Can you Nuke yourself?

[Wimpola]

Not that this is recommended at all and I hope that it doesn't happen too much but can you nuke yourself to destroy important features such as military factories or infrastructure or even create a deadly wall that will keep the enemy from moving through that province. The only reason I mention this is what if your province has 12 factories and great boosts and then you nuke it and keep the enemy from securing the important resources in that province.

I don't think so ...

I would presume the political fallout from even suggestion doing it would quickly end the government in question, so probably not.

On a second note, why not simply wait until they seize it before nuking?

 

[Mac Lazer]

It seems a little over the top...

Part of what you're suggesting already has a name, the scorched earth policy. It's basically what Germany did in real life anyways. They destroyed as much of France as they could while they retreated from it, and wrecked all the German industry so the allies wouldn't capture it.

I wanna go full Helghast and nuke my capital for basically minor reasons!

You can simply destroy the factories before the enemy take them by "deleting" them, or you nuke them after they occupied those states.

As for reality for the "building a deadly wall", you'd need an insane amount of nuclear warheads to do that and even then wouldnt be able to stop the enemy troops. Radiation isnt as deadly as you might think, atleast short term. Radiation damages cells and the DNA, resulting in an increased risk of cancer. I am not reccomending sitting inside an nuclear crater of course, but granted one province in HoI IV is several dozend square kilometers big they should be fine.

I agree, nuking the province right after they take them makes more sense because you wouldn't be damaging enemy units if you nuked your own places.

plus you can simply delete factories in the state manually. You can do a scortched earth tactic, but only with factories. Infrastructure etc gets damaged from fighting in that state tho.

Will you be able to instantly delete factories or does it take time to disassemble/demolish them? I'm imagining a race of scorched-earth before an advancing front.

Mod the game so you can nuke yourself .
