Game Director BVV_d has posted on the forum about Nuclear Escalation and also talks a bit about plans for new modes that we want to release throughout the summer. Give it a read!

We plan to bring back the event in a few weeks, with the current top tier (probably split into 2 BR sets) and the escalation mode players experienced during April 1st at lower BR. We understand top tier is not for everybody, but we wanted to test it for balance / bug fixing reasons.
We've extended the Nuclear Escalation event to July 6, and deployed a patch to balanced anti-air units between teams:
- BUK-M3: reload time has been increased from 20 seconds to 30 seconds
- Improved SHORAD protecting SAMP/T sites
- Improved SAMP/T sites (two sets of 1x TADS and 2x TEL)
The next Pages of History will go live tomorrow, in-game objectives inspired from real operations to be completed for trophy rewards!

We've released an update fixing a number of issues:
- Significant performance drop when your radar was turned on
- Cyclic target switching not switching targets with ESA radars
- The ability to fire with a destroyed BUK-M3 TADS has been removed
For tanks with a Battle Rating of 12.7, APFSDS shells available without researching any modifications have been replaced (details in the patchnote)

Nuclear Escalation is back! After testing on the dev server, we're ready to launch the mode on the main servers again!
- All nations allowed
- Larger frontline
- 13 to 14.7 battle rating
- Improved marker system
- Reworked AA fire control system
- Until July 1st

We're not aiming short term, this kind of event / gameplay was requested by players for a really long time and require a lots of tests and adjustments. We're testing 13-14.7 for now as part of this process, but we don't want to rush it because there are a lot of new mechanism, and a lot of potential bugs or unbalance to nail down first.
@namekznw The map is gigantic and you don't have to defend against AMRAAMS the entire match :D
You have to defend against long range SAM systems tho, but it's part of the core event loop with dedicated SEAD missions to boop them, lower the pressure and allow your team to progress deeper.
We've published a blog post on a hot topic, duplicate vehicles. We know this has become an important topic for many players, so if you're interested, have a look!
