Stopping a Nuclear Warhead
Is it possible to stop a nuke during its flight, without using the Anti-Nuke?
Like Self-D a pepper near it, I mean, u must be very good to do something like
that, or maybe a bigger explosion on area where is it flying.

Well ive seen a nuke launching from a silo, only to hit a phoenix that was
flying directly over it, so i guess it can hit all aircraft.
Difficulty is that the nuke travels at a fairly high altitude. Higher than
standard bombers at least.

There’s no unit that would fly so high as to collide with a cruising nuke… but
you might try running a Peeper swarm into the nuke’s path as it descends for
impact.

so are TA’s explosions conical? or spherical?
cause if it is the former, you should be able to take them down with a peeper.
or you could tactiacally place roaches and A-Nukes

But how wold you know where the nuke would come down? Not even a hawk can keep
pace with a nuke can it?

Its something unpredictable, but in the end is right…

You can theoretically stop the nuke by having a plane above the silo that will
block the nukes path but its more based on lots of luck than l337 plane hovering
skills.

You can kill a peeper with a Bertha but It isn’t the sort of thing that happens
often.

Or to put it in another way, you can kill Hawks with a Bertha but that doesn’t
mean you should build Berthas for AA. Likewise you won’t build Peepers for
their antinuke capacities…

civman, TA’s explosions appear to be cylindrical, with the damage varying
vertically.

it’s easy to kill peepers with bbs, haven’t you ever played shore to shore with
the computer?!?!

It builds massive amounts of BBs and buzzsaws in it’s base. When your in range,
not even a peeper can escape their wrath. In theroy, you could have a “wall” of
bertha fire to block nukes. But th sheer amount of energy and constuction going
into it would make it obsolete.

Hmm, have I just stumbled on the “perfect” defense? A wall of fire that can kill
nukes, air, sea, and ground units before they can come remotley within range of
your base.

AFAIK, nukes can only be killed by collision with units or interceptor weapons.
And the only interceptor weapons in OTA are anti-nukes. An explosion or weapon
has no effect on a nuke.

collision with units? or collision with anything ( ballistic shot, missiles,
starburst rocket)?

Its something unpredictable, but in the end is right…

tauri u not listening?
he said collision with units not weapons… so no starburst rockets,plasma
shells etc…

So I suppose that a well-aimed nuke exploding right where the other nuke flies
over would not detonate it. Is that so?
A way to gain distance and altitude on berthas/timmies is to aim right in front
of it. It adds a good 10-20% to the range. IF berthas/timmies could hit nukes,
than that might be useful.

if u can somehow come up with a reliable system to aim ur BB or Timmy at a nuke
and hit it, PLZ share!
