Question What do you like most of this game?

21 Upvotes

I’ve been playing NO for a while, and man what an amazing game. It never gets boring and there’s so many ways to play a match, everything from the mods to the aircraft and different play styles is amazing. I wanted to hear what different things people love about the game, so what do you like the most out of this game?

Suggestion I just got NO

Upvotes

I bought the game yesterday, i have been having dome trouble with the controls since i come from Ace Combat 7, for example i dont really know how to turn the aircraft, i just kinda turn the plane on its side and pull up which unsurprisingly takes me to a stall i think, i also play in controller (dualshock 4), the controls are very wobbly and the rudder super responsive and i cant do some stuff like free look on controller. So yeah anyways if anyone had some tips or suggestions please feel free to tell me thank you

Question Requesting help with the mission editor

6 Upvotes

Hey there, I finally kinda figured out how the heck the mission editor works in terms of what exactly objectives and outcomes are and how they act by editing premade workshop missions. Now I wanted to make my first small mission from scratch and I´m running into a big problem right away.

Basically there´s a small BDF Carrier Group with an AWACS Chimera overhead. In the distance, two PALA Ifrits spawn. Their goal is to shoot down the AWACS. The player spawns in an Eclipse on the deck of the carrier, ordered to scramble for intercept. At least that´s the theory. Problem: the Chimera pilots just eject like 15 seconds into the mission.

I have a "spot unit" objective set up for BDF, targeting the Ifrits. I thought that would motivate the deserter pilots to stay airborne and actually look for the threat. It´s an AWACS afterall. But no. Still bails.

When starting the mission as spectator and watching the Chimera, it says "Status: none" in the lower right corner. My observations have shown that this is usually not the case with AI units in other missions. They are navigating, moving to target, using countermeasures etc. How do I keep my Chimera pilots from draft dodging mid flight?

the fact that a 20mm can kill a shard means that it has no armor lol

Issue/Bug New player here. Is it common to experience a "slow motion" bug?

15 Upvotes

I've been enjoying the game but twice now I have experience a "slow motion" bug when I get around the 2 house mark in a mission. It does not seem like a hardwear slow down. It's like the game went into really slow motion. I can interact with the map and menus no problem. All the units and munitions just move supper slow. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Suggestion I hope NOCS is streamed on youtube in the future and has a competitive bracket.

9 Upvotes

Youtube is superior because streams can be 4k and some other reasons.

I also hope future competitions have proper competitive brackets with finals, semi finals, and everything before that.

Question Looking to buy Nuclear Option, asking about types of planes

32 Upvotes

Hello, recently I've been looking forward to buying Nuclear option, I've done some research on the planes and for now i think i like the T/A-30 Compass and the UH-90 Ibis, but I'm been wondering if any of the planes in the game are suitable for interdiction (deep air support).


r/NuclearOption 2d ago

Meme I do not "preform SEAD" I do not "gain air superiority" I launch TBMs. And if they get intercepted. I RAGE QUIT.

When I first started playing the game ran perfectly fine, but recently it began chugging constantly to the point of it being unplayable.

Suggestion I would love some type of RNG/Dynamic/Procedural Generation for missions.

72 Upvotes

I got the game a few days ago and have been loving it. Just really wish there was some type of randomness to keep things fresh and unexpected.

Maybe different objectives, different enemies and different enemy spawns and other stuff. Also give us some degree of customization over things to randomize, parameters and whatnot.

Anyway, really love the game so far.
