Let's Sperg Let's Play XCOM Terror From The Deep (Completed) - This is gonna hurt

were told that if they had to use a nuke torpedo, they were to fire it with a delayed timer and then immediately bank away from the target. Obviously everyone involved knew that you were still fucked in that situation.
Dude, some of those things were built to cause tidal waves.

I've read that was trickier than it seemed. Nukes interact really weird when detonated on or just below the surface of the water. For instance a bunch of the Bikini Atoll tests resulted in no ships beings sunk at all, even relatively close to the detonation point. Granted, those were late 40s low yield devices and we have considerably more powerful ones. I dunno if they ever figured out a way to make tidal wave nukes practical or if it was just one of those nuclear triad things that we built just to say we had it.

The story I know is that they're to be used against enemy surface ships only, but that the nuke was to be detonated just underneath the ships to break their backs.

Why am I not piloting a submarine?! I was not meant to throw grenades!
There are ROVs I guess but they suck and can't be named or gather experience. XCOM troops don't pilot their own craft. Apparently. Even though you lose the mission and the landing craft if all of your soldiers are killed. Either way the cockpit just isn't accessible.

If I ever get around to XPiratez I can make you a flying sub pilot tho.

If I die I want it to be known I was a pilot going above and beyond the call of duty.

2) GIMME ALL THE GRENADES, WE GONNA DIE TOGETHER, YOU LANDLUBBER FUCKS.
 
Hey, what if we just took the bodies of our dead guys, stick some cybernetics on them, maybe do a bit of black magic and bring the corpses back to life? We can have the cyber-dead and clones fight alongside each other against the aliens!

Shit, it would even work work with our dystopian overlords because they don't care about human lives much anymore. Free undead cyborg warriors for everybody!

You think that's a joke but just wait until I move on to XPiratez.
