What kind of damage can a nuclear warhead deliver? Can it wipe out 36 enemy armies fortified to the hilt in single province or does it deliver mostly infrastracture damage (crippling land/naval forts, airfields, ports?)

Can a nuke be attached to a strategic/tactical bomber, or rocket only?

As of yet, I have focused on conventional forces, but wondering....

Nukes can be attached to strat bombers and rockets. I tend to use them tactically-like in conjunction with an amphibious assault. From what I can tell, they don't outright destroy most units in the province-although they do destroy some-but they do bring all units down to close to about 0 org, along with strength hits. If possible, I tend to follow up nuke strikes with ground attack. Basically, if you nuke a province, you will win any battle you have going on there. Of course, I have had that plan fail when I nuked a US coastal province right before amphib. assaulting-what i didn't factor in was how fast the US can reinforce-and I only had one nuke. I should have done log. strikes to prevent quick reinforcement.

Fart in a spacesuit.

unpleasant but ultimately as scary. They really should have a more powerful effect (with populations etc).

As the research shows, where do you get the 50% energy increase promised at your reactor?

ive always thought nukes should increase the dissent of the target country when you nuk'em...

Like when japan capitulated after being asskicked by to nukes...

Nukes doesnt really make much sense in this game... There usefull yes, but hopelessly unrealistic...
