DCS World Steam Edition
is there Tsar-bomb or any powerful Nuclear in this game ?
if yes does it show the Nuclear bomb effect ? or just a random damage ?

MiG-21 has the RN-24 and RN-28 tactical nukes, but they use the regular bomb explosion effects. Damage modelling isn't exactly great either. The bombs were added as a novelty for operating them instead of a serious attempt to simulate their effects.
“Nuclear” bombs
DCS does not support nuclear weapons, and I personally hope it never will.
However, you have an opportunity to use a bomb that simulate some
effects of so called “tactical nuclear explosions”.

That is from the manual and I agree with that.
^ I agree as well.

Most nuclear weapons deliverable by fighter aircraft have a maximum yield of around 1.2 MT, and they usually aren't set to the maximum yield anyway. As for the power of nuclear weapons: you don't need 50 megatons of yield to ruin someone's (or a whole country's, for the matter) day. The Tsar Bomba was more of a ♥♥♥♥-waving statement than an actual practical weapons system with any viable strategic utility; it couldn't fit fully inside the Tu-95 they used to deliver it for the test.

Nuclear ordnance doesn't really have any place in DCS, and I personally hope that they'd put more work into correctly modelling fragmentation damage than adding [more] tac nukes. Single-seat fighter aircraft are not the optimal means for delivering nuclear ordnance--although many modern fighters are capable of carrying tactical nukes, I personally hope to never see a day when F-15Es are being used to deliver B83s, because that would mean that a civilisation-ending war has broken out.
To the guys against nukes, what is better about carpet bombing, blowing stuff up with all kind of ordnance, contaminate whole areas with uranium munition and such? I mean sure, a (tac) nuke has the bigger impact, but in the end all of these are tools of (mass)destruction.
Not that I absolutely am in need for a nuke, and without them being in actual service (let's just hope it stays that way), I don't see the urge to put them into DCS. Just wondering why people loath one way to kill people over an other. Especially in a digital enviroment.
