    How about making the nuke give of a bright blinding flash like a real life nuke?
    And then after the flash, the mushroom cloud will unfold it self.

    They do have a bit of a flash, but too much can just make them very annoying to watch go off.

    When nukes go off for me, they always cause the game to pause for 2 seconds.

    I think it's because of the shear amount of damage that's done to so many units at the same time.

    I think making the entire screen go white for half a second would be cool.

    To get a white screen would be annoying and you should not notice it if your on the other side of the planet.

    I'd like to see this, I know a lot of people found supcom nukes annoying but I really liked the flash and shaky screen.
    However, uber have said that there's still a lot of work to do on explosion effects so I'd wait and see, I expect they'll be looking better by release.

    I do hope they keep working on the effects, I find nukes in this game to be very underwhelming in terms of visuals.
