The game is amazing, though for the times I am feeling really lazy, I wish I could just turn on Ace Combat mode. Where it controls almost identical to Ace Combat. Sometimes trying to flying feels a bit much for me. Though I realize I am in the minority.

Bought it, thank you DevilDog

Happy Independence Day SEMPER FI

Played this Game too, a few times, but my Game alway Kills the Configuration of the Hotas SSystem so, after one or two Rounds Bammmmm all Button and Stick Assignments are gone. :(

You play with a controller? MKB? Or A joystick/flightstick??

Does the F-35 have a tracking camera like that? I just did a quick search and it has a second frikin mini-cockpit underneath, idk if it does the same thing as the camera in this video though.

does it have flight stick compatibility?

more pls

hmm this is cool

This game is just stupid, stupid good... If anyone watching this is on the fence.. just get it.

Asuh dudes

Holy, last time I've watched one of your videos was back when you still were making Space Engineers content like 8 years ago... damn am I old. Glad to be back.

Tommy Tough-Knuckles here, i smoked your ass in that lobby and you edited it out :(

I love this game, ive been playing since it was released. So happy theyve added building destruction so i can "accidentally" drop a 20kt on the main city😅

I thought i saw you in a server the other night and went "nawww can't be him" lol

amazing

Really happy you posted this because i forgot about this game and now i've been binge playing it lol
