What are the best moments to fire them , and when?
That is what this guide is about
Helpful mainly for newbies , but aim sure the vets also have use to this also.

Not at radars! , the only cost 500 metal to make , a nuke costs the exact same
Not at gates! , same reason , only whit +250 metal

At nuke silo's , even better if the owner doesn't have a missile factory build! And if the do , just hit them before their charged , but when their charging , the owner loses 1500 metal that way , even better if you know how active the owner is , launch a second nuke as close as possible as the first (which has to be outside the radar range , Pro tip : jam their radars and colony's , when the owner gets on ) and boom , if the rebuild and recharge it , 3k metal gone! , or 4,5k , 6k or maybe even 12k!

Barracks whit units , when your about to attack it (logic) , and when their are 100 units + in it (the more the better), lets say an average unit costs 300 metal , 200 oil
100 units = 10 dead , 1 nukes = 500 metal , enemy : 3k metal + 2k oil = win
Now take 300 units (hehe , LoW ) , 30! : 9k metal + 6k oil = epic win
or lets say a superpower whit all their members comes in , around 1,3k units? , if their all in 1 op? , 39k metal + 26k oil = epic ultra mega combo win! , now add 9 nukes to it : 10 nukes , first 130 units , 1,2k left : 120 units : 1,1k left : 110 units : 1k left : 100 units : 910 left : 91 units : 820(rounded up (by 1) left : 82 : 730 (rounded up from now) left : 73 : 660 left : 66 : 600 left : 60 : 540 left , and it only took 10 nukes : 5 metal , and half their army = GONE!!
Don't forgot to jam their colony's and radars , more chance of success

Yes , but , how many nukes can a ion cannon destroy?
a ion cannon cost 250E , a nuke 25E , 500M and some oil

Nope, hostile units within 1 tick of the target will still be affected.

Thats where the magical jam button is for

When did you say that?
And Rederoin seems to be talking about packed barracks.

very good guide
thanks
