Nuclear Payload icon

[digital spade]

If a friendly aircraft or any munition is carrying a nuclear warhead a small yellow ☢ symbol should be placed on top of their existing icon, and bombs could get a possible trajectory icon on the map in the form of a crosshair or X where the munition is likely to land.

When targeted, since the unit icon turns yellow, if friendly the ☢ should turn blue for contrast, and vice versa (red) for enemy icons.

The icon should have the symbol in the place of the laser designated icon if the target is viewed normally and not from the map.

Could even have a prefix number to indicate how many warheads they sortied with- [2☢️] for example

i really like how the qol mod makes the icons for nukes on the map way bigger

[digital spade]

Theres been situations where I see a trio of missiles high up near an aircraft and think, "eh, must be stratos".
One minuite later I notice a lack of our carrier group

I would agree, under most circumstances, but like. That's one of the huge advantages to nuclear weapons. Until it goes off you won't know.

In my potentially controversial opinion, it's generally better to assume that (with nuclear weapons cleared for use) any aircraft heading towards a valuable target is armed with them.

[solar wharf]

there should be an indication for friendly nukes, but not for enemy nukes

[shrewd cradle]

Maybe even with a team vote option to ban a specific guy from using them if they're irresponsibly wasting team warheads.

[royal narwhal]

aircraft no, munition yes

[molten hinge]

how do you know that enemy aircraft have nukes inside
aircraft no, munition yes

[royal narwhal]

^got that the completely wrong way 😭

[fading cobalt]

the suggestion specifies friendly aircraft

[digital spade]

It specifies friendly aircraft and anyone's munitions

If you can check for the type of a weapon using the map it should automatically show it

[full cypress]

So I think it would be great to only have the Nuclear icon near friendly planes, so you know, which are a priority to protect. E emy aircraft wouldnt have any markings

[digital spade]

...
I said
Friendly aircraft and anyone's munitions.

[shrewd cradle]

Yup, my original message wasn't replying to your original post, but to this message. :)) since it seemed like you were concerned about not being aware of enemy nukes

[shrewd cradle]

In other words, I disagree with "anyone's munitions" assuming you mean already launched, in-air ordnance.

I don't think they should be indicated in that way.

[eager frigate]

Even for friendly more nope than yes. Because griefers could kill people who carry nukes.

In any case this is very good idea, we should test it

[full cypress]

I dont think we should adapt to the 'what if griefers', as those would still be smaller % of players, than everybody else.

[dim condor]

That would be solved by better systems to punish griefing than nerfing other systems

[royal narwhal]

this is a completely different issue

[digital spade]

If griefers are gonna teamkill they're gonna attack anyone they see

[digital spade]

If that logic was used we wouldn't even have nukes
