Make it cost a 1000 perkies and it shows up on everyones map as a big orange dot no matter where it is, along with the arena message that a nuke is up.  At the same time 163's would be enabled at every base enemy to the B29 pilots side at half normal perk price. This would expire once the nuke is dropped or the B29 w/nuke was shot down.  The person that shoots down the B29 w/nuke recieves 500 perkies.  This would pretty much make it a suicide mission for the B29 pilot, or at the very least an epic battle to see who can get to it first to shoot it down.

In this situation a nuke would be (pun intended) a blast :aok :lol

It's too much power for 1 person, so how's this. Each time an enemy base is captured, your country gain "parts" for it. Once you have captured all bases, but still have not won the war (example would be 2 v 1 a country into oblivion), the nuke is ready to be dropped. The nuke is free, although it is only enabled from the same base 163s are. So if you want to use it, expect a 1 hour+ flight to wherever you're going. Ample time for the 2v1'ed country to form a defense. And if a whole country of 163s can't kill a couple sets of B29s, they deserve to lose. 

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Wishing for things that will not happen, period, is stupid.

Not everyone has seen the threads where pyro has said no to atomic bombs.

It's stupid to think everyone has.

I don't want to comment on possible outcomes while the poll is still live but that's never been said by anybody at HTC, even in private.  It would be stupid to put something in the poll that we weren't willing to make.  We have said before that we'll never do an atomic bomb.

I haven't researched a lot of that enough to have an informed opinion much less already have a decision made(that includes the 410 contrary to popular rumor).  I have to be carefully consider things when it comes to something that is very rare, very powerful, or very difficult to model or get coded into the game.  On the B-25G or H, I've been there done that in another game and think that would be a fun and worthy addition to AH.  A perk ordnance system looms out there in the indefinite future and that would certainly give me more leeway to put in more exotic stuff without having it run amok or eat up extra plane slots. I almost never say never, an exception to that is an atomic bomb.



There ya go. Shall we continue?

I really hope you're joking... Sarcasm don't work too well on the internet. She's not the hottest girl or best singer...but she's pretty famous. Or used to be at least.
