I assume you're being sarcastic; I don't believe it can. I guess it's probably possible in principle, but god only knows why you'd want to. It can, sort of... Definitely improving. I'd definitely say Nulka might be your only remaining sticking point. BTW, didn't even realize Nulka could be launched...

They require more manpower to operate, the turbines doesn't last as long as either gas or steam turbines and the cost of nuclear fuel is directly related, if somewhat behind on the curve, to the cost of oil. At the...
The Stealth problem I mention comes from a PDF that got released by accident by LockMart last year and taken off within 2-3 hours that went into details about the stealth being optimized for the X-Band only to cut down on development costs. Unfortunately I wasn't able to save the PDF due to me bein...
Thiel - you will notice that the stealthing of ships hasn't gone as far as some were predicting, simply because the RCS isn't going down fast enough to be worth the added cost. As for nuclear, the smallest nuclear combatant is going to come in at around 5-8k tons. The basing disadvantage is that som...

I don't care how big a thing datalinks & sensor fusion is, doesn't mean jack if the plane gets shot down ...
