I like how the game treats you as a demon who unleashed open nuclear warfare to the world after you fire your first nuke despite literally starting with the indiscriminate terrorist nuking of the Imperial Capital.
So let me get this straight You're a ship equipped to shoot planes down and launch nuclear weapons You're guarding a city You see planes attacking the city, but accidentally launch nukes after them Things go very wrong very quickly Am I getting it right?
Kinda, but not exactly. The enemy ships would obliterate my fleet. So I launched missiles at almost point blank range as a last ditch attempt to destroy them. It kinda worked, however their fleet turned around and landed at the city, coincidentally also the main objective of the map. And the last two missiles followed them...
This is actually an accident because he intends to bait out the Strike Groups, and have the Nuke hit them in the air (resulting in no damage to the reactor) but 2 nukes went through to the SGs on the ground, and those blew up the reactor in the process.
since my fleet was faster, i outmaneuvered them and went straight for the city. I thought the campaign will be over if i take it (it was my first attempt). Of course they followed me, ending up in one big blob apparently
All intercepted missiles also can be "partially intercepted", when they are damaged enough to lose guidance, but not enough to stop being danger. Same thing with succesfully dodged missiles that lost tracking - getting down on "dodged" missile while trying to perform evasive maneuvers in Lighning is as Highfleet as it gets.
@@burningsinner1132 Do partially intercepted missiles also become impervious to flares? (I suppose they would if they are rendered dumbfire by damage.)
I literally did this my first playthrough, seeing how I couldn't win, I was basically out of money and my ships heavily damaged, but I had enough fuel to get to Khiva and Nuke it into oblivion, feels good man Nemu me impune lacessit
also why does burrying the reactor make you lose the game? i thought hte objective was to take over the reactor so the enemy cant use it to make new nukes or whatever. this makes it so you cant use it
i mean clearly there a ton of methane avalible to use, and wind and solar would work great since the population is so sparse. also how does that 1 reactor power everything without people fuckign with the wires and stuff? couldnt the ppl who control the reactor just turn off the wires that go to the enemies base?

i am actually surprised that the nukes basically did.... well not that much to those ships. I mean its a nuke. every single strikegroupd this close together should be annihilated from just 1 warhead. also we dont know about the actual strength of those warheads but except when they detonated close to the ships. they basically did diddly dick. exceppt burying the reactor of course XD

The bikini atoll tests prove that a steel battleship can easily survive the atmksphearic shockwave from a nuclear detonation, so unless the ship in question is directly inside the plasma ball, it wont take much damage in the game either.
In real nuclear tests they found out that main battle tanks are VERY resilient against nuclear explosions. In a British test, an obsolete tank built in 1945 had a 9 kiloton nuke (middle of the road for a tactical nuke, usually ranging from 0.3 to 20 kilotons) blown up less than 500 yards away from it, and it was still drivable afterwards.
