B-2 can carry nuclear missiles. If someone ever thinks of USA nuke in the game it should be lauched from a B-2.

Got the idea from movie : independens day.

The B-2 is the Air Force's primary nuclear deterrent plane.

Air drop nukes for the U.S. won't happen for the game though, sadly. That was determined a long time ago.

awwwwww, it wouldve been so cool!

[Bob]

I agree with you totally.

[ZeroSamuraiX]

can you tell my why it was decided upon not to have B-2s?

[Bob]

Naw, it wasn't about the B-2's themselves. It was about having air dropped nukes. Since the end of the Cold War the U.S. has been pulling away from the threat of using nukes (WMD), to the use of more precision guided munitions such as the Tomahawks.

Therefore, the general consensus here in the group was that the U.S. shouldn't have the nuke ability. (exception - the SW generals ICBMs)

I believed that the AF general should also have an air dropped nuke as well in it arsenal, since nukes are still part of the American stockpile. Just make them more difficult to purchase and fire in the game. But I was in the minority on that one, and overruled.

Someone did bring up the idea of air launched tomahawks for the B-2 before instead of nukes, but nothing ever came of it.

[Ace22]

If there ever will be air-launched Tomahawks, it will be from a B-1B Lancer, as they were made to carry cruise missiles.

Now, if the US gets another superweapon, then it will be the Zero Point Bomb.

[00 Nobody]

Vanguard's still working on it, and I dunno when he'll finish it. anyone know exactly what the bomb will do (besides make a big boom)?

[M.E.C.H.]

we can't have ancient stuff in with it

You mean in the game ? (Mod) ???
If yes then thats what made me start the mod... the same reason, i thought that a faction using WW2 tanks against an 2025 "abrams" is very stupid... Cause you cant just put a faction that dont use power and has ww2 tanks in 2025.... Today (2006) the countries that are close to the GLA style are : SYRIA, IRAQ, ISRAEL e.t.c.... And they have apaches, merkava (which is devastating), brahmos... and many more powerfull NOWADAYS weaponry

[Jsmooth13]

yeah we know but vanguard is commited to depriving the GLA from an air force

[7th_Panzer]

The US does have a missile that is very similar to an air-launched Tomahawk, called the ALCM. They are nearly identical.

[crave22]

@M.E.C.H.
I'd have to agree. However, Israel is more like the US. Since we give them tons and tons of really expensive toys and, like, a couple million dollars a year for them to invest in their defense. Thye are the most advanced military in the Middle East, and are essentially the 'United States' like power of the area.

[Ace22]

Which explains why everyone wants to kill them.

[crave22]

Precisely. And because of religious intolerance.

[Vanguard]

For the B2 thing we wont have them, and you want to know why...it's because there's a B3 already ingame . The Zero Point bomb is already done graphics wise, but not weapon and Power wise.

[link.the.first]

Make sure it's really freaking powerful.

Will it replace the MOAB or anything? Or will you make it a superweapon for Alex, a bomber for Granger, and a beam for Townes like I suggested a while back?

[Vanguard]

It will probably an upgrade like the MOAB for the Cluster bomb, and will probably deal around 5,000 damage.

[Ace22]

Now, the PC does 4000 damage in a single blast, so that would level an area, right?

[Jsmooth13]

It doesn't now.
