Most effective Nuke carrying weapon in Defcon

[Mintos]

Whats the most effective Nuclear armed vessel/building in Defcon?

Launching sites?
Bombers?
Subs?

I'm so l33t I don't need nukes to win.

[DueAccident]

I would say subs. Perfect placement, at the opportune moment can win the war for you.
Basically a round-about way of saying the right place at the right time.

I'm not so good with bombers, and they tend to be very hit and miss with me.

I use my superior diplomatic skills to convince the other players to destroy each other, leaving me the winner.

Nukes are for pansies. I drop bombers on my targets.

bombers, the pro's choice

"lest you even deserve my subs..."

I don't think you understand. I don't use bombers to launch nukes – I drop bombers. Fighters work, too.

my apologies i seem to have misread your incredibly sharp wit.

back on the subject

mintos...
bombers/subs ftw.... save your silos for the traitors.

I say launching sites. The only way for them to fail you is if, they are discovered and destroyed. Or if the nukes themselves are shot down.

Both the bombers, subs, and the nukes they fire can be easily destroyed by many factors...

So launching sites all the way. Thats why I keep asking the devs to increase their number ingame! I think it would be even more fun with just a small number of added silos! 2-5 in big world mode!

Bombers are best. You don't risk to have them standing right under a fleet of six carriers, if they launch from maximum range, the silos have no chance to shoot them (the bombers) down - or you can have them bombing from a distance of nearly zero, if you launch a few additional nukes - the silos will target the nukes first, and your bombers can just fly through and drop their precious cargo from right above the target.

AND bombers are the only way to attack an opponent without warning him first as he doesn't get a 'XXX launch detected' message.

[GrandfatherBones]

Bombers. definitely.
Boom

[Darksun]

Subs are good for the popup attacks - wait for the enemy to drop it's guard and then launch a massive strike. Bombers are quite good for taking out strategic targets as soon as Defcon 1 hits.

I rarely use silos to launch nukes, only as an occasional parting blow when the enemies have been mostly obliterated

[NeoThermic]

I use fighters & bombers in defcon 3, like xander does

OK how do you do that?

[A. Smith]

either:
A) make them run out of fuel right over the target
B) make themg et shot down over a city.

there you go!
