Well, if the enemy has Subs off your coast then there is no way in hell that your silos will be back in defense mode in time. :D So I think that unless your launching an all out attack its best firing from your silos in bursts of 1-2 nukes, then switching them back to defense mode. Ideally having ne...

When enemy silos are launching missiles they can't shoot down incoming enemy nukes. So when the AI player goes for it and launches, your subs are free to strike. My second game, against one AI USA, I did somehting like this, playing as Russia. I had six subs each side of the USA, and the AI got all ...

Lasertrout got it there. IRL with such limited defenses against Nuclear strikes is the only reason that full scale Nuclear war has not erupted yet. Which is why the USA should not develop its anti-ICBM programs, should not put lasers in space to swat down incoming warheads etc. And as for Nuclear Pr...

If we were worried about realism, then yes, straight missile paths would be the way to go. But it seems (and this is my opinion) that the curved paths are part of the game balance too. I just think the balance seems off (and counterintuitive) when it comes to long distance nuking. No, the missiles ...

Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but the arcs are in game because of the fact that the shortest distance between two points on a sphere is not a straight line? Seems rather confusing at first, but I can fully understand why the arcs exist. Would be much easier to understand if the world was act...

Tell them to leave you be, since you may miss one of those incoming warheads and 'accidentally' let your entire office get nuked

Well I was planning on playing a bit before I went to work at ten o'clock... but stupid retarded steam didn't tell me about the 6 PM part.
