Maybe it should be an upgrade for the battleship, a small anti-nuke launcher. It shouldn’t be as good as the ground-based one though.

I like the carrier idea much better. Battleships are purely offensive weapons.

I don’t mind them being able to shoot down nukes (and thus voted the ambivalent option), but there should be some cost, whether it’s in the fact that they only have one anti-nuke to shoot or the reload time is really long or you have to build the missiles manually. Anything that balances it out works, really.

Whether or not it makes sense is another story. Battleships are supposed to be on the offensive side of the map, not guarding your base from nuclear assault. Odds they’d probably only shoot down your own nukes as they attack the base you’re trying to nuke, so it’s probably best to get rid of the functionality altogether.

I remember seeing one of my Battleships shooting down an Artillery shot before too.

Anti-nuke on Battleships for free sounds a bit harsh though.

PS forgot to mention that i dont think they should have to PAY for it… be much better if it had a 5min reload time (or only had 1 defence per battleship!

on battle ships should be fine but i think they should have a ‘chance to miss’ so u need a few to take out a nuke for shure…..

also being a tak defence does that mean aeon (or is cyban) battleships that turn the nuke back on them the enermy! that could be VERY nasty

I like the idea that carriers can build SMDs (at cost) better. It doesn’t really make sense that battleships get it; it’s more of a support role, while battleships aren’t really support units. Also, you shouldn’t get it for free.

Considering they took away the ability to build SMD on water, it sounds like a plan.

Though I wish they’d fix the stuff they broke like the ASFs.

I do agree that there should be some sort of naval anti-nuke capability (although in my experience nukes aren’t particularly effective against large fleets), but free anti nukes on all battleships seems a little extreme. I would give it to the carriers, perhaps, and make them build their anti nukes.
