They weren't that small. I'm sure everyone has seen the horrific photos of the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It seems absurd to me that I could drop an infinite number of nukes on Japan, and Japan will keep on fighting as long as they hold onto one core. Historically, Japan controlled all of Korea, most of southeast Asia and significant parts of China as of August 1945.
That may be true. But Japan IRL did not surrender because of the atomic bombs. Indeed many of the motivators so to speak for Japanese surrender can’t be discussed on this forum, and most certainly not replicated in game.
