    Can anti-air unit attack and destroy nuclear missiles? I want to know this, before the enemy have nuclear launcher and I have to find out the hard way.

    No, the only way to counter nukes is
    a. Counter Nukes
    b. Nuke them first.

    I think he meant nuke them before they get build.

    Yes, and also, if I built a cluster of anti-air stuff early on in game, and still had it, it would be able to serve 2 purposes. I was also thinking if one time I was low on metal and needed to urgently sort out the nuke...

    I don't agree since that would do 2 things:
    1. Make Anti-nukes irrelevant why waste a nuke worth of resources on defense of you can get the same protection for a 5% cost and no ammo limits
    2. It would make nukes useless since nuke defense would be so dirt cheap everyone would build some missile towers just because it's so much cheaper to have a redundant missile tower then to risk a nuke.

    Currently we see so little anti-nukes because they cost as much as a nuke itself. While this will hopefully change in the future (I'd like to see 3 anti-nukes be build in the same time space as one nuke).

    All you would have to do is give your nuke a fighter/bomber escort and there fucked.

    I didn't mean this as a suggestion, sorry for the confusion caused.
