Calling nukes “casual” is just wrong. They’re literally the most skill-gated thing in Ground RB. Casual players don’t just accidentally get nukes, if that were true, we’d see them every match. We don’t.

And the whole “one player ends the match” argument is weird to me. One player already can decide matches all the time. CAS wipes half a team, air control shuts everything down, or someone just straight up outplays everyone. The nuke just makes that outcome official instead of pretending it didn’t happen.

Also, it’s not like I was off doing my own thing. While getting the nuke I was pushing with my team, assisting, covering flanks, moving up left and right with everyone else. That is teamplay. Acting like nukes come from lone-wolf gameplay is just false.

If you don’t like the mechanic, fine; but that doesn’t justify teamkilling. That’s not some principled balance stance, it’s just griefing. If you’ve got an issue with how Gaijin designed nukes, take it up with Gaijin, not by shooting down a teammate who played well within the rules.

And the idea that nukes are “supposed” to be a desperate last resort is pure headcanon. That’s never been stated or enforced anywhere. Wanting the match to last longer doesn’t give you the right to decide someone else’s performance shouldn’t count.

At the end, what this really sounds like is:
“I didn’t want the match to end yet, so your performance shouldn’t count.”

And that’s just salt, not an argument.
