      It is scary how close this kind of thing is getting to reality for the US, given stealth capabilities on our missiles and EKVs on ground based and ship based missile defense. Not to even mention defenses like THAAD and patriot.
      It is not at all outside the realm of possibility that the USA could pull this off with most countries that have nukes given the comparatively tiny arsenals most have today.

    I remember playing this game on LAN in my office back in the day. It had a specific game mode that was designed to play out over 8 hours to let you play it at work, and give fairly unassuming alerts in your status bar to let you know if other players did important stuff like launch missiles. The program had a "boss key" where it would instantly minimize if you were playing and your boss came around. Good times.

    Pro tip for newer players. Launch all your bombers into the distance somewhere on the map.From your air bases, and aircraft carriers. u should have close to 50 bombers out at the same time. Once all of them are out u just order them 1 by 1 to nuke 1 continent. Then u use ur silos to fire ICBMS and your submarines. and by the time all of it comes together u have over 60 ICBMS on top of 1 continent. At that point no amount of defenses can stop so many nukes at the same time. Most games i play by the end of the game i have 0 nukes left and at least 70% of them hit cities because i swarm my enemies with an overwhelming amount of nukes.

      Unthinkable would have been a slog through Eastern Europe with roughly one bomb a week as the allies plus Germany attempted to deplete the lend-lease equipment the Soviets had just been given, and then deplete their manpower advantage (doable with American artillery doctrine) while formenting revolution in the various Russian slave states. Meanwhile the marines land in kamchatka and start heading west.

      Counterforce is more difficult now than it was 40 years ago though.
      Russia, China, and North Korea deploy road-mobile ICBMs that can move around. North Korea is the most mobile and doesn’t have any fixed silos.
      If the US were to ever strike North Korea, it would carry a very high risk of not getting all the launchers they hide in the mountains and forests and they have an 18k kilometre range these days so they can reach everywhere

    But for sure the AI could have scored some hits even when it launched if it targeted west coast cities - they were too far from the silos to be defended I think.

      The AI in DEFCON won't immediately launch all their missiles once DEFCON 1 hits. They will wait for a mass strike once a bit of time has passed after 1. Hence, why a first strike, if successful since silos have AA, if they aren't launching missiles, will most definitely cripple a player.

    Using the aerial launched missiles to soak up their initial defense while suppressing their inclination to let off rounds.
    Securing supremacy in the Pacific and Atlantic to deny them routes for air launches to the states.
    Firing off your land missiles first, then firing your submarine missiles last, to combine the arrival times for a massive merciless strike to overwhelm what defensive capability remained.
    The generous thing about this scenario is that Russia has battle ready carriers.
    Aside from this masterclass of strategy, imagine a world where Russia and only Russia is vanquished by nuclear fire. An entire nation reduced to ruin while its attempt to secure mutually assured destruction failed miserably. The US just demonstrated that there IS indeed a way to WIN a nuclear war, and only they can do it, by just doing it.

    • @SuperPGaming
      @SuperPGaming  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Thanks.
      Obviously this is just a game, and both sides in this game have 316 nuclear warheads.
      In reality Russia has over 6500, and the USA has over 6000. So even if the attacker played all their cards right and attacked first, they would likely still suffer a counter-attack that gets through.
      I think Russia is more likely to fire first in the event of WW3 because they know the US has a technical advantage on conventional forces, and the Kremlin would want to get their nukes out the tubes before the US wipes out their ability to retaliate.
      This is why brinksmanship with Russia is so dangerous, and why the conflict in Ukraine is concerning due to its potential to escalate
