I (and a lot of others) find that Anti Air craft fire can shoot down ICBMs a bad joke! It's not, missiles are extremely easy to intercept The US had ABM capability back in the late 50's, politics interfered however and ABM usage is minimal I really wish DEFCON (hint, hint developers) could make a t...

Anyone every read the novel The Big One Or the associated works here I'd like to see a map mod using this interpretation of the world circa 1980 in the "TBOverse" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/fedrebel/TBO1980.gif USA, Caliphate, 'Chipan', South Africa, Russia, and the Triple Alli...

They're on an independent system

The worst you can do is mess with the payrolls

Its just senstionalist bull MAD bias is so heavily in favor of the US today, it's not even funny Russia's defenses are rusting away (what with that 15 hour gap where they won't even know if a pigeon takes a shit on Putin's head), and they have fewer nukes than they did in the 80's The PRC only has 1...

A while back someone at another forum I ffrequent contributed this information How effective was the Soviet nuclear arsenal during the Cuban Missile Crisis? Deployable against the United States? Virtually nil. Their ICBM was the R-7, a missile that had a detectable reaction time of 20 hours (the det...

This thing works perfect for me in Defcon 1.0

Wow! A crappy movie about Skynet's and Colossus' retarded sibling

If I want a nuclear war movie from the eighties, i'll watch "The Day After" it's going for $9.99 USD, brand new on DVD

I mentioned this in another thread and have been thinking about it more.. Imagine a game mod that, during an extended DefCon 4, you place AND program your weapons and assets. You move this fleet there and program them to launch fighters and bombers here, here, and here. You program this silo to lau...

U.S. Just enough room U.K. no where enough room, and in real life all their nukes now live in SSBM's Russia You seem to have forgotten the other fourteen republics, and Putin try as he might can't launch wothout approval from the other CIS (Confederacy of Independent States a.k.a former USSR) repub...

No, but it'd be fun especially considering the hypothetical Cold War "Spread the Love" policies

It'd be interesesting to see a Red Alert mod

I think it could work if it is limited to a map of the US only. If so, it would be interesting. I think you would have to have the 2 territories per person on permanently, but it'd be interesting. What would you use for determining red or blue? There's been big changes from midterm elections. Shatt...

This is nice mod, but the bombers become worthless

Is there any way to increase their range?

shinygerbil wrote:By the way, has anyone tried the mod yet?

Yes, and it's very well done

I can't wait for the new icons

when using a custom map, does every player have to have that same mod to play it? or can one person have say a banana map while another has a world map? Your new to modding in general, correct. In Multiplayer all players must have the same map, or the game will crash It should be common sense with ...
