I know the soviets often have ships armed with Nuclear SAM. How are these treated in game? Do they require nuclear clearance? What effect do they have on Missile and Plane groups?

Same effect as normal non Nuke SAMs.

 

The Code simply ignores the DP Value of a weapon, if fired against an Airtarget. So there´s no activation of the nukewarhead.

 

You can test this with my 65to80db. I´ve modelt some Talos variants with a nukewarhead. They have a 100PH but will only kill a single Airtarget, no groups.

P.S There´s a report about the Nuke SAMs in the beta area.

I figured Rene would be on this thread like stink on a monkey.

 

Short version: nuclear SAMs are non-functional, at least for the moment.

Part Deux: Do they work if fired at a surface target?

They work fine....

 

Kill the surface target(s) + any airtargets in range
