At Shockfront, we care deeply about three things: nuclear weapons, realistic physics, and detailed damage models. Every new aircraft goes through rigorous crash testing to make sure we get it just right; the new cargo aircraft is still far from being finished but we couldn't resist… Was slamming it full-speed into the side of a Dynamo strictly necessary? Probably not. Would we do it again? Absolutely. Rate our landing out of 10. #ComingSoon #NuclearOption #NuclearOptionGame #ShockfrontStudios #CombatFlightSimulator #Nukes

That's no eclipse... just a 60-ton Darkreach casting a very long shadow. The absolute last thing you want to see flying overhead.

Let’s be honest: is it really a Brawler sortie if you return with both wings and engines all attached? Continuing our community artwork feature, this awesome illustration submitted by pancakei perfectly captures the average CAS experience in Nuclear Option. Dodging a wall of lead and IR SAMs (10km range, we want them everywhere), this pilot is earning every single cent of that "Hazard Pay". #CommunityArtwork #NuclearOption #NuclearOptionGame #ShockfrontStudios #CombatFlightSimulator #FlightSimulator #PCGaming
