WAR THUNDER NUKE UPDATE
The nuclear weapon unlock was soon expanded to ground realistic battles in Update "Ixwa Strike" on 10 March 2021, with the unlock criteria being 3,000 spawn points. This was further modified in Update "Hot Tracks" by reducing the number of required airstrike points from 20 to 15. The eligible battle ratings to spawn a nuclear-armed vehicle expanded to battle-rating 6.0 upwards in the November 19th update.
WAR THUNDER NUKE MANUAL
The unlock criteria to fly a nuclear weapon-armed aircraft was 20 airstrike points (obtained by the manual destruction of 20 enemy tanks and aircraft or through other means, such as scouting, without using a "bomber"). The nuclear weapons are unavailable in battles with helicopters randomly chosen as the air support. Upon its introduction, nuclear weapons were originally available for ground arcade battles from battle-rating 7.3 upwards, spawning in a similar manner as the available aircraft. Upon rebooting the game, players will login to their new hangar location introduced in Update "New Power", which will then show a nuclear explosion happening in a distance away, symbolizing the destruction of the old hangar that was used prior to Update "New Power". A countdown timer with sirens popped up for the player, counting down until a bright flash and an explosion engulfs the screen, with the game simply telling the player "Get ready for War Thunder: New Power" that prompts the player to restart the game. This culminated into a unique event when the update was released on 17 November 2020. Nuclear weapons for applications in ground battles were teased during the build-up of Update "New Power", with the teaser video ending with a large, bright explosion in an overcast setting.

Fulfilling this objective ends the match in favor of the capturing team's side. The concept of a player-launched nuclear weapon was teased as far back as the War Thunder 2018 April Fool's event Silent Thunder, where one of the objective is for player-controlled submarines to capture specific points on the map in order to enable them to fire their onboard cruise or ballistic missiles, some of which are implied as being armed with a nuclear warhead. Successful deployment of the bomb will end the game instantly in favour of the team that first dropped their nuclear armament.

Nuclear weapons in War Thunder allowed skilled players who accumulate enough airstrike points in arcade or spawn points in realistic ground battles to pilot a nuclear weapon-armed aircraft into the battlefield and drop a nuclear bomb.
