Kamikaze nuke

In state of war, if you were fortunate enough to own some, "rogon bombs" were the sh*t. They were kamikaze tanks, with high speed and near-indestructible armour, and if used correctly, can "turn the tide" of battle. I know we have asteroids, but, with a specific new factory (and maybe radioactive material compound?), these epic weapons could roam the battlefields once more.

I think it's just called a nuke.

OK... but are they present in PA? We need all weaponry we can get our hands on to help us annihilate planets.

Errm, yes check the kick-starter video.

We see nukes attempting to kill a incoming asteroid.

awesome! put a gun on top, make it non-kamikaze and win entire wars!

But me? i hate kamikaze units. I've never truly understood what the point of them is. Add a rocket engine and you can call it a missile.

Well yeah, that's the point they are controllable missiles.

Oh, those are nuclear missiles. I meant one that could be driven to an exact location.

Why would you put a nuke in a tank and drive it over to a base when you can just launch it by missile?

Subtlety.

A nuke in a near indestructible tank? Reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad4fagTyaM4
Hopefully your tank will be not as though.

An another note: From a robot's point of view any missile is a kamikaze attacker, or not?
So I'd say PA has enough suicidal attackers already.

EDIT:
So it seems the v= parameter of the youtube-link is offensive, here is a different one:

I do what I want. Plus, missiles could be shot down by anti-air defences, whereas a "rogon bomb" could drive straight into enemy defence, while blowing them up at the same time.

Also, that youtube video "does not exist".

yes because the link was broken by the forum.
check the link I edited in

Speaking of kamikaze I sure hope combombing makes a glorious return, it looks incredibly stupid when it goes off in nuclear fire and can barely kill a tank.

What game did that?

supcom since patch 3217

I am certain that a commanders death nuke kills tanks at T1 and T2, even T3 units get shredded at medium to close range to the epicentre.

You mean choosing a target location isn't enough control?

What if you had second thoughts, and wanted to drive it somewhere else? What if it got blow up mid-air by anti-air defences, and didn't hit anything? That is why I want to have a ground version as well.

Power source.

I really think you' making up problems to fix. Second thoughts on a Nuke is not something that should be fixed in-game, it's something the player needs to fix with thier thought process, the idea that there shouldn't be any risk to a high cost, high damage weapon is not a problem that needs fixing.

Also you assumption that Nukes can be intercepted by AA isn't based on anything confirmed.
