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.
