Gfted1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ripped from the F3 forum, nuke your town and see the result. Luckily Im out of range of every weapon mentioned. Well, except for the pesky asteroid impact. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I nuked Sydney. Interesting, I thought the area covered would be a lot more. The Tsar Bomba seems to be the only bomb that does significant damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tsar Bomba seems to be the only bomb that does significant damage. I agree, although I wonder what the damage would be over time, after radiation storms and such.

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) My town is so small that even a 140KT nuke will obliterate it Edited February 26, 2009 by Kaftan Barlast DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Wow. Tsar Bomba could completely remove Montreal from the map, and not from radiation, from actual shockwave damage.

LadyCrimson Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The 21kt won't cover my city, but a 140kt would obliterate my city and several of it's popular surrounding cities (including some of the richest, like Atherton...) as well. Our Mid-Peninsula area is one of those places where you have many small-medium towns/cities clustered together that most people think of as a large whole. “Things are as they are.

Gorgon Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I nuked Sydney. Interesting, I thought the area covered would be a lot more. The Tsar Bomba seems to be the only bomb that does significant damage. I agree, although I wonder what the damage would be over time, after radiation storms and such. Initial casualties in Nakasaki 39,000, Hiroshima 140,000 due to the firestorms, and that was the smallest device used. Total secondary effects due to radiation damage and subsequent cancer increase not known. The blast area does look very small, I would have my windows blown out if I happened to be inside I might survive, although it would be a good idea not to be downwind of the particle cloud.

Musopticon? Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Fortunately, everything else except the Hiroshima payload would reduce my town to burnt post-apocalyptic husks. As for my uni, well, Tsar Bomba seems to do the trick, heh. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

taks Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 if they nuke norad, i'm safe up to the 50 MT thingy. same with schreiver AFB (which is where they run the GPS system from). taks comrade taks... just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgon Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Isn't NORAD completely useless after targeting technology improved sufficiently to ensure a direct hit, which it is not designed to withstand. They might as well have built it out of straw for all the good it's going to do. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 "Tsar Bomba" Pay at least some respect to the world's biggest bomb. I mean, other than Hades. "Alright, I've been thinking.

taks Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 They might as well have built it out of straw for all the good it's going to do. immaterial, it is still a large base and a fairly secure one with the sole exception being large, well targeted ICBMs. nobody is really sure how accurate soviet missiles are at this range, either. NORAD is mostly on standby now anyway, but it is still a good target. taks comrade taks... just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Carlo Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I live in London, which is a pretty big place. Yes the 50 megaton effort destroys it fairly comprehensively, with the tertiary effects covering the entire M25 (the orbital motorway, most of which isn't actually in London). OTOH, Little Boy, at a mere 15 KT, only zaps Westminster and a few outlying areas. I'd probably be faraway enough to see the mushroom cloud and catch radiation sickness.

Arkan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I live close to DC, yet only the Tsar Bomb would obliterate out to where I live. Hell, it would almost reach Baltimore, and that's just the thermal damage! And yeah...damned asteroids. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) If the nearest big city was bombed, I'd be in the outer damage circle at Mk28; I'm in the second inner ring with a Tsar Bomba, in the initial blast radius with a B61 and an Asteroid impact takes out the entire state. IIRC a physics professor said that the radiation from the smallest bombs would still probably kill us where we lived. Edited February 27, 2009 by Amentep I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
