Has anyone been to either place when the big ones went off? Are they potrayed in the game? If so, they gotta be quite dramatic. Anyone?

Screen shots?

Good question, I've thought of that myself. I wonder though if it'd be looked at as politically incorrect to depict it! People still, even 60+ years later, call the USA "war criminals" for using those weapons first, even though the other countries were trying just as hard to develope them also.

Pretty sure the answer is no. At most, you'll see a radio message about a bomb being dropped but thats about it.

Politics aside (And it IS a political hotbed, with good reason), if anyone can confirm or deny by first hand experience please let us know.

The game's been out for 9 months now. If there were atom bombs screenshots I think somebody would've posted 'em by now. Lots of major Japanese cities like Tokyo and Osaka were massively firebombed by B-29s prior to the twin A-bomb attacks. I don't think that's portrayed either.

^^^ interesting "flavor" for later in the war might be added. The reality is that US subs didn't get close enough to see the 2 A-bombs except maybe flashes over the horizon.

Firebombing though... you can attach fire/smoke effects to ANY object that has an eqp file. It would be easy to add a bunch of them to certain coastal cities that were bombed and have the units spawn at the right date/time. It might be possible to make a dat that has no 3d object, but a bunch of nodes spread FAR apart to hook smoke/fire to.

Might be interesting for some lifeguard missions.
