Nuclear Bombs

[LupusLazari]

How do you build a nuke?

[Mark]

Good question. I have done the research for nuclear reactors, atomic bomb, strategic bomber and placed atomic factories on my map but still I have zero nukes?

Research all the tech's needed for them, Nuclear, Reactors, Bomb.
Build Reactors on your map.(wait till they are done ofc. and hopefully not blown up to bits).
You should have a Nuke logo in the top left of your screen by now.
If you hover over that you will see how far your Current bomb is being constructed.

To drop it you need strategic bombers, Air supperiority above the region you want to bomb.
then watch the pretty lights.

Build nuclear reactors,once you have technology it will start to be built automatically. More reactors - faster.

[Meowser has not]

You will also need strategic bombers to use them

How many ?

[[NL]Ibahalii]

1 bomber per bomb you drop.
its more important to have air supperiority of the region you want to drop the bomb

Thnx,

Also i learned that strat bombers don't have to tasked with mission to nuke. Just be sure targeted area in their range.

I nuked a nation's capital with one bomb a couple minutes ago. Their structures damaged, that's ok but other effects seemed low to me. They just got -0,30% war support.

So, it needs a few bombs to touch it, right ?

not 100% how much you need for a disired effect of you.

but yea, you will most likely need more then 1 nuke per country.
Some countries might have a "hidden" event...like say japan.
It has an event that if as the USA and you bomb japan, they will surrender to you.

nukes shouldn't really be used to try and capitulate a country but rather damage infastructure/destroy divisions, and in the new update a nuke's effects on stability and war support dont change based on cities but rather states, so you can preserve your nukes for use on enemy divisions

That's good to know, thnx.

May i ask more,

Do nukes damage to divisions' HP or ORG ?
Are all units which included our own on nuked state affected by it ?
And
If u decided to use them how many nukes do u prefer ? (it may vary depending on the situation but maybe u can say "don't use less than 4" etc.)

Well, if you're going for a breakthrough against a tough line of divisions, one per tile you'll attack. At least. And hit a few of the further back spaces where there'll be a garrison (cities, mostly). Don't be afraid to use a few in succession on one spot, especially choke points - trying to cross the strait where Istanbul is is a pain without several bombs. Remember, always have them all hit at the same time for maximum effect.

They only do unit damage on the tile they are dropped.
If you want only one tile, bomb it. Like the person above said
If you want a whole province, bomb the province capital, should destroy the infrastructure and force the enemy to pull troops away

Allright, it's more clear for me now. Thank u for info guys, here's ur medal
