Counter nuke with air ?

Postby odin002 » 11 Jun 2014, 09:08

Hello !

I'm just curious, does someone here have already killed a nuke missile(the t3 one, strategic missile) with its air or by an other way (without a strategic missile defense) ?

I haven't managed it with a T3 nuke, but I did do it with a T4 nuke once. It is luck based of course, but it can be done.

It is an antinuke, but SML should behave the same way.

I have discovered that if you fly enough t1 air scouts over a SML at just the right time they collide with the nuke and blow it up over their base and their base even takes a bit of damage... You have too use about 300-400 scouts though otherwise the probability of collisions is completely negligable

Try using something bigger. I've seen a replay where nuke hit a t3 transport. Still did some damage, but less than it was supposed to.

Yes: I've done it I think two times; and seen an ally do it once. So overall I see it one in 400 games.

Gyle has a replay when the nuke hits a t2 transporter on its way down saving the targeted base.

Some time ago we had someone here complaining that his SMD missle was "shot down" by an intercepter that landed with it's wind in the SMD building.

The best thing is to intercept nukes above the enemy launcher. You lose some air, but the other guy loses a base. Only when he's Seraphim the launcher survives (something a lot of people don't seem to know). A Seraphim nuke never damages it's own launcher.
