2 questions on AI nukes

[unmerged(49948)]

I was playing a game as Japan and I notcied my ally Germany had all of the nuclear techs and weapon tehcs resaerched in 1950. But i noticed they didnt have any reactors. So i loaded up and put a serial run of 3 int he produciton qeue.

Except they put them in Aachen, which is bombed by the allies eveyrday, and they had no AA or radar in it. And they could not produce nukes with level 3 reactors.

So how does the AI choose where to put a nuclear facility?
And what level reactor do you need to produce them,a nd is it defifferent for the ai?

Because i thought i remembered buuilding nukes wiht level 3 reactors, maybe my meory is fading...

minimum required was level 6 i guess..

If you edit the savegame or .ai so that they will build nuclear reactors or rocket test sites, they always put them in the capital in HoI2 1.2+. (Previously, you could set their preferred province in the .ai file.)

But in this game Germany put it in Aachen in 1951.

Really? That would mean that the AI would never be able to build a nuclear bomb (if the reactor is not already present in the scenario setup). If that was true what is the point of the doomsday expansion ?

That does seem a bit of a shame...

It would be nice in a German 1936 GC having to fear that either the USA or the USSR might develop nukes sometime between 1944-1953...sort of an extra challenge.

I guess in a future German 1936 GC I might contemplate editing the US AI files to to give the USA AI a level 6 reactor.

You said you loaded up as them and did the building - the AI chooses to put reactors in its capital.

in hearts of iron 2 vanilla the AI did build nukes from time to time ... that means a step back ?
