I found the sound on this sequence -- off the discs, that is -- to have sounded really underwhelming on my system. It SHOULD be a bass-test, no? I mean -- 230 gigatons is a lot of boooom.

@Nomoreidsleft read the post I was responding to. The dude was discussing using a Horizon on Earth. Thus my statement still stands as accurate.

@Jackneill45 MAD does not apply in interplanetary warfare. The destruction is not mutual, because it's confined to the enemy's planet. The only problem with this attack, was that it was too limited, and ineffectual. Although they destroyed the known threat of the ships under construction, they underestimated the extent of the enemy's ability to retaliate.

@irontusk341 Except they guy at the end said, "Detonation confirmation, on all six warheads..". (Was it Mackay?) Self inconsistency, in the writing.

I kinda love the logic they use here,
"Let's piss off the already pissed machines by nuking them."

@slickit86 Watch the episode. 4 are decoys.
The Horizon contains six mark IX naquadriah enhanced warheads, according to numbers I got from a calculation system using the 100 mile total destruction comment gave the yield of each device at 230 gigagtons. Dropping bombs of such power on the middle east will destroy the whole region and the surrounding areas. The fallout will blanket West Europe (East will be destroyed) and most of what is left of China and Russia, killing billions. Essentially, such a bomb should never be used on Earth.

you don't win with nukes that size. That is their whole purpose. Read the MAD doctrine for a idea on moderen nuclear war.
