-Accuracy has really NO influence.

No surprise.

Even then, I haven't found the change in accuracy caused by top-notch FOs (including allied para OPs from OOB 13...) to be worth the bother and reflective of the accuracy of modern missiles.

That's interesting. But then again in reality for everybody
save maybe the US several years down the road guided artillery rounds and such are going to be a limited availability weapon, while the FOs give accuracy boost to any weapon with any ammo supply available. So maybe accuracy in the game was not fully jacked up to "realistic" levels to compensate for that.

In both cases, FROGs are basically in the ballpark (or out of it, if you prefer), but the 50m CEP of the Russian SSMs of the last 20+ years are nowhere to be found.

I always thought that FROG and similar weapons were about the max you could milk from this game engine that were still somewhat realistic.

Yeah, that's what I wanted my Daisy Cutter for - a scenario start weapon - ye olde instant LZ thing.

Yeah, unfortunately you can't make it so it can knock down foliage. I always wished that the game allowed for building a weapon big enough to turn a hex with trees into a clear one.

Yeah, know you can't do anything to the vegitation - more a flavor thing then anything else.
I was also once trying to figure out how to make a tac nuke for a scenario idea I had. Didn't have any luck tho.

I once tried to make a tac nuke by calcullating its HE kill (using kiloton equivalent and the same formula I use for HE) and then making a weapon tha'd fire a required nuber of HE Kill 255 warheads, but the survivability in ground zero was too high.

Oh?
I'm not overly worried about survivability, again I'd planned to use it for a scenario starter.
BOOM !!!
Now play the scenario with the "remnants" of your forces.

What did you wind up with as a number of warheads from your calculation Marek_Tucan?

Found just for Davy Crockett - for minimal yield (10kt) some 4 and a bit HEK 255 warheads, for max yield (250kt) ca. 22 such warheads. AFAIK tried also double the number of HEK 128 warheads. But don't recall exact numbers, though I may be able to repeat the tests if you like. What I do remember is that I was unimpressed.
