In HoI4, think of It as superior Close Air Support and Strategic bombing rolled into one.ĭrop it directly on an enemy divisions and they will lose practically all organisation and a large amount of manpower and equipment, follow this up with a land assault and you'll brush aside the defenders with relative ease. If you're using them for a naval landing, remember to check you repair queue for port and infrastruture once you landed.Īlmost everyone uses it wrong / has a warped sense of reality when it comes to their understanding of the actual WW2 era Atomic Bombs (Smaller than people think, divisions are more spread out than civilian populations, entrenched. Japan is the only country with the two strike surrender decision. They have no side effects like irradiated area etc, they have no effect on population. They should disable the Victory Point they're dropped on for some time but do not expect to capitulate anything by relying solely on nukes, you'll still need to take land. War support impact is irrelevant, you will get better result with convoy raiding/strategic bombing.ĭropping a nuke on the capital will wreck infrastruture there, lowering supplies capabilities of the targeted country everywhere, because everything is coming from capital. I wouldn't use them to help paratroopers in battle tho, sounds like a bad idea.

They can turn the tides in battle, but you need to take into account deployement time of the bomb and arrival time of your division you do not want to drop them on your troops, do you ?

However those are purely informationalĪfter the 2nd nuclear bomb has been dropped on a Japanese core state, Japan has a special decision for surrenderĪlso, if you drop 3 bombs in a row on some divisions, you will obliterate them. The first use, as well as uses on specific (capital) cities, will result in news messages. It also reportedly provides some surrender progress This will be reduced if not at least 3 victory points are in the affected province War support for the target will be dropped by up to 20%, scaled to (intact?) infrastructure in the province Planes in an airfield might be wiped out nearly completely Statewide buildings present in a province will only be affected if they are the direct target Statewide buildings will be heavily damaged, which will affect both sides Originally posted by Paradox wiki: While the effects are primarily focused on the target Province, there is some effect onto the whole state and even country:ĭivisions in the province will be reduced to 20% or less of their strength and organizationĪll province buildings will be heavily damaged
