Nukes are Superweapons?

[ordos45]

Okay, it seems every time we end up doing the superweapon debate in an RP/War Thread, this question comes up. So for the next few days I'm keeping this thread open to see what you think. Then we can decide from the total votes if nuclear weapons are superweapons (in an RP/War) or not.

Nope, I dont belive they are

[Mad Rhetoric]

I believe it depends.If it is an intergalactic war,I say,"Go ahead,nuke all you want."If its like underwater war,I point to a small door in the wall with a pile of bones next to it and say to the person,"You wanna know whats behind that door?"When they nod their head,I say,"You don't wanna know whats behind that door."(I hope you all know who I'm talking about-Gob.He seems to have gotten extra vicious these days ;) ;) ;) )

Nukes, yes. Chemicals, only in large quantities. Biological, same as chemical.

Perhaps we should declare a limit; any weapon that can kill over <insert number> people in one shot is a superweapon. Yes?

[exatreide]

Well Then Small nukes, Ect wouldnt be a super weapon if we did it that way

[Dante]

No, they wouldn't.

[Inoculator9]

I'd have to say that nukes wouldn't be, although that would depend on the criteria for the thread. If more powerful weapons are available then it wouldn't be, but if nothing else above it is available then it would be.

IMO, strategical nukes are, but tactical nukes arne't. I think that a nuke should be able to take out an outpost at most.

I thuink it depends on the scale of war
