E.R.W. Neutron Bombs for SSBN / Mobile MRBM by TAR5US

Description
ERW - Neutron Bombs - Adds Low Yield - High Fallout Nuclear Tactical MRBM to mobile launchers and SSBNs to allow for increased pollution attacks of similar fallout to a 50MT warhead without the cost or destructive power.

What is a ERW?

A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself. The neutron release generated by a nuclear fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components. The neutron burst, which is used as the primary destructive action of the warhead, is able to penetrate enemy armor more effectively than a conventional warhead, thus making it more lethal as a tactical weapon.

Unit effected:
Mobile MRBM Launcher ( New weapon option: ERW MRBM)
SSBN (New Weapon option: ERW SLBM)

New Technology Research:
ERW Neutron Bombs ( AFTER Boosted Fusion Time: ~5 in game minutes)

'With the neutron bomb, which destroys life but not property, capitalism has found the weapon of its dreams.'

Youre not - I like that idea

How about an option where it "kills all organic life" but does ZERO pollution, then use the new coding the DEV put in to allow the other side to surrender when their population goes to ......say 50%?

I understand the DEV's wish is to say "the best move is no move at all" (wargames ref), but this is a game I purchased and would just love to be able to actually "win" with no "the world is in ruins, you are a bad person".

I hope I am not alone with wanting this.:ghsmile:

This might work with these total conversion mods
- Parabellum Super Navy?
- Omnicide?;
- Dawn@M?

not works

Neutron bomb doesn't really cause more pollution, it's cobalt bomb which does that

I'll give this a try, since I really like your other mods. However, the 'neutron bomb' was conceived as an "anti-armor" or "ABM" weapon. (To produce immediate/prompt radiation casualties in otherwise protected tank crews in the first role, and to produce radiation-induced malfunctions in incoming nuclear warheads in the latter.) The idea that they can kill the population of a city whilst leaving the infrastructure intact in a misconception (burst height to produce lethal doses would be close enough to wreck the city, even if most of the energy is released as neutrons).
That said... This would be a really neat addition if 'conventional forces' were part of the game. Or, maybe as an enhancement to the ABM tree? (As it was intended?)
Keep at it, TARSUS! I'm loving the content.

Your initial paragraph implies that the ERW kills the same amount of population for smaller missiles, is that correct? Also, could I suggest to move ERW to its own research, not tied to the boosted fusion research? Since the scientific focus is on a smaller weapon with less thermal/kinetic effects, keep the same amount of time to research the same as the boosted fusion research. Like the diversity of your mods. :steamhappy:
